![]() Effect Veiler activates, negating Trishula’s effect on the field. In the same respect, if a Player A Summons Caius, activating it’s effect, and your Player B activates Effect Veiler as Chain Link 2, and Player A chains Enemy Controller tributing Caius to take an appropriate target on Player B’s field as Chain Link 3, Caius’s effect would resolve because it would not be on the field for Effect Veiler to negate it.Ĭomplex Activation Ruling Example: If Player A summons a Trishula and Player B activates Bottomless Trap Hole, and Player A gives no response, then Player B activates Effect Veiler as Chain Link 3 to negate the effect, here is what happens. An example of this would be if someone tribute Lonefire Blossom, Effect Veiler wouldn’t negate the effect because it is no longer on the field when the effect resolves. If Effect Veiler is chained to a monster’s activation effect, if that monster would be removed from the field before it’s effect is activated, Effect Veiler’s ability to negate the effect on the field would fizzle and the effect would resolve. Other activation cards can be activated from the hand such as Maxx “C” and Effect Veiler. ![]() For example, if you were to Bottomless a Caius the Shadow Monarch, the effect of Caius would still resolve even though it is not on the field. If an effect is activated on the field, a card like Bottomless Trap Hole (which would be chain link 2 if activated in response to the summon of the monster) would remove the monster from the field, but the effect would still resolve on the chain. These do not require player priority, but they are still considered the first thing on the chain when that monster is successfully summoned. Trigger effects are sometimes activated when a monster is summoned like Elemental HERO Stratos or Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier. In the current TCG, when a monster is summoned with an Ignition effect that can be activated when it is on the field, that player is granted Turn Player Priority and if the player chooses to activate that effect, it becomes the first thing on a chain that can be responded too (examples include Lonefire Blossom or Rescue Rabbit). Ignition effects are effects that can be used when a specific condition is met and are always optional (remember that mandatory effects like Zaborg the Thunder Monarch’s are trigger effects). This may seem simple, but you would be surprised at how many people don’t understand this. Solemn Warning would stop him because it would negate his summon and he would never be considered on the field. This means that cards like Bottolmess Trap Hole cannot be activated in response because he is already on the field whey they would activate and his effect is considered already live. ![]() His effect becomes active immediately upon his summon being successful. Jinzo’s effect cannot be chained to and it does not activate, so it cannot be negated by cards like Divine Wrath. A Continuous effect continues as long as a card is in play. There are different kinds of monster effects including Continuous, Ignition, and Trigger. Today I will only be talking about monster effects, since this will be more than enough to soak in in one sitting for some players. However, I really hope that this helps and that it can give you a better understanding of the game that you are playing. In fact, I often find myself asking those judges ruling questions before events on specific cards. I do not feel that I know everything there is to know about this and I am not a YCS level head judge. ![]() I want to try to give an understanding to people as to why rulings are the way they are, not just specific this and that’s. In addition, I want to talk about some of the technicalities and wordings in some cards that can generally create confusion among people. I want to help illustrate some of the intermediate to complex game mechanics and explain how things work using common examples from the current meta game. Sometimes they are pretty tricky and I have to call a few friends for verification, but generally speaking they are all questions that can be answered with a reasonable understanding of the rules. What’s up boys and girls, its T-Time! Every now and then I get questions on my Facebook, youtube, and even my phone asking me ruling questions.
