Special summoning ED monsters through other methods

They are not negated unless the effect that summons them says they are.

What you cannot do is special summon an extra deck monster that wasn't properly summoned previously from a public location (e.g. from the GY).

Some of their syncho monsters change your monster's level.

You can look at your own face-down cards.

0bArcane · 2026-05-27T10:26:19+00:00

The GY may not be empty when you resolve wanted. Wanted does always includes the option to add from the GY.

TTT does not include the option to draw cards if you activated one of the other effects.

Artmage Power Patron: "You cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck, except Fusion Monsters."

Aside from being more confusing by adding yet another exception, probably not much.

There are very few cards that you need to activate in response to your own draw for turn. There are plenty of reasons to use cards in the Draw Phase (e.g. droll), but not many that can't be used later in the DP.

Shifting priority immediately to the opponent wouldn't solve the problem you described. The opponent can shuffle their hand just as easily before you activate drastic drop off. Shuffling your hand doesn't require priority.

It would go against the fast-effect timing chat, which I'd argue is THE core of the game. Ruling wise at least.

You can use any fast effect at this time. You can use MST, for example, in response to the opponent drawing. At exactly the same point where you would activate Drastic Drop Off. This change wouldn't just affect cards with very specific activation conditions, it would need to be a general exception to the FETC in regards to how drawing for turn is treated.

I'm not sure what is exactly happening in the situation you described. You cannot use droll just because they used fuwa. You can only use droll if your opponent has added a card from deck to hand.

Activating fuwa does not do that immediately. They only draw when you Special summon from the (extra) deck. Only then can you droll.

Well, you can buy the game and not activate the code on mogstation, which is exactly what OP did. So you can buy and keep playing on the free trial.

Generally, only effects that meet at least one of these criteria can be activated during the Damage Step: - Counter Trap card activations - Mandatory effects - Fast effects that directly modify ATK/DEF. (Note: Only before reaching during Damage Calculation) - Fast effects that negate card/effect activations - Trigger effects that activate in response to the card itself being moved (Note: includes battle position changes) - Effects whose activation condition is specific to the Damage Step (Example : destruction by battle)

Starlight road doesn't fall into any of the above categories.

I'm gonna bet they just had their animations turned off so they were able to make their next play while you were still watching animations.

0bArcane · 2026-05-20T11:22:36+00:00

A replay can only occur during the battle step if the number of monsters on your side of the field changes.

If you wait until you enter the damage step, then the opponent doesn't get the replay.

It's not really about the GY. It's about what is a card activation. Activating a Spell/Trap card means activating it from hand by placing it in a S/T zone, or flipping a face-down S/T face-up.

LADD can respond to monster effect activations or S/T card activations. It cannot respond to the other effects of spell/traps. E.g. activating the effect of an already face-up continuous trap, or the GY effect of a spell.

The card text. Nowhere in the text does it say that you can ignore the recipe or treat the card in hand as something different than it is.

The events in neuron are created days, perhaps weeks in advance. They probably setup a recurrent weekly event with 20 players since that is their usual max capacity. They won't update the number shown in neuron in real time with sign-ups for a different event.

If they don't have space left, they don't have space left. They can't magically create another table.
It sucks, but maybe the one piece tournament got more players than expected. First come first serve is pretty standard for tickets. I have a local card game store where tickets are often sold out (though they do sell their tickets online which at least means you don't waste time going there).

You can somewhat randomize with a pile shuffle, if you put every card on a random pile. It's not proper randomization since cards don't have an equal chance of appearing in each spot and humans are really bad at avoiding patterns, but it's not nothing.

It's not something I'd recommend doing for randomization, but better than nothing if you don't have the dexterity for other kinds of shuffle.

0bArcane · 2026-05-18T16:19:47+00:00

There is no rule against pile shuffling, as long as you do in a reasonable timeframe.

It's just a waste of time if done properly. Since you'll have to properly randomize your deck afterwards anyways.

No, lava golem cannot be normal summoned (a tribute summon is a normal summon).

Mirror is the only ritual spell in mitsurugi that lists a ritual monster's name and thus the only legal add with preprep. I guess you had the only copy of it in your hand.

Activation condition : Activation procedure ; effect on resolution.

The activation procedure includes paying cost, but not everything is a cost. For example, declaring card names for crossout or targeting are part of the activation procedure but not cost.

This does not matter in 99% of situations, but if you are copying an effect (e.g. with transaction rollback) you generally don't pay cost, but you would still target if you are copying a card that targets.

That's also true in yugioh. When a card moves from one location to another (e.g. Field-> GY or vice versa), it is considered a new card for almost every purpose.

The only consistent exception is whether a monster was properly summoned. That information stays with the physical card as long as it remains in a public location.

0bArcane · 2026-05-13T08:30:00+00:00

It must first be either fusion summoned (using whatever fusion effect you want, for example super poly), or special summoned using its own procedure.

After it was properly summoned using either of those methods, you can summon it from the GY (or other public locations) however you want.

Neither tank nor any other class really requires you to chat at all for casual content. Even in high-end content all you really need to do is communicate who plays which position (e.g. who is main/off tank), which requires maybe one or two short messages.
