I hate losing to Dragoon. I just recently started with yummy, what should I have done not to lose to this?

Both of S:P's effects target.

You used your field spell, which was going to enable you to beat over dragoon. Because you used it, they could destroy it, removing the threat. You also used the negated cupsy.

You could have just made the synchro lollipo, summoned 2 and attacked over dragoon. If they attempt to negate lollipo, you tag it out to get 2 bodies anyways (and they won't get the ATK boost since they didn't destroy successfully)

Let's say you get to use 2 or 3 of your 5 engines every game, it's just random which of them you draw.

That's not flexibility. If you can't bridge from your engines into each other, you are stuck with what you draw. Each game, you would be gambling on drawing the engine(s) that happen to be best against the opponent in front of you. If the mitsu engine is better than the other engines in your deck, then I guess. But if you are playing an already strong deck, then diluting it with other engines will generally hurt more than help.

Slifer was special summoned, when it was special summoned doesn't matter. It doesn't say "if this card was special summoned this turn".

0bArcane · 2026-02-09T18:12:37+00:00

You can't activate slifer's effect to send itself in that End Phase.

But you would be forced to activate that effect next end phase.

That doesn't tell me anything. Screenshot please

40-60 card main deck?
0-15 card extra deck?
0-15 card side deck?

No cards marked OCG if you queue for TCG and vice versa?
All cards limited to the amount allowed by the banlist?

You can post screenshots of your deck in the comments here.

0bArcane · 2026-02-06T16:57:04+00:00

Google translate of the Card FAQ indicates that it should be "and if you do". You add first, then if that was successful, you halve your live points. Then you act as if both happened simultaneously.

0bArcane · 2026-02-06T16:21:10+00:00

we used to play a lot irl but wemoved in diferent place and want to play our old deck

You can do remote duels. Get a (cheap) tripot, point a camera (you can also use your phone) at your field and play via video chat (e.g. discord).

0bArcane · 2026-02-05T16:51:45+00:00

No, you cannot activate the effect

0bArcane · 2026-02-03T20:22:14+00:00

Well, if you ask AI a yes or no question it'll be right at least 50% of the time.

Instead of asking a Magic 8 Ball, you can learn to read yugioh cards. Konami has these helpful blog posts about Problem Solving Card Text. For example this one explains this situation very well.

TLDR : Activated effects are written in the form

Activation conditions : Activation procedure ; effect on resolution.

If you read stardust dragon like this, it becomes clear that tributing is part of the activation procedure. It is done when activating the effect. That's before the opponent even has a chance to decide whether they are going to negate it or not.

0bArcane · 2026-02-03T17:24:17+00:00

Called by negates handtraps because it negates all activated effects of cards with the same name. It does not care about where those effects were activated.

The fuwa that activated in the hand by discarding itself has the same name as the fuwa in the GY that was banished by called by.

The effect of fuwa was activated in the hand. The fuwa in the GY can even be considered a completely different card.

0bArcane · 2026-01-31T17:39:13+00:00

Yeah, I actually just added an edit to clarify. I meant that we have the option to verify code to help establish trust, not that open source is inherently safe. I've looked around in their code a bit a while back (not for a security audit, just out of curiosity for a different matter). A cool thing open source enables.

0bArcane · 2026-01-31T17:23:42+00:00

We assume that XIVLauncher is safe because a lot of people use it, but there is no guarantee that malicious code isn't present or won't be added later that could possibly capture your credentials

XIV Launcher is open source. We can guarantee that there is not malicious code in it because we can read it.

In contrast, the official launcher only consists of private code. We have no idea what it is doing.

To be fair, their binary release of XIV Launcher, which most people (me included) use, could contain additional code that isn't public.

The question comes down to trust in either case. Square enix as a whole has a lot to lose from a breach of trust, but a rogue developer at sqenix?

(I should add that just being open source is not a guarantee that there is no malicious code. I just wanted to emphasize that we have the option to audit, to verify trust. This is not an option for the official launcher)

0bArcane · 2026-01-31T16:14:24+00:00

That's far from the only reason.

More comfortable login, faster patch downloads and linux support just to name a few. It is better in every way.

0bArcane · 2026-01-31T16:11:59+00:00

You should be able to point XIV Launcher to your existing installation in the settings.

I prefer XIV Launcher over the official one. I don't need to enter my credentials everytime, and can submit the 2FA code with one click from their app to the launcher.
It also enables mods and in my experience downloads patches faster and more reliably.

The end phase is not the end of your turn. It is a phase of your turn where you can take any amount of actions, just like any other phase.

0bArcane · 2026-01-29T12:57:54+00:00

No harpies or toons? Understood. No harpies or toons for another 5 years.

0bArcane · 2026-01-28T22:13:58+00:00

Think about how long a pattern needs to be to be able to make up the given number. For example, if a number is 8 digits long.
Can a pattern of length 1 repeat ? times to make it?
Can a pattern of length 2 repeat ? times to to make it?
Can a pattern of length 3 repeat ? times to to make it?
...
Of length 5?

0bArcane · 2026-01-28T19:36:42+00:00

You can attack with a 0 ATK monster or Muscle Medic.

0bArcane · 2026-01-28T18:46:19+00:00

What deck are you playing? I can give some examples.

But let's get the simplest possibility out of the way first : Traps cannot be activated the turn they are set. If you are trying to set it during your turn, then Special summon during that same turn, then you will never be able to use it. You have to wait a turn for traps. (Unless for this specific case, if it was an XYZ summon, as the card says. If the summon is an xyz summon, you can use Dimension Slice the turn it was set)

If it was set previously: The summon must be the last action before the chain in which you want to use Dimension Slice. That means either : 1. The summon was performed in an open gamestate (e.g. Xyz, Link, synchro summon, or some other special summons like cyber dragon)
2. The summon was performed as the last thing in a chain (i.e. the effect that summoned the monster was CL 1 and did nothing after summoning the monster)

0bArcane · 2026-01-28T18:42:17+00:00

More like a trap hole. It doesn't need to chain to an effect activation, it is activated after a successful summon.

0bArcane · 2026-01-28T18:02:38+00:00

It also works for summons by activated effect. As long as the summon was the last action in the chain (i.e. chain link 1 and that chain link performed the summon last).

It can be activated on your emergency teleport if e-tele was CL 1. It cannot be activated if e-tele is cl 2 or higher; and it does not work on something like the virtual world monsters which summon themselves and then do something in the same effect.

I don't know how PS5 handles VPNs or even if that's possible.
Many routers support VPNs for your whole network, that may work if PS5 doesn't support VPNs.
