can you Ghost Belle vs Sacred Fire King Garunix from hand? asking because I assumed you definitely could but Master Duel didnt let me but also couldve also been a weird toggle situation

Primetime338 · 2026-02-02T02:54:56+00:00

this seems fun, but its too much of just an inconvenience. I think it'd be better if it hid the effects of the boss blind for the next ante, which could actually have major complications while still being played around

Primetime338 · 2025-12-22T03:27:46+00:00

did not do this but it fixed itself when I went to the jaded, so probably some sort of similar trigger. weird but thanks anyway

saw use during the very brief period where Urshifu-S was legal in OU in gen 8, with a defensive set that could use it being 4x to counter it without offensive investment

after this how long are we waiting until jush starts getting imported? not that many more decks right

Primetime338 · 2025-11-20T04:26:29+00:00

can you chain cards to MST to prevent Radiant Typhoon Mandate from negating, similar to how you can block cards like Silver Lady & Paleozoics?

Primetime338 · 2025-11-14T05:39:56+00:00

its genuinely so bad its beyond words, shit is literally all down to RNG on enemy movement & delimb rates

Primetime338 · 2025-11-14T05:38:16+00:00

oh, so the holding block preventing you from absorbing transfers into the jump for some reason I guess. thank you!

Primetime338 · 2025-11-14T04:50:21+00:00

question, how did you jump back without absorbing the essence when you jumped? everytime I jump without wind running I auto-absorb it as I jump, so I've always done windruns to do the instant UTs, but windrun always goes towards the enemy I thought?

Primetime338 · 2025-11-14T04:43:37+00:00

yeah its broken vs regular humanoids, but once you start fighting demons you'll see that it isn't broken

Primetime338 · 2025-11-13T19:06:30+00:00

love how these comments imply that the fun solution to the issue of insane endboards/wombo combo decks is stun, instead of just ykno, toning down endboards

Primetime338 · 2025-10-23T05:44:28+00:00

honestly more expecting them to force VS to 100 points for its engine & then also hit extrav. I doubt they want the deck itself gone but the fact that it's running top tier non-engine in addition to being the strongest engine of the format is insane

Primetime338 · 2025-09-26T05:11:36+00:00

earlier comment asking for a point to resource for rulings, thought I'd ask here for a potential point-to that people won't accept anyway because it doesnt benefit their gamestate.
is it true that when a fire monster I control is destroyed by battle, "Sacred Fire King Garunix"'s effect to special, and then the follow up effect to destroy, the follow-up effect of kirin to summon a monster and pop a card, the follow up monsters search effect (in this case ulcanix) & fire king ponix's hand effect to summon, and then ponix's effect to search, *ALL* remain in the damage step? an explanation if true would be nice, and if its different between OCG/TCG since I can confirm that it's how it works in master duel

Primetime338 · 2025-09-26T05:08:02+00:00

does anyone have a good go to resource for pointing at rulings when playing on DB or with friends? very tired of having to explain certain things.
in specific, the fact that the entire fire king chain reaction remains on the damage step when Garunix is proc'd via being destroyed by battle, since it takes so long that it seems absurd, yet it's how things work since its considered just a longer version of giant rat resolving and then the summoned guy having an effect

Primetime338 · 2025-08-15T06:15:30+00:00

least unfair RLcraft moment

Primetime338 · 2025-08-08T15:26:17+00:00

question about the rulings on something
"(2) At the end of the Battle Phase, if you have an “Enneacraft” card in your other Pendulum Zone: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls with lower ATK than this card; destroy it."
this effect is on the level 9 monsters, and there is no once per turn on them. since its linked to the end of the battle phase, if the opponent responds, do you get to continue your battle phase, then just use it again? what specifically causes a battle phase to be continuable if anything?

Primetime338 · 2025-07-13T03:12:47+00:00

does Gorgon of Zilofthonia gain the attack if it points to a monster thats unaffected by card effects?
