If you are having any troubles with card rulings and effects or anything about the game, Ask them here.

Sometimes, when you are dueling, you'll get into a situation wherein you and your opponent just don't know what to do because of certain rulings. If so, put your situations here and "we'll" try to clear things up for you Chibi

I'll try to edit this first post with the answers to any card ruling requests and I'll try my best to get the ruling for you (lolz)

Here are some of the rulings that I think needs clearing up:

Basic Gameplay:

Intermiate Gameplay:

Advanced Gameplay:

Expert Gamplay:

Missing the Timing:
Sometimes an optional effect can only be activated "when" a condition happens. In this case, you are only allowed to activate the effect when the activation condition being met was the last thing to happen in the game. If something else happened after the activation condition was met, then you have missed the timing, and cannot activate the optional effect.

Here are some examples:
For example, consider the following rulings:

If "Peten the Dark Clown" is Tributed for a Tribute Summon, the last thing that happened was that a monster was Summoned, so the effect of "Peten" does not activate.
This is because you first Tribute "Peten the Dark Clown" as a cost, and afterwards the other monster is successfully Tribute Summoned. The last thing to happen was not "Peten the Dark Clown" being sent to the Graveyard, so it misses the timing.

If "Peten the Dark Clown" is Tributed for "Mystik Wok" or "Cannon Soldier", the last thing that happened was that those effects resolved, so the effect of "Peten" does not activate.
This is because you first Tribute "Peten the Dark Clown" as a cost, and afterwards "Mystik Wok" resolves and increases your Life Points. The last thing to happen was not "Peten the Dark Clown" being Tributed, so "Peten the Dark Clown" misses the timing.

When you activate a new Field Spell while you control a Face-up Geartown, then the last thing that would happen would be the resolution of the new field spell. Geartown lets you choose to special summon an Ancient Gear monster when it is destroyed and sent to the graveyard but since it wasn't the last thing that happened, Geartown's effect misses the timing, therefore you can't summon and Ancient Gear monster.

Priority
Priority can be defined as "A player's 'right' to be able to activate his/her effect, ensuring its spot on chain link 1. Priority does not allow players to automatically activate and resolve effects without a chain; it simply assures a card's activation (not resolution), and guarantees a place on chain link 1. How the chain resolves is up to the players.

Priority tells you who can activate an effect at any certain point in the game. Note that cards never have priority; it is the players who have priority. The Turn Player always starts with priority.

Examples:
Player A has a face-up "D.D. Warrior Lady". He sets a face-down "Bottomless Trap Hole", and ends his turn.

Player B Special Summons "Chaos Sorcerer".

Player B, now being the turn player, says he wishes to retain his priority to activate the effect of "Chaos Sorcerer". "Chaos Sorcerer"'s Ignition Effect then activates, targeting "D.D. Warrior Lady". "Chaos Sorcerer"'s effect is now Chain Link 1. Player A then activates his "Bottomless Trap Hole", since the Special Summon of "Chaos Sorcerer" was the last action to have resolved on the field. "Bottomless Trap Hole" is now Chain Link 2.

The chain now resolves in reverse:

Chain Link 2: "Bottomless Trap Hole" resolves. "Chaos Sorcerer" is destroyed, and removed from play.
Chain Link 1: "Chaos Sorcerer"'s effect resolves. "D.D. Warrior Lady" is now removed from play.
Always remember that Monster Effects, unless they specify otherwise, can have their effects resolved without being present on the field.

Card Rulings:

Light and Darkness Dragon:

Arrow "Light and Darkness Dragon" will also negate the effect of a monster which activates in the hand. The monster will not be sent to the Graveyard.
->If the effect of "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness" is negated, then its effect to Special Summon itself cannot be activated again, unless you are receiving Damage for a second time.
->If "Kuriboh" or "Thunder Dragon" has its effect negated by "Light and Darkness Dragon", then it was discarded as a cost, so it does not return to the hand.

that's all for now O_o

Well the ruleing is kinda on the wiki page :/ but you can keep this up.
Hopefully though when DS makes the rulings and what not in the Official Rules Of Dueling area, we might be able to organize card rulings into that area as well Smile

Thanks Very Happy

so since ur good at rulings, here's my question:

If you used Dandylion as a Synchro Material for Black Rose Dragon, then you use it's effect to nuke the field, do you still get the fluff tokens? Chibi

maybe I should add this to the first post so everyone can see Very Happy

yes, since Black rose is summoned you can then activate its effect; when dandylion's effect goes off, the dragon is already gone

since Grand Mole's effect is optional and Catastor's isn't Catastor's effect will automatically become chain link 1 and grand mole's effect will become chain link 2. The chain will resolve backwards bouncing both monsters to the hand (Catastor to the extra deck) and causing Catastor's effect to fizzle.

they would both die:
the attacking catastor's effect would activate, then the second one would cause a chain link 2
resolving backwards, Catastor 1 would blow up then so would Catastor 2 (because monster effects can resolve while they are dead)
