Fun facts (Its ruling actually)


Chain Disappearance
Q:融合モンスター・シンクロモンスター・エクシーズモンスターの特殊召喚に対し発動した場合エクストラデッキのカードを除外しますか?
A:はい、除外されます。(11/04/14)
Yes, you will banish monsters from your extra deck if you are banishing an exceed, fusion or synchro monster. Because it says deck instead of main deck. So you can chain disappearance gantetsu/formula, and say good bye to those in extra deck too.



Look at corridor, it states main deck now lolz...

このカードの誘発効果にチェーンして、効果解決時に攻撃力を1400よりも高くするか裏側表示にすれば、モンスター効果は条件を満たせず破壊効果を回避できる。
また、効果の処理時にこのカードがフィールドを離れたり、裏側表示に変更された場合も効果は不発となる。

Also, kageki and command knight wont get destroyed by king tiger wanghu is a trigger effect thus when kageki/command knight effect resolves, its attack becomes more than 1400 and thus it won't get destroyed.

Musakani Magatama




After the hype on stardust being unable to negate horus lv8 which most probably Shi En too, I went to re-read magatama's ruling which I am not clear about the part whereby stardust cannot be negated by magatama. Let's recap!

Q:《ならず者傭兵部隊》の効果に対して発動された「無効にして破壊する」とある《スターダスト・ドラゴン》やカウンター罠に対して発動できますか?
A:テキストに破壊すると記載されてあっても、墓地や除外されているカードに対して実際に破壊する効果処理を行う事ができない為、チェーンをして《六尺瓊勾玉》を発動する事はできません。(10/11/15)
Basically it's asking if you used exiled force to destroy stardust, and opponent used stardust effect to negate, can u negate it with magatama?
A: No. Text after I clarified: When stardust negates exiled forces, because exiled is already in the graveyard, it cannot be destroyed but will still be negated. since stardust didn't destroy exiled, magatama cannot be activated.

Q:《ライトニング・ボルテックス》に対して発動された「無効にして破壊する」とある《スターダスト・ドラゴン》やカウンター罠に対して発動できますか?
A:はい、できます。(10/11/13)
If you used lightning vortex on stardust and it negates with it, can u magatama?
A: Yes.

Speaking of exiled force... Okie change exiled force into Hand of the six samurai...

When hand release itself, and stardust negate hand, you cannot negate with magatama... Same applies to hand Vs SDD Vs SDD

But when hand releases another six samurai to destroy stardust, you CAN negate with magatama.

And for the part where people said you cannot magatama fortress, you CAN negate it with magatama.

Thanks to DSummon from DuelingDays and Akira from DuelistCodex for the translation and clarification stuffs.

Curtains closed for qualifiers...

Finally the 4 qualifiers have ended... For now, we will just wait for our nats itself...
Currently, these are the people and decks who got in:
1.Daniel, grave bf
2.Me, six samurai
3.XM, machina gadget
4.William, grave bf

I was thinking for the past few weeks, all the decks used to qualify are different, thus I am predicting today will be a different deck qualifying. In the end, it's another grave bf... Haiz... Anyway, congrats to William who qualify for the last quantity! :D...

Start Second
Game 1: I trishula-ed his earth. And he summoned venus and special summoned 3 balls, I was thinking I might survive this turn since he got no tuner. But then I totally forgot the existance of Birdman in agent and then he trishula me back and a few turns I died.

Game 2: Random beatdown until he died since he activated gozen. Tough match

Game 3: He started with 2 set cards. Then my turn i united summon kagemusha and ss kizan, he mst my united away. I sync for balkion and attack. During his turn he dark hole me and reborn my balkion. I had to bottomless him since I had a set double edge and he had 3 cards in grave. He negated my bottomless and then next turn I double edge taking back kizan and kagemusha, he bottomless my kizan, I then summon kageki and trunade his remaining m/t and synchro into catastor to attack. He take a few turns of damage until manage to clear it.

Match 5: Vs. Jun Jie, Machina Gadget - OO
Start Second
Game 1: Shien + DEST
Game 2: Yaichi and friends clear the back row.

And then I proceed to top 8~~
Top 8: Vs. Vishal, Machina Gadget - OXO
Start Second
Game 1: Opening with shien and everything big and beat him to death

Game 2: He opened gozen + he summon gearframe, then I think because he is nervous, he accidently threw out fortress, I wanted to not let him reverse because I am in the bad situation currently, but then I just let it go, with abit of zzz feeling. And then I died.

Game 3: I start with shien , grandmaster and 2 DEST behind. He summoned gearframe special summon fortress set 3 card and ended. I activated the first double edge, taking back kageki and kagemusha, he chain disappeared my kagemusha, I let it pass. Then I summoned kageki special summon yaichi attempting to destroy his facedown, he chained the facedown which was gozen! I negated it and then xyz-ed void space sea dragon levaiel and activate its effect to take back kagemusha. I synchro the 2nd shien and suicide on gearframe using levaiel and then double shien and grandmaster attack. Then I chain the 2nd DEST and he conceded because his last backrow was seven tools. and after taking shien x2 and grandmaster, he was left with only 900 life points.

Top 4: Vs. Baha again
We already shared so he let me go up to fight since both of us will be fighting machina gadget no matter what.

Finals: Vs. Jun Jie again, Machina Gadget - XX
Start Second
Game 1: He summoned gearframe and search for fortress and ended without any backrow. So now is my chance to otk. But I did not draw enough monsters to do so, thus I synchro shien and special summoned 2 kizan to beat. And xyz-ed into steelswarm roach and set my only mst. I had to do this way since the only way to protect me is using roach. During his turn, smashing ground I negate, Dark hole + Trunade, Showed me another orange boy + fortress and limit break.

Game 2: I got attacked by cyber and then a few turns later I died.

Conclusion: 2nd... Got a stardust holo as prize... Haiz failed to get my 3rd pot to go with my other 2... I killed 2 of six samurai greatest enemy! Maybe becos of that I felt overconfidence with my last match and then died.

DW~~~

And so, YES its a cost to bounce a DW back to hand. It works like machina fortress I guess.
Q:それぞれの効果分類は何ですか?
A:自身を特殊召喚する効果はコストとして暗黒界を手札に戻しますが特に効果分類はなく、チェーンに乗りません(召喚ルール効果)(11/06/18)

And lol at the part where u can oppress grapha which is discarded by opponent's card effect. Meaning even the destruction effect also gets negated.
Q:相手によって捨てられた時、《王宮の弾圧》や《神の警告》で無効にできますか?
A:相手によって捨てられた時に発動した破壊する効果に対して発動できます。(11/06/18)

Snow can get oppressed too
Q:相手によって捨てられた時、2つ目の効果を使うか使わないかに関わらず《王宮の弾圧》や《神の警告》で無効にできますか?
A:特殊召喚する処理は行う場合なら、サーチする効果に対して発動できます。(11/06/18)

And lastly, Gate RFG is a cost
Q:除外はコストですか?
A:はい、そうです。(11/06/18)

Lol so now all the boss card in SD can get oppressed... There's none of it that can run away from its fate currently... The LOL part about dark world now is even its "Stratos" ability monster can be oppressed... lolz

Grapha

Snow

Gate

Void space sea dragon levaiel

Reading japanese blog and found out that they have all also put levaiel in extra deck of six samurai. One of their match was the player's kagemusha got chain disappearance-ed. He then exceed for levaiel and special summons back kagemusha an sync into Shi en. =D strong indeed... Lol... Suddenly banishing effect feels so unsafe.

Daigusta Phoenix

Recently there's a deck named "Bolt Phoenix" which got 2nd place in a team tourney in japan. Normally when I look at japan's deck, the same deck names will appear frequently, so frequent until I can automatically know the deck. Until I read upon bolt phoenix... haha...



Daigusta Phoenix
Wind/RANK 2/Effect-Xyz/1500/1200
2 Level 2 monsters
Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to select 1 face-up WIND monster you control. That monster can attack twice during this turn's Battle Phase.


What can this do?
To call this out, u will need 2 level 2 monster which in this case is bolt hedgehog and plaguespreader zombie. And then call 3 of this out each activating its effect to target itself, you will make an OTK from the direct attacks. Each Phoenix deals 3k damage bringing a total of 9k damage.





So how do u get all this thing to field?
Since Quillbolt Hedgehog is a machine, this deck uses future fusion to declare Chimeratech Overdragon and then throw 3 of the quillbolts to grave.





For plaguespreader simply use the effect of Armageddon Knight or foolish burial.





After Xyz-ing the 3 phoenix, you can also call out Gachi Gachi Gantetsu to boost the phoenixes' attacks and do a little bit of damage with it too.



Since this deck have Stardust Dragon and Mist Wurm in the extra deck, they can do the same job too!





So who can say wind is the weakest attributes now? lol
