This Quiz Is evey ruling nightmare!! Imagine a YCS where everything is at this level! Thanks for challenging me :D

Ah, my favorite deck/archetype. *Damage Step*

I want to see a "does distant coder know rulings" with like a head judge asking the ruling questions but who's gonna make harder questions than you? 🤣

Honestly that a Monster looses its continous effects but stays on the field just proves many YGO Rulings are stoopid

Cimo, Gage, MBT, etc... : Professor, I'm ready for the test. Prof. Coder: Here you go, if you study and read the question carefully, you should be able to pass the test. Tombox: Professor, I'm ready for the test. Prof. Coder: Given you have 5 oranges and 5 apples, calculate the mass of the sun and explain quantum physics

pls make "does distant know inherent and unclasified negate rullings" for the lols

As with every episode, I request Lantern himself to be quizzed in the hardest and most diabolical way possible

10:51 - This ruling actually comes up for Sylvans, believe it or not. When Masked HERO Anki attacks into Sylvan Komushroomo, and Komushroomo excavates a Marshalleaf and a Peaskeeper, Marshalleaf and Peaskeeper activate on the same Chain during "after Damage Calculation" and fully resolve to destroy Anki and revive a Lv4 or lower Sylvan during "after Damage Calculation". Since Anki is destroyed before we leave "after Damage Calculation", it does not make it to "end of the Damage Step" in time to activate its search effect. Then, once we reach "end of the Damage Step", Komushroomo goes to the GY due to it being destroyed by battle.

Fiendish Rhino bleeding out on the field. BAa: That boy ain’t ri-(kaboom) Other BA: Hey what’s goi-(kabooms) Fiendish Rhino continues to bleed out. Fiendish Rhino: This is the worst chest wound… ever… Fiendish Rhino dies right after a third BA appears and explodes.

I knew Dummy Golem question because of Parasite Paracide. Basically the same effect. Doesn't stay on the field it doesn't go to the deck

I don't know how you go from this, this is just peak Ruling Quiz right here. I hope you'd invite Tombox again some time later.

He’s not gonna tell us what that ruling was that he wanted his friend to get appealed, is he?

what about an episode, where Tombox and some others put together a ruling quiz, you have to answer for a change? some very hard stuff with atk modifiers, damage step etc...

I want one of these with official judge Josh Bovarnick. Great guy and one of the smartest judges I know

Inherent fizzle.

I will keep asking for hardleg on crystrons!

man, coming from magic, this video feels like trying to decipher spaghetti code, even though magic has it's good fair share too.

I truly enjoyed this I would love to see a judge call series between the two of you, iv been watching tomboy for years now and I love the energy you give off distantcoder

Holy moly this was a hard one…

I've learned some cool stuff on these videos

Its crazy that the damage negation situation #2 isnt covered in damage step official rulings. It would be super easy to just officially update the rules so that all effects that reduce damage taken occur just before applying the damage., with nothing else happening in between. ... or something to that effect

Cimo knows this one pretty well

I love this series. I learn so many rulings from this series and I want to learn more.

What's the story behind why DC isn't an official Judge anymore?

Seeing KingScarlet on here with appliancers would be a grand old time :)

That assembled nightingale ruling would become super relevant shortly after.

Today I learned that this Fiendish Ruling makes B.A. even worse then they currently are ._. Exactly what they needed

Amazing ruling quiz once more, I feel like I get smarter every time I watch your videos. Keep up the good work.

I would like to preface this comment by saying: You're an amazing person for having videos like this and shedding light on some very interesting interactions. None of what I'm about to say about Konami reflects on you and the content you provide. I'd also like to note that I've been a YGO player for roughly 11 years, and a judge for 8 of those years. So I'm not saying this from an ill-informed mindset. Konami's "Judge Program" is an absolute joke, as well as how the company is broken up into 3 main regions. When TomBox had to preface his answer with "Always double check with the HJ, just in case" it infuriated me. There should not be a card game that has a competitive scene with prizes, that does not have a dedicated Comprehensive Rules Book, nor standardized rulings in all 3 regions the game is played. Rulings being different between areas is asinine and should not be a thing. Japan rulings should be law and there needs to be dedicated team to making and share rulings with the masses. There should be no discrepancy, no ruling changes, etc between events. PSCT is fantastic step in the right direction, but it surely not enough. We need those Comp Rules, dedicated rules on the database, and all cards on the database to be updated with PSCT without the need for a reprint. Also the fact that the majority of Judges are not paid and expected to volunteer their time for these 12-16 hour events is pretty ludicrous. Getting product does not count and should not be acceptable as compensation for the amount of time that judges devote to helping host these tournaments and keeping the players happy. Other games that host FREE events pay their judges well over minimum wage, and the fact that one of the "Big 3" won't pay the majority of judges is just crazy to me. I apologize for bringing negativity to your otherwise great video, but more light needs to be shed on how Judging in YGO works and it needs to be changed.

There's only 2 things poorly designed about yugioh: Missing timing. And the fucking damage step 🤣

Love these videos. You guys are awesome. Learn so much from the both of you guys.

coder on the blue eyes malefic one, you forgot to banish a blue eyes from the deck as it must be summoned properly from the hand before decoy could use its effect to special it.

The ridiculous interaction in #3 is why I love the complexity of yugioh, even when I am constantly doing so much wrong.

I’ve been waiting for this one, two smart ass players 💯💪🏽

If you play Duel Links you know the last ruling haha

I guess the War Rock question right on the basis of something like Flame Wingman, if you attack a FLIP effect monster like Man Eater Bug or Penguin Solider, the burn effect won't trigger if Wingman is Poped or returned to the extra deck.

I would love to try one of these quizzes honestly, I am fairly confident in my rulings for cards and interactions. I technically got 7 out of 8 for this quiz, I was happily surprised. The Rhino one got me, and I got the Phoenix Codetalker one right but for the wrong reason. Love these videos!

such a cool video. so much to learn. great enyoment.

This was an amazing episode....I think there should be another round with TOMMMMMMMMMMMBOX!

Attack with Sirocco.....Damage step?

This video made me want to give every judge a hug.

Amazing! Love tom box! I was hoping he would be the one to get all 8 correct 🤷‍♂️ Coder I love your channel and your rruling videos!!! Thanks for more amazing content!!!

Can you bring Ruxin34 on this show? He needs to learn some yugioh judging by his auction series performance

i definitely did not have a fucking clue that a monster's continuous effect(s) stopped applying upon its being marked for destruction

11:35 BEST ARCHETYPE WAR ROCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

I love that a video testing an official judge about game mechanics exists for a *children's card game*

I was born for the damage step. It's the fine line that separates boys from real duelist's.

When you open yt and a new coder video is on :)

"Omega gangster mode" Tombox - 2021

Yay, Coder finally answered my Damage Calc comments using War Rocks!

So, why would I need to ask the head judge on something like the Lyrilusc ruling. There is a clear order of sequencing, why would it get ruled on the opposite of that order?

It’s a surprise these haven’t been called “Coder’s Questions”

I’ve watched this video at least 5 times. Please bring him back for a sequel!

this episode was actually extremely funny

This is indeed the bane of yugioh judges. Well ladies and Gentlemen welcome to yugioh

Hardleg Gaming with Crystrons

Then again, TOMBOX also said UCT cannot attack all monsters your opponent controls, once each. Despite the card actually saying so. So not surprised...

Does Decoy Dragon's effect actually skip forward to damage calc after changing the attack target? Could you still activate effects at the start of damage step?

Daaamm nice episode. U gotta give him a second chance in season 2 to set a unbeatable record! Hrvat je tat

I knew the dummy golem question because otherwise it would have been one of the best flip monsters at the time of its release

Quick question for ruling vid or anyone who may know. With Piercing the Darkness. Hypothetically.. Can I target it to a blue eyes twin burst, and say my opponent has 2 blue eyes on the field. Can I attack the first for 6K, and then use Twins effect to attack another monster and attack it for 9K? Or would it still only attack for 6K? The once per turn has me messed up with twins effect.

Great vid

He's out here tripping up Judges!!! This game is hard!

What about a successfuly flip summoned slate warrior choosing to attack obelisk the tormentor. Opponent, in his confusion, doesnt stop the choice to.attack...can you react to your own shift to battle step to activate metalmorph to defeat the obelisk in the damage calculation? And can your opponent use any trap or instant on the metalmorph to prevent its effect?

In the guru scenario, If guru was not once per turn, and was originally facedown. Could you get 2 searches?

Question I am a new player: I have a crystal wing synchro dragon and attack a facedown wall of illusion, can I negate the effect and destroy it or the or will it return crystal wing to the extra deck?

For the shuntendoji part since we were in the damage step , the ogre was in attack before so why don't we take his attack for the damage ? I thougt when you are in damage step the atk/def stats are " locked " if there is no effect of modification of stats

The first ruling fizzlet good.

Soo question, Does Decoy ignore summoning conditions? Because if not then wouldn't Q6 actually be, Decoy activates, resolves without effect because of the card it targets being unable to be summoned? Unless we're under the assumption that M-BEWD was properly summoned

idk if that question should be counted as 0.5 because he gave correct result about the stuff happen to the cards on the field. He didn't know about what is in the deck so he can't tell if Ba gonna summon Cir or what.

For the Guru question, let's say that his effect is not "Once per turn", can you trigger his effect twice?

Does malefic blue eyes not need to be first special summon by banishing a blue eyes in order to be special summon to field? Otherwise there would be no legal target for decoy dragon?

So that of the guru situation with avermax, if you have final battle set can you then activate the final battle boosting its atk/defence be equal to the combined atk/def?

Damage step lol man is really starting on legendary difficulty

I got the lyrilusc and shs ones right pog! 💪

I tried doing a quiz along and got absolutely clapped

This was awesome! But who got their channel points? belivers or doubters?

if my opponent attacks into my shaddoll dragon with draco future if i activate dragon eff to bounce and my opponent negs with future does he still take or does it get sent to grave

Um, for scenario 6, how is the decoy dragon summoning malefic blue-eyes? Decoy doesn't ignore summoning conditions.

can INFERNO RECKLESS SUMMON be activated in the damage step/battle phase

I like the last quesion... but I assumed the question was gonna ask him to finish the damage step after Earthquake flipped up. I didn't think for even a second that Earthquake would be allowed to cause all this during the damage step after being flipped up by an attack. This is practically damage calc right now.

Still waiting for Coder to jebait everybody "unfortunately you are.... Correct :^)"

Hey Coder, a question about the Guru's question in the vídeo, the flip effect of Guru is trigger twice in that scenario?

21:00 Why is Decoy Dragon who doesn't ignore summoning conditions allowed to summon a monster who has the text "Must first be summoned" ? I don't get it

Why does Rhino stop applying before it leaves the field? Is it to fix some other ruling issues?

I dont get the super heavy shogun ability, it did not attack while in defense. and the effect says if it does so it should only apply if it attacked while in defense

That BA ruling with rhino I dont remember that

lets goo finally we got tombox

With the last question correct me if im wrong but the earthquake giant shouldn't even be able to activate its eff to change the super heavy to defense. There is no legal target on the field to change its battle position due to final attack orders or is there something im missing there?

You need to do an April Fool’s episode with ‘Last Turn’ rulings questions.

Your videos are amazing

DistantCoder: Alright this time its a damage step video Cimo: DAMAGE STEP DistantCoder: Did i just get kalut'd

Hey coder, don't know if this has been asked, but are you able to tribute an unaffected monster for cost with a card like altergeist memorygant while lair of darkness is on field?

17:50 I'm a bit surprised with this ruling since it goes against p.41 of the rulebook on the damage step, and there doesn't seem to be any special "card text vs rules" shenanigans going on. It reads: "You can only activate Counter Trap Cards, or cards with effects that directly change a monster’s ATK or DEF. Also, these cards can only be activated up until the start of damage calculation" Here using the monster's Quick Effect or using Book of Moon in the damage step is not possible, even less so during damage calculation.

Great Video as always!! Ruling Question: Can i banish Swordsoul Blackout with Crossout Designator and use the banish Effect of Blackout to generate a Token? Please help me in this Ruling 😅

18:00 would flip effects reactivate if so? Could man eater bug destroy 2 cards from a single battle?

the hell is this "final attack order Lila combo"

I was really hoping for a question that had Pole Position.

I didnt know a single one of these lol

So when do we see Tombox's Revenge? Also I play War Rocks and got that wrong. Honestly I don't think I can play War Rocks outside of an automatic simulator. Battle Phase interactions are rough with that archetype.
