Yugioh: The only card game where you have to learn hundreds of effects with syntax-specific wording and some people can't count to 3.

I loved that moment when Coder said "It's calling time!" and started taking everybody's calls

Judge rules in your favour good judge Judge rules against you "Glad to see the judge lets people cheat" man some people are wild.

Watching situations like these is why I always stick to EDO and MD. Constantly getting into arguments with idiots that don't get the rules and refuse to acknowledge fault is such a chore. They can't really argue when the rules are hard coded and work automatically.

These videos make me appreciate automated simulators. I guess Dueling Book is still fine if you are playing with people you know, random people in that platform seem weird.

Coder it is time to update the judge call playlist

I needed my dosis of "Yu-Gi-Oh players refusing to think"

I had a guy like that (Balter "ruling") at the 6/18/23 Remote Duel regionals who couldn't understand why my Judge used discretion in giving a penalty instead of making it a PE-Major (It was the last match of the last round of the regional and they were already into their time extension), he appealed it, then try the "I don't understand", talk over me, and even threated to email Julia. So I gave him a UC-Minor for Rule Sharking. He tried claiming he was a judge and that he has duel some "big names". I told him his accolades don't mean anything to me, feel free to email Julia, and if he wants to continue arguing why his opponent got a PE-Minor (They both got one earlier in the match and he wanted to have his opponent's upgraded to a Severe or DQ) that I could upgrade his UC-Minor to a UC-Severe Disqualification. I rarely use my Authoritative Voice, I'm usually chill, laughing having fun kind of judge, but when you cross a line with me and refuse to listen, You get the "Dad is Mad" voice. A very firm, few decibels louder than normal but not quite the yelling stage of how loud.

Literal toddlers throwing a fit when they don't get their way. Funny stuff to see lmao

The ones where they concede even though it's fixable make me think maybe they were trying to cheat tbh because they thought they were losing anyway

Something like that ShadowMist call happened to me once. Opp activated DarkRulerNoMore on my Unchained board. Then in battle called a judge when I said my cards still activate in GY.

He could've said that cross negates the effect on field while balter negates the effect when the card leaves the field. Instead of just repeating "they aren't remotely the same" and "that's an old card".

I think Balter Blue wanted to know why Balter itself was different to this scenario and to answer blue if you are reading comments it is becausing when a monster is destroyed by battle and Balter's effect triggers the monster is considered already in the GY and no longer on the field when Bolter resolves his negate.

I die a little inside every time I see him use a comma instead of an apostrophe

Loved how you handled that guy who self snitched. What a joke.

"Also, he called me a ******** which is highly offensive." It's fine, he's deflecting. He's upset he can't count to 3.

but what if that shadow mist was destroyed by dark balter like yesterday, then it effects would be negated as it still was destroyed by balter as he remembers even when the card moves zones, which means moving to another games does not escape his wrath

With the archer issue (on the card itself) and to do with the confusion on the card rules, I believe the sacrifice is a cost(and can't be responded to), but old yugioh cards don't tend to be templated/worded clearly.

For Ruling at 10:12 Swords of revealing light. (I think Distant COder missed a very crucial detail). According to the chat box, luffy-senpai activated trunade on that turn which bounces swords of revealing light and activated it again. So, what happened... The swords of revealing light activates for up to 3rd opponent's end phase.The count activate during the opponent's end phase. Since Giant Trunade was activated, the Swords now is off the field and back to hand. Since luffy senpai activated the swords again, this would count as a new activation and the previous 2 turns from that swords won't apply. Therefore (now is turn 22 apparently), that "new" swords of revealing light would activate again 2 turns from now and will not be destroyed by end of turn 22 (which was opponent's turn) For more clarity, let me backtrack the turns based on the chat logs. turn 17: luffy turn activated swords of revealing light. turn 18: opponent turn swords count 1 turn 19: luffy turn turn 20: opponent turn swords count 2 turn 21: luffy turn (@9:48: luffy senpai: "I activate giant trunade and active again (assuming he activated the swords of revealing light again)) turn 22: opponent (@9:56 : "this is my end phase) swords count 1 (new count because new activattion of card) turn 23: luffy turn turn 24:opponent turn swords count 2 turn 25: luffy turn turn 26: opponent turn swords count 3 at end phase and is destroyed tldr: the player luffy senpai might be lying about activation of the trunade. If not, the sequence above is the correct one and the swords would not be destroyed.

You ruled wrong on the Swords of revealing light call.

First video of yours I've seen and honestly seems very cool you are a judge. Never knew all the stuff that happened in the background so it's cool to see how this all works.

the swords clip is wrong, unless swords is under a different errata swords stays active for three of the OPPONENT’S turns, so five turns total

It's always funny to see those people who you give the correct rulling/procedure and someone is like "Nope, I am having none of that." Like that guy who was against a Marincess player that had Iblee on their board saying that they have to use Iblee to special summon even tho Iblee just stops everything but Links.

"Considered a different card" is poor wording to anyone with less experience. You could have phrased it to say that the card in GY isn't affected by an on-field exclusive negation since it is now in a place Cross Keeper has no way to stop it.

Mans with the infinite sword of revealing is a time traveling duelist was the issue

Thank you for the hero ruling! I had two other very simple ruling issues with him and finally said no we will wait on this one xD Managed to win that one somehow

Dark Balter as the subject of a comparison in a modern format is so hilarious.

I think, that For clarification... The guys is not paying attention. Dark Valter negates the card its destroying. Because of Valters effect, its not gonna be activating the effect (effectively negating in the graveyard) On the other hand. Crosskeeper thing is negated on the field, so when it goes away, and like Judge said. "its considered a different card" By that it means "Its only negated while its on field" (im not am expert, just trying) So the thing to explain here is that those are 2 different types interaction. So the logic does not apply. A better compararion. Would potentially be Junk Synchron + Something like Synchro Fusionist. Synchro Fusionist is summoned by the effect of Junk synchron, thus, its negated. Then, you synchro summon for Junk Warrior. The effect of Synchro fusionist activates in the Graveyard as it was sent there for a synchro summon. Letting you add a Fusion card. Its able to resolve properly even if its effect was negated, because its only negated while on field, the negation wont follow it to the graveyRd cause it becomes another card. (or something like that)

Most of these judge calls can be simplified as the person in question not understanding yugioh problem solving card text

As a returning player, I'm confused about the negated effect situation as well. In this situation, its a monster on the field with a negated effect going to the graveyard. In the Balter situation, its a monster that gets destroying and has its effect negated going to the graveyard. In both situations, both monsters enter the graveyard with their effects negated, yet Shadow Mist's effect would still activate while the monster Balter destroyed wouldn't. If when they enter the graveyard they are considered different cards, why does one negate linger while the other doesn't?

Swords guy really hit you with the “nuh uh”

I think the first guy was malding cause he wanted to respond to the tributing? Which you cant lmao its like tributing for kaijus you can have 10 negates its not gonna do shit u less you have a summon lock

After i started working in a call centre, I can truly feel your pain

I cant imagine being in an irl tournament and dealing with this kinda nonsense, as a player or a judge 😅

I'm waiting for the day Coder is called for a ruling on Bishbaalkin

Instead of Balter, Living Fossil would be the closest comparison, and even then effects like Lonefire Blossom can solve once it left the field, unlike Veiler or Impermanence that states "Until the end of this turn"

First time watching your channel. Not a huge yugioh fan, i dabble casually now and then, but this was hugely entertaining to watch.

My God I love these judge calls!

You can tell he enjoys being a judge way too much lol

I sometimes forget you're an actual judge, which makes it better.

I'd say Tolarian Community College's addage of 'reading the card explains the card' but we all know how YGO players read

this whole video is why i like EDOPro / Project Ignus. it has all the rules built in - - - and counting - - - and turn times. searching only happens for valid cards - will not let you search if there isn't something valid to search.

I wish I had a judge like you back in the day Because a bad judge is the reason why I quit Is rank

One of the things I love and hate about YGO is that people have to know rulings for specific card interactions instead of having rules. So there's a difference between Skill Drain 'monsters on the field have their effects negated' and Imperm's 'Monster on the field has its effects negated' in regards to whether or not an on-field tribute-self-as-cost effect will be negated; you can tribute around Skill Drain because the effect isn't resolving while the monster is on the field, but you can't tribute around Imperm because the monster's effect activated on the field and is still considered from that monster despite being a new card in the GY. Also, it opens the door for massive disrespect like "Then you should've used Dark Balter the Terrible if you wanted Dark Balter's effect."

That first one's weird, like what does red want you to do there, zap the memories out of blue's head? Where they just pushing to try for a game win that blue gave them anyway?

Last Saturday I was playing against a darkworld player at locals and I swear, the judge had to spend the entire round at our table because the guy was constantly trying to pull shit. I can understand needing to be convinced that destroying a card in hand is different than discarding them. But he kept trying to activate none quick ignition effects during my turn, he wouldn't declare battlephase and jump to declaring an attack, and he was constantly pissed as if I was scumming him by pointing out the rules. My sole mistake, was that I forgot to correcte him when he didn't declare a target for an effect that needed targeting but I respond to it, so the judge just rolled us back to him picking a target, and when we were done the guy had the gall to complain that because of me the match got rerolled. I get not getting some rules, it's a complecated game, but many of those were both basic interactions anyone who has been playing for more than a month would have picked up, and apparently he's been playing for years.

Oh man... I just had some PTSD flashbacks of when I was a DN admin/judge.

Malicious afk is one of my favorite Farfa bans

if i absorb correctly summoned mirrorjade with infinity will mirrorjade clear the board at end phase?

Calmest goat player indeed

Should have Reminded those players to take a shower!

Wait was he not right with the sword unless i got the card rong but doenst giant trunate return al spell to the hand ans then he reactivate swords?

Man, counting to 3 is really hard.

So if you Imperm a normal summed Shadow Mist (for whatever reason), then it gets sent to the GY, they can still search? I'm not sure if i knew that either lol...

yeah dueling book is more for testing in person game with people you know personally because people are complete A-holes, I would LOVE to see someone sit across the table from me and act the way people do on dueling book.

Wait can you really not respond to the normal summon of a card with ring of destruction before they activate an effect? Ain't no way its like that in master duel

4:23 But op can trigger their traps on summon, can't they? That's before archer has any chance to activate. Or is this different in goat?

clean video, just need the bgm to be lower so I can hear coder please.

this is exactly why i don’t play dueling book i’ve played it in the past and people are just so extremely toxic and abuse the hell out of calling a judge i once beat someone and they offered a draw at the time i was younger and didn’t know what it meant to do that so i proceeded and he just left and said EZ like he actually won like bro it’s dueling book what are you competing for😂 idk how it is now but at the time it was only for simulation so it’s not like he gained anything from getting a draw

I don't get the 2nd one. He DID misplay, he did just desserts, just desserts, ring of destruction. Why did you let him redo the chain?

What is the website seen in the video?

4:47 Why did you let him reverse the gamestate and chain things in a more advantageous way for himself? He made a mistake in his chains and should have to live with that, no?

OK so Dark Ruler says Until the End of this turn..... when it SHOULD also say WHILE ON THE FIELD........

This is why people think us Yu-Gi-Oh players are illiterate.

You kinda did let that ring jd player to slide. Waaaaack

Every day i wish more and more that Konami would get off their ass and punish a COMPREHENSIVE RULE BOOK. That's the minimum i would expect from a TCG. Heck, the PSCT for the TCG is pretty awful, and nigh incomprehensible to new players, and even some veterans don't fully understand the advanced aspects. Just putting CONDITIONS COST EFFECT In clearly outlined segments would help so much in making it more clear to the average player, and a rule book to actually inform them how to play the game would be just dandy.

cause im curiouse, what game is this, i know its yugioh, but what website

so, balter negates the effect in graveyards

Why was priority a thing?

Can this be played on mobile?(and whatis the name?)

What are they playing on

I mean not many cards have including in gy now

YuGiOh players find reading difficult, how did we expect them to be able to correctly count up to 3?

ruled wrong on archer case

That guy has obviously NEVER seen BA; OF COURSE monsters summoned off of Tour Guide don't get their effs when they go to the GY.

Coder saying "if you choose not to understand" is frustrating, the guy was being a headass but I genuinely dont think he was being willfully ignorant

this Dueling book?

"Counting to 3 isn't that hard" it seems for some players it is. 😅

5:02 Dude, are you blind? That guy literally said chatting, not cheating. Of course, he did misspell it, but the correct word was chatting since he missed the letter "t." He's referring to people who are chatting on your stream. He knows who you are lol

Aren't the video games usually programmed to not allow major mistakes in the game such as misplayed chains?

2003 card me from 2004 Yu-Gi-Oh "wait what we had a good card?" Reality it's 2006

Wait, so I was gonna get into the whole thing and try to reason it out and see if I understood it, cause I'm an mtg guy not a yugioh your guy's cards are interesting with their effects though. Then, I just went and rtfc Dark Balter and its like... There's a text there that word for word "The effect of an Effect Monster destroyed by this monster in battle is negated." Just...it's right there the difference. Cross Keeper's wording seems (to an mtg player) obtuse but that's cause we don't have books on our cards but it SEEMS to only effect well effects that would be activated by entering or maybe pay to activate? I'm unsure. Technically with the wording of negate you should be able to pay the effect, try to activate and it just fails and counters itself. I'm sure that's not really what happens and I'd love to have someone explain that card to me better if they want. CK -> EM -> Pay the Cost to Activate (cause costs aren't effects) -> Game Checks sees CK's Effect -> Laughs and says no. I'm not sure if that's right but I don't know people that play so I figured I'd ask here.

Based kirby music

*No señor codificador, mi no entendiendo su idioma de las reglas*

Whats the name of the Game?

2:47 Ring and Just Desserts can be activated in response to the summon before the player have a chance to use the monster's effect since it doesn't activate on summon.

What is this game?

With the swords ruling its luffy hes nutorious for cheating

I thought these may be fake.till I saw you blame the dude for.your own mistake then I knew like a cokehead testing product this is genuine

8:21 math teacher be like

This is why I stopped playin Yugioh. LOVE the game, but I’m not gonna spend 45min of a 50min duel arguing over a children’s card game 😂

MST negates guys

Woo hoo!!!

Dark Balter really is Terrible

I hate playing vs Zazen, such and unpleasant human being

Nice Xbox collection 👌

Why ppl complain about cheater in yugioh 💀

I don't think DistantCoder can be an official judge. Lol. The way he describes the rules are very vague. On the next match, Cross Keeper vs Shadow Mist, what happened was... Shadow mist summoned on the field from the graveyard (negated effect due to Cross keeper's effect), then when that monster was destroyed by battle, the player argues that it won't activate the search eff of shadow mist from grave since his effect was negated due to Cross Keeper's effect. His arguement comes from a ruling from Dark Balter the Terrible in which if Balter destroys a monster by battle, it negates the effect (regardless of where the card goes afterwards). The problem is that the Cross Keeper card text does not state if the monster summoned negated effect "on the field only". You can send this card from your hand or field to the GY; Special Summon 1 "Elemental HERO" monster or 1 "Neo-Spacian" monster from your hand or GY, but negate its effects if Summoned from the GY. However, this kind of card texts only applies on the summoned monsters on the field and is not a permanent. In the player's argument, then does that mean since Shadow Mist is summoned by Cross Keeper, since the card text does not state "from the field..." like "egate its effects if Summoned from the GY WHILE ON THE FIELD." Does that mean the effect of shadow mist is negated permanently for the rest of the game regardless of where the shadow mist is? No. Therefore, this effect only applies on the summoned monsters on the board. Also, his argument about the Dark Balter, it only affects during that battle meaning from destruction to damage calculation OF THAT BATTLE. Completely different situations. Lastly, arguing "Dark Balter ruling does not apply because Dark Balter is an extremely old card" is actually where you see if a judge is a good one or not. There are other "old" rulings but it still applies up to this day because the rulings are based on the situation and not based on how old are the cards in question. TLDR: DistantCoder seems a bad judge and won't be a good judge BASED on this clips. I don't agree to some of his rulings and I don't understand why he does those rules.

hi coder

So if a Judge is needed for a game, that means the creator of the game have no idea what they are doing with all their Noob Cards.
