These days that card is nearly useless but back in the Chaos era (when flip monsters ran rampant) it was one of the best techs in the game.

It's not great against ghostricks, but it's pretty good against dolls, since dolls are all flip monsters. Bait them into setting something with falco, then go to town.

People used crossout more when Shaddolls first popped up. Nowadays, the fusions are considered the bigger threat, so De-Fusion is a common side-deck card (they won't get back their materials, since Shaddolls don't use specific cards for the fusion.)

It's actually because de-fusion says

then, if all the Fusion Material Monsters that were used for its Fusion Summon are in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon all of them.

So if you're targeting your opponent's monster, the materials were never going to be in your graveyard.

I faced a Cyber Dragon deck with my own a bit after my club did a mirror match tourney. He used Super Poly and fused using exclusively my monsters. I cut him off at the pass with a De-Fusion and got the cards back.

Yes, but only if you only used your own monsters. Fortress dragon is good because it'll eat your opponent's machines as well. If you de-fuse it and not all of the materials are in your graveyard, you're hosed.

The idea of a Worlds for YGO is increasingly grower stupider and stupider to me.

We have two separate banlists with two separate cardpools, and two separate lists of rulings for the game. OCG and TCG are essentially two entirely different games. Trying to mash all of that together into one format for Worlds just doesn't seem right, you know?

They're phasing out OCG exclusives with DOCS, where there are only 5, compared to the standard 10. Add to that that TCG mainsets are going to 100 to mop up the missing OCG cards, and the fact that TCG banlists are now "When we feel like it", it looks like they're trying to get everything on the same page.
Or at least, that's what my rose tinted glasses tell me.

They're phasing out OCG exclusives in the main sets, but OCG still gets a ton of promos that take forever to make it to the TCG. There's Korean exclusives and TCG exclusives, too.

Most Japanese Exclusives are Legacy Support for existing Archetypes, such as Elemental Hero Blazeman, Ghostrick Socuteboss (Succubus),and Chronomaly Nebra Disk, which we got almost 2 years later, and Chronomaly missed its chance to be an actual competitive deck (Chronomaly Artifacts were the best deck in the OCG for a period of time), whereas the Korean Exclusives are them doing cool things with original cards, and not so cool things with the "Lovecraft" Archetype(Combined Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz archetype that uses each other, though really Noden (Or Elder Entity Norden as he is going to be called here) is the really busted one. Note even because he makes instant fusion an instant Rank 4; Rater it's because his effect goes off whenever he is summoned, allowing for you to abuse and spam his effect for some crazy FTK/OTKs.

D/D is pretty much an OCG exclusive archetype at this point. TCG is (finally) getting a couple of their cards when CORE hits in a couple weeks, but not enough to actually do anything with.

Not really, Frog Monarch's always been a pretty decent deck, it's just not broken, and to make it in Yu-Gi-Ohs Meta you must be broken.

Speaking of which, YGOPro has updated with the banlist and newest cards. So that's good for messing around with.

Oh I thought you couldn't de-fuse Fortress Dragon because it's not a fusion summon but that shows what I know :(. Then I re-read De-fusion.

What does De-fusion do with Masked HEROes then? Does it retrieve whatever was mask changed into that hero?

No, because that hero is in the Extra deck, not the grave.

quote:

EDIT: Ugh, scratch that. The answer is that the Masked Heroes aren't Fusion summoned.

"Masked HERO Goka" can be targeted by "De-Fusion". In that case, "Masked HERO Goka" is returned to the Extra Deck, but "if all the Fusion Material Monsters that were used for its Fusion Summon are in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon all of them." is not applied. (The monster targeted by "Mask Change" is not a Fusion Material Monster.)[7]

Look at the important words there. "Fusion Material Monsters"

The Masked Heroes have no Fusion Material Monsters, ergo, they have nothing to target when hit with Defusion and simply die. Key words are also "Your Graveyard". So like Lis said, you cannot get your monsters back if you Fortressed with your opponents monster. An Instant Fusion'd Fusion Monster also doesn't summon anything when De-Fusioned, because there was no material used.

So I got to try out the Kozmos in YGOPro and they're pretty nuts.

Farmgirl can get out Goodwitch, and they can activate their effects during the battle phase. Also, a fun combo I got off:
My Serene Psychic Witch died, so I used her to summon a Farmgirl. During my standby phase, when Farmgirl was summoned, the opponent hit it with Bottomless. I chained Farmgirl's effect, summoning Forerunner, and it gave me the 1000 Life Points. Then I used Kozmotown to bring Farmgirl back to my hand and summoned her again.

Yeah I get that but the part I don't get is what follows

quote:

Target 1 face-up Fusion Monster on the field; shuffle that target into the Extra Deck, then, if all the Fusion Material Monsters that were used for its Fusion Summon are in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon all of them.

So fortress dragon -is- a fusion summon? I guess I always assumed contact fusions were with cards on your side of the field or something like with GB's, RB's, and Neos but I always assumed Fortress Dragon was just a thing you special summoned with the fusion frame and not a "fusion summon" v:shobon:v.

(Also contact fusions dont dump the components into your yard anyway so de-fusion doesn't really come up as anything but removal against them).

The Damage step.
Seven substeps.
1) start of the damage step, apply continuous effects
2) Flip the opposing monster face up, if it's face down. Flip effects don't happen yet (?), but continuous effects on the flipped monster do.
3) Things that happen "before damage calculation" happen here. Things that happen when a card is flipped face up by an attack happen here
4) Damage calculation. Things behave differently here than any other time of the damage step. Effects that say "during damage calculation" and things that negate them happen here. After this point, monsters destroyed by battle are considered destroyed for things that say to target monsters on field.
5) Damage actually happens. Things that selfdestruct are now considered face up on field to selfdestruct.
6) Flip effects happen. Things that happen "after damage calculation" happen.
7) Destroyed monsters are sent to the grave. Effects that happen when a monster "is destroyed by battle" happen now.

The holy grail of arcane bullshit, the damage step!

The only step you can't have multiple chains in is 4. The only effects that can be activated in substep 4 are things that say "during damage calculation" and things that negate those effects.

It's important because things like penguin soldier can return monsters on field to hand. If it's destroyed, of course you can't return it to hand.

That's right there in the rulebook, I'm pretty sure. Synchro/Fusion/Ritual/Xyz monsters can't be special summoned from the Grave or Banished zones unless they've been properly summoned by their summon method first.

A LOT of things in the game would be better understood by people if they actually read the rulebook.

It is one of the main reasons every card is a wall of text. Yu-Gi-Oh isn't even like Magic where you can just say "Keyword it" because while there's a few evergreen effects (Like Piercing) Yu-Gi-Oh loves adding new cards that do new weird poo poo that interact weirdly with every card in the past. Gold Sarc + Dragon Rulers or Eclipse Wyvern is one of the best, an old way to tutor a card in 2 turns gives you an effect immediately due to a cards effect.
