d). Christian can activate “D.D. Crow,” and target “Destiny Hero – Malicious” since he has Priority. Michael can then chain to the effect of “D.D. Crow,” activating the effect of “Destiny Hero – Malicious,” and removing it from play as a cost.

e). None of the above.


Question 2:
Lauren activates “Premature Burial,” by paying 800 Life Points as a cost to activate it. Which of the following is correct?

a). Lauren must pay all costs and choose all targets upon activation of “Premature Burial.” After she Special Summons "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", Priority is passed to her opponent, who may then respond to the Summon with “Solemn Judgment.”

b). “Premature Burial” does not target, so Lauren does not have to choose the monster she wishes to Special Summon until “Premature Burial” resolves.

c). Lauren must pay all costs and choose all targets upon activation of “Premature Burial.” After she does, Priority is passed to her opponent, who may then respond with “Solemn Judgment.”

e). None of the above.


Question 3:
Both Nicole and Oscar each have a copy of Left Arm of the Forbidden One, Left Leg of the Forbidden One, Right Arm of the Forbidden One, and Right Leg of the Forbidden One in their hands.

Which of the following is correct?

a). Torrential Tribute destroys both copies of Sangan. Both effects go on a chain, with the turn player's effect placed on Chain Link 1 and opponent's effect placed on Chain Link 2. Oscar searches out for his copy of Exodia the Forbidden One and immidiantly wins by being the first player to have all pieces of exodia in his hand.

b). Torrential Tribute destroys both copies of Sangan. Both effects go on a chain, with the turn player's effect placed on Chain Link 1 and opponent's effect placed on Chain Link 2. Oscar searches out for his copy of Exodia the Forbidden One but cannot win until the chain has fully resolved. Nicole searches out for her copy of Exodia the Forbidden One. The chain has finished resolving, which both players reaching a Victory Condition. The game is a Tie.

c). Torrential Tribute destroys both copies of Sangan. Both effects do not form a chain. Both players resolve the effect simultaneously since they were both destroyed at the same time. Both players search out for a copy of Exodia the Forbidden One. The game is a Tie.

RESULTS:

Question 1:
Topic: Costs, effects and priority.
Correct answer: c
a). 28.57%
b). 7.14%
c). 42.86%
d). 7.14%
e). 14.29%

Response a).
Michael is allowed to activate an ignition effect of Spell Speed 1 after a successful summon due to priority

Response b).
Christian is not the turn player. He cannot activate D.D Crow's effect if Priority is not passed by Michael first.

Response c).
Michael retains Priority after a successful Normal Summon or Set. As soon as the summon has been declared Sucessful (ie not negated by Solemn Judgment or Royal Oppression), Michael can immidiantly call Priority to activate Destiny Hero-Malicious in the graveyard, then the opponent can respond to the summon, or the effect of Destiny Hero Malicious.

Response d).
Christian once again is not the turn player, unless Priority is passed by Michael he cannot activate a card effect.

Response e).
incorrect



Question 2:
Topic: Targetting and priority.
Correct answer: c
a). 14.29%
b). 0%
c). 64.29%
d). 21.43%
e). 0%


Response a).
Incorrect, the opponent must be given time to respond to Premature Burial before the Summon of Blue-Eyes White Dragon takes place. After the Summon of Blue-Eyes does take place, Priority is passed again, but Solen Judgment is not a card that can respond to the summon on Blue-Eyes White Dragon (see inherent Special Summons and effect Special Summons from Week 2)

Response b).
Premature Burial does target.

Response c).
Correct, the opponent may respond with Solemn Judgment after Premature Burial is activated and negate Premature Burial's effect.

Response d).
All targets are chosen at activation before Priority is passed to the opponent. Her opponent can respond after all costs and targets are paid and selected.

Response e).
Incorrect.



Question 3:
Topic: Card chains and win conditions.

Correct answer: a
a). 50%
b). 35.71%
c). 7.14%
d). 0%
e). 7.14%


Response a).
The exodia win condition does interrupt the chain. As soon as Oscar has all 5 pieces the game ends, even in the middle of a chain. Exodia is a bit of a rule breaker.

Response b).
Incorrect, Oscar wins by being the first player to have all 5 pieces in the hand.

Response c).
The effects do form a chain, but once again, it will not be a tie, oscar will recieve the last copy of Exodia before Nicole and win the game.

Response d).
The card effects will form a chain.

Response e).
incorrect, the turn player always resolves his/her effect last in the chain, since chains resolve backwards.


Question 4:
Topic: Priority.
Correct answer: c
a). 14.29%
b). 28.57%
c). 7.14%
d). 35.71%
e). 14.29%

The most horribly difficult question i have ever asked. This needs in depth reviewing

Response a).
Josie Summons Elemental Hero Stratos, by asking her opponent for a response to her Normal Summon, she has passed all Priority to do so. If Evan did have a response, Priority would have been passed back to her, but since he did not, Josie does not retain priority a second time for the same normal summon.

Response b).
Once again, by asking Evan for a response, Josie has passed all Priority to activate Elemental Hero Stratos' effect and respond to the summon, if Evan chooses not to respond Priority is not passed back to Josie.

Response c).
The correct answer, lets see how this works.
Josie Normal Summons Elemental Hero Stratos.
--The Summon Negation window passes--
--The Summon is considered successful by both players--
-Josie has Priority to activate Stratos' effect. OR
-Josie has Priority to respond to her own summon with a card effect. (she does neither action)
-Priority is shifted to Evan.
-Evan does not wish to activate any cards.
--The response Window passes--

If both players do not respond to the Summon (the turn player must respond first), the response window passes. If the turn player passes the chance to respond but the opponent decides to respond, the turn player retains priority again and can respond to the opponents card.

Response d).
Josie has passed priority to activate the effect upon the successful Summon of Elemental Hero Stratos.

Response e).
Incorrect.


Question 5:
Topic: Chain Link
Correct answer: b
a). 0%
b). 14.29%
c). 50%
d). 21.43%
e). 14.29%

Another harsh question. Im going to ease up next week D:

Response a).
Light and Darkness Dragon being Chain Link 3 in this case, will resolve first and lose 500 ATK and DEF to negate Sangan.

Response b).
Doomcalibur Knight will resolve first, and negate Sangan. Light and Darkness Dragon will then do nothing.

Response c).
Light and Darkness Dragon only loses 500 ATK and DEF during the resolution of the negation effect. This loss of ATK and DEF is an interesting property of Light and Darkness Dragon and can be considered as an activation requirement, if you cannot lose the 500 ATK and DEF the effect cannot be activated, the actual loss however does nto happen until resolution. Since Doomcalibur Knight will negate Sangan first, Light and Darkness Dragon has nothing the negate and its effect will fizzle leaving its ATK and DEF unaffected.

Response d).
Both Doomcalibur Knight and Light and Darkness Dragon will form a chain to negate the activation of Sangan. Both Light and Darkness Dragon and Doomcalibur Knight activate at the same time in response to Sangan only and will negate each others effects at any time.

Response e).
Both Doomcalibur Knight and Light and Darkness Dragon will form a chain to negate the activation of Sangan. Both Light and Darkness Dragon and Doomcalibur Knight activate at the same time in response to Sangan only and will negate each others effects at any time.


Question 6: TRUE
True: 71.43%
False: 28.57%

This is true, the turn player retains priority after declaring an attack with a monster. After he/she wishes not activate a card effect priority is passed to the opponent.


Question 7: TRUE
True: 100%
False: 0%

Correct, the turn player retains priority after his/her own successful Normal Summon of a monster.


Question 8: FALSE
True: 21.43%
False: 78.57%

Drawing a card is the first thing that happens in a players turn. and it signifies not only the beginning of the Draw Phase but the beginning of the next players turn. The turn has not begun until a card is drawn and for this reason the turn player cannot call priority before this action. As for cards that skip draw phases, their effects are lingering effects that do not activate due to priority and are just applied to skip the draw phase before drawing occurs.


--The Detonator--

Gah i really failed at 4 and 5... took me a long time to figure a solution and in the end its the answer my stomach gave me out of the nowhere, maybe i should listen more to my intuition than to reason o0

this was up earlier but due to some incidents it was removed.

it wont happen again.

--The Detonator--

Actually the answer to Question 5 is also c, because DCK and LADD activate at the same time, and they both resolve fully. So LADD would lose the 500 ATK and DEF and DCK would Tribute itself.

Oh, why did you post the answers... Arethere any of these that is still fresh?

Btw, I only failed at 4, I confused that with the Allure Exodia ruling:

you cannot win with ex untill an EFFECT resolves, so you still have to rfg with allure I rememvered this as chain

Mushi - The Rebel wrote:Actually the answer to Question 5 is also c, because DCK and LADD activate at the same time, and they both resolve fully. So LADD would lose the 500 ATK and DEF and DCK would Tribute itself.

LaDD will not lose 500 ATK and DEF because it has nothing to negate, the monster has been negated by Doomcalibur Knight previously in the resolving chain. Losing 500 ATK and DEF is not a cost and only happens when it resolves while negating a effect, which cannot be negated a second time.

@Ruby,
a new quiz will be up soon and you can participate without already knowing the answers.

--The Detonator--

"which cannot be negated a second time." This is where he's totally right. Plus, you cannot choose to activate or not DCK so LaDD wont have a chance.
