The Effect of Wicked Avatar is as follows: This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set except by Tributing 3 monsters. Your opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap Cards until the end of their 2nd turn after this card is Normal Summoned. The ATK and DEF of this card are each 100 points higher than the highest ATK on the field (except "The Wicked Avatar").
Yes. Tributing Gusto Gulldo is a cost, meaning it will miss the timing on its Optional Trigger.
Skill Drain will do the following:If a monster activates an effect, and the monster is face-up on the field when that effect resolves, then that effect will be negated.If, when the effect resolves, the monster is not face-up on the field, then the effect will resolve as normal. This happens to monsters who activate and resolve in different zones, monsters tributed for the activation of their own effect, and monsters destroyed, or flipped face-down before their effects can resolve.A monster's continuous effect will be negated until Skill Drain is removed from the field.
Flip effects will activate if flipped manually by Flip Summon, or when attacked. Also must include "FLIP" in all caps for its effect to activate, or say 'when this card is turned face-up'. For example if a monster such as Guardian Sphinx is flipped face up by an attack or an effect (spell, trap or monster), the effect does not activate, because only a Flip Summon triggers it, not a generic flip. When a card effect destroys a face-down monster, the monster is destroyed and flip effect isn't activated because the monster never flips. Mystic Swordsman Lvl. 4 destroys the monster it attacks without flipping it, so a Flip Effect monster attacked by it will not get its flip effect. To summarize, if a FLIP effect monster is attacked while face down, then it will activate. But if it's destroyed by a card effect while face down then it won't activate. Some card effects let you flip monsters face up and let the flip effect activate, like book of taiyou. But others, like ceasefire don't let it activate. If it says 'when this card is flipped face up' then you have to do that manually on your own turn.
No monster can activiate its effect while face down unless it specifically says so; only face up.If you are referring to monsters who say their effects activate when Flip Summoned, that means you must flip the monster up manually during your Main Phase after it is set face down. A monster fliped face up from an attack does not count as a Flip Summon.
No. The effect of Mask states that monsters cannot be tributed. Since stardust requires itself be tributed to activate the effect, you cant activate the effect.
In real life, it can't do anything. In the cartoon world, you can select up to 2 monsters and gain their atk/def until the end of the turn by tributing them.
No. Dark World Monsters have to be discarded 'by an effect'. The discard for Fabled Gallabas is a cost, not an effect, it will not trigger Dark World Monsters.
This info comes from nekofjung from gamefaqs.com and thus give all credit to himfor this answer. I am just copy pasting this info of the fourth puzzle, andhold no value over this answer.Compact Duel #4:1. Activate Destructotron to destroy the opponent's Mirror Force.2. Activate Telekenetic Power Well and Special Summon Mind Master and Krebons.3. Summon Psychic Snail and use his effect on Destructotron.4. Activate Mind Master's effect, tributing Psychic Snail and summoning PowerInjector.5. Activate Mind Master's effect, tributing Krebons and summoning PsychicCommander.6. Activate Power Injector's effect.7. Activate Psychic Sword and equip it to Destructotron.8. Attack Spirit Reaper with Mind Master and pay any amount of LP with PsychicCommander's effect so that Spirit Reaper will be targeted (and thus hedestroys himself).9. Attack with your remaining monsters (1900 + 4100x2 + 1800 = 11,900 = game).
The monsters that can do this are almost exclusively one of the following, A - monsters that specifically say that's where they activate. B - monsters with a Quick Effect that can negate the activation of a Spell, Trap or monster effect. C - monsters with a Quick Effect that modify a monster's ATK or DEF. No others can be activated, so a monster with a Quick Effect that only destroys a target could not be used.
Monsters do not have Priority, players do. Once successfully summoned, the turn player may activate Judgment Dragon's effect as chain link 1.
As per Soul Exchange's effect, one of the monsters for Amazoness Archer's cost can be one of the opponent's monsters.
No, "Ambulance Rescueroid" will not activate its effect upon being summoned using "Polymerization" because it must be Fusion Summoned by sending the Fusion Materials listed on the card from the field to the GY. The effect of "Ambulance Rescueroid" will only activate when it is Special Summoned from the GY by its own effect.
If spells activate effects monsters? Some do. For example, playing swords of revealing light flips all of your opponent's monsters into face-up defense position. If your opponent then flips an effect monster, the effect is activated (e.g. man-eater bug or magician of faith).
No, because you're unable to remove any cards from play. Since you can't pay the effect's cost, you can't activate it.
An attacked flip effect monster's effect will activate after damage calculation, but before monsters destroyed by battle go to the graveyard, so it will be after the effect's resolution. Note that even though a monsters considered destroyed by battle will still be on the field at the time, it can't be returned to hand or deck by such effects.
No, it is NEVER the same. The two terms are totally different, even if yes, it involves sending a monster from the field to graveyard. But if a monster says it activates an effect when it is destroyed, it will never activate from a tribute.
