At first, Nathaniel was a little thrown off by Brad's question. What did he mean by outfit? He was wearing his Earth dorm uniform. Then he realized that Brad meant what he was wearing under his uniform, and his question made a lot more sense.

"Oh, you mean this." Nathaniel said, pinching the fabric on his dress shirt. "I just figured I would wear something nice for my first day. Although I guess that didn't work out too well for me."

"So Brad, where are you from?" Nathaniel asked. He could definitely pick up some southern roots out of Brad's accent, but he didn't want to make assumptions and end up pissing off someone of his... stature.

Oh boy! Both Superheavy Samurai Pendulums YES!

It's BOSH day! Is it time...?

"Oh-ah-ahem!" Nathaniel was stuttering a little out of embarrassment of being caught staring, but he managed to catch it at the last second and disguise it as a clearing of the throat.

"Hi. My name's Nathaniel. What's yours?" Nathaniel gave a brief introduction of himself and extended a hand for the man in front of him to shake, hoping he wouldn't crush it into a fine mist.

Now that Nathaniel took a closer look at his new acquaintance, he realized that he looked vaguely familiar. Wait a minute, he saw him in a bunch of his classes today! He hadn't really noticed him throughout the day, which was extremely strange, since he would think that with a build like that, he would stand out more. A lot more.

That actually explains that it CAN.

@Scarifar

Oh, it can. In fact, it has to, much to the chagrin of the controller of Light and Darkness Dragon.

I remember using that card on PSP Yugioh games and it was always a pain in the ass to use effect cards, because it would negate them. I know how that card works, because I've used it before so I don't need an explanation about it. It is probably one of the better dragon cards you can find despite the fact it is a double-edged sword when you summon it.

Already know what effects it can't negate. Jinzo a a prime example of what it CANNOT negate since Jinzo's anti-trap effect is continuous. As I said, I do not need an explanation on how that card works. I've used it before. Treeborn Frog is another example of what it cannot negate.

Skill Drain is one way to defeat its effect before someone special summons it to the field.

@Xeiyenreisha

Alright, just saying that LADD doesn't actually stop the usage of Shine Counters. But hey, if you know how the card works, more power to you.

<Snipped quote by Xeiyenreisha>

Uh, I'm at least 95% certain Light and Darkness can negate Treeborn Frog. Reading up the wiki ruling right now.

@Scarifar

EDIT: Oh, missed that. Yeah, he's right.

EDIT 2: To clear this up further, LADD does negate Treeborn Frog. However, because Treeborn does not have a Once Per Turn clause, Treeborn can continually activate, forcing LADD to negate it each time until it can't anymore because its ATK/DEF is too low, at which point Treeborn once again hits the field.

Cannot be Special Summoned. While face-up on the field, this card is also DARK-Attribute. Once per Chain, during either player's turn, when a Spell Card, Trap Card, or monster effect is activated: This card loses exactly 500 ATK and DEF and that activation is negated. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: Target 1 monster in your Graveyard (if possible); destroy all cards you control, also Special Summon that monster (if any).

@Xeiyenreisha

The ruling's here if you don't want to take my word for it and would rather have something more official.

"The effect of "Light and Darkness Dragon" only activates when a Spell/Trap Card is activated from the hand or flipped face-up. It cannot be activated when the effect of a Continuous Spell Card, Continuous Trap Card, "Ojamagic" or a Spell Card sent to the Graveyard by "Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude" are activated."

EDIT: Already done, Eklispe.

@Scarifar Light and Darkness Dragon, do you remember what pack that is? It's a card I used against Lightsworn and annoying effect cards to strip them of using their effects. It does wonders for annoying cards like Lightsworn Sanctuary and Realm of Light since Shine Counters are just wasted when you try to use them while it is on the field. Double-edged sword card but it has a great effect after it is destroyed. I always kept it around until it was destroyed. Easily one of my favorite dragon cards despite the -500 ATK for each time the effect on it is activated.

@Xeiyenreisha

Okay, time to put on my lawyer glasses and clear up some rulings.

Light and Darkness Dragon only negates the activation of the Spell and Trap cards themselves. If a Spell or Trap that is already face-up on the field activates its effect, LADD cannot negate that activation, as it was the activation of the effect, and not the Spell or Trap card itself. It's perfect legal to negate Lightsworn monster effects though, although due to the rapid-fire nature of their milling effects, that ATK will be dropping awfully quickly.

@Ammokkx

Yeah, that's fine. It's like a day away anyway.
