First of all, I'm not telling you to relinquish your win. I'm clearing up a ruling and nothing else.

Second of all, if we're going to follow the card text exactly, the card text very clearly says that it must be sent to the Graveyard while equipped to a monster. Well, if the monster's destroyed, then the card's no longer equipped. It's just game mechanics.

Third of all, the GM very clearly stated how the card works (which makes me wonder why he didn't pick up on it this time).

In any case, I'm just stating a ruling. I'll let Ammok decide what to do from here.

The Duel Tower: The first year students. (A Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Academy Roleplay.) [Axed]

Well, I linked to the ruling, but I'll quote it if I have to:

"If a monster Equipped with Dragunity Aklys is removed from the field and Aklys is sent to the Graveyard, you can NOT destroy a card on the field. Since the monster is no longer present, Aklys was not Equipped to a monster when it was destroyed; it was instead destroyed by game mechanics."

Duel Spoilers

"Your monster... won't survive," Ethel told Angelo with a short pause. Sharp Lanius' jets flared up and it rushed forward, circling around Dux. The dragonic warrior had trouble following Sharp Lanius and confused itself in all the spinning around. It was forced down on its knees. In Ethel's helmet she saw Dragunity Dux' 1700 ATK change to 1000 DEF. "Lanius. Kill Dragunity Dux!" Following Ethel's command, the bird that was circling the warrior revealed its talons. From the compartment in its legs dropped out two sharp blades, and in a flash, Dux was sliced up.

Angelo smirked a little when she did destroy Angelo monster but then he soon saw what could only be described as an afterimage of Aklys race towards her monter. Once it got close to the monster it bit into the monsters neck and a snap could be heard as the monster scattered away. "I should thank you for taking down Dux while he had Akyls equipped, which means that he was able to take down a card of my choosing. You can guess which one I picked, Angelo said as the effect left her field wide open.

Ethel let out a low growl as her Sharp Lanius shattered, this little charade leavng her defenseless. This was very frustrating, but she'd just have to survive next turn. "Set one. Turn end."

Heads up for next time, Aklys does not work like that. If Aklys is destroyed due to the equipped monster leaving the field, be it Synchro, destruction, or otherwise, then Aklys is no longer considered to be equipped when it is destroyed and it cannot activate its effect.

@LunarStandard

Yes, I dug this up all the way from page 134.

Oh sweet lord, please no.

Name: Holder of Knowledge
Level: 2
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type(s): Spellcaster / Gemini / Tuner
Effect: This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is a Normal Monster on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with this effect.

• When you use this card as Synchro Material, one other Synchro Material Monster can be from your hand.

ATK/DEF: 0/0

@Scarifar

Okay, I'm not a big fan of this card. When you look at Tuners that Synchro from the hand like T.G. Cyber Magician and Mara of the Nordic Alfar, they typically have heavy archetype restrictions. Even the splashable ones either severely weaken the Synchro Monster (Eccentric Boy) or are much harder to get out (Tatsunoko).

Plus, when I look at some of the previous cards you've made, like Arcane Master combined with Gemini support combined with Arcanite everything, it seems like a bit much.

Now that I have whined about balance, it's time to give my character more cards.

@Ammokkx

I'll have Nathaniel spend 40 points on Starter Deck: Yuya since the first one is discounted, and 15 more points on another set of (guess what?) BOSH. That would be 55 points total.

Nathaniel sat through the rest of class quietly, although he was none too happy with how it turned out.

A circus act? Come on, what's wrong with having a little fun in our duels?

Nathaniel did not dare raise an objection though, as he had no desire to part with any of his limbs. Still, Transformer did have a point about their individual dueling skills. Nathaniel's deck was severely lacking in power, and his failings forced Haas to carry them for most of the duel. If Nathaniel wanted to improve his skills, that would probably be the first place to start.

With class over, Nathaniel prepared to head out. Megan and Camryn had already headed off on their own, and Haas seemed quite busy chatting up a girl. Nathaniel figured now was probably a good time to head to the card shop.

@Xeiyenreisha
going to wait on your post

@Jangel13

Not sure if you've been following up on the latest, but they're not around anymore.

<Snipped quote by 1Charak2>

But how else am I supposed to expand to other Summoning methods? It's not like I can just stick a whole other Archetype into this one.

@Scarifar

Well, not every archetype has to incorporate all of the summoning methods. Speaking for myself, I personally put Performapal Ring Master into the mix because Performapals have the Trump series while having no archetype Fusion Monsters, and I don't plan on making any Synchros or Xyz. Besides, there's no shortage of splashable Rank 4s.

The Duel Tower: The first year students. (A Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Academy Roleplay.) [Axed]

But D/D/D.

@Eklispe

D/D/D isn't really a Synchro archetype so much as "we do all the Extra Decks and also Pendulums."

<Snipped quote by LunarStandard>

Nah, no need to target, I think.

Could be wrong tho.

@Scarifar

Splash Capture targets. That's what I'm basing that off of.
