@pyro_ae @DistantCoder @Thefusionistygo The point here is knowing how card and game mechanics work to get out of certain situations. In the above scenario, the card while is considered fusion material, it is not considered fusion material for a fusion summon specifically. Thats what makes this legal.

@DistantCoder @Thefusionistygo Contact fusion and fusion are both considered special summons. How could you assume its not used as material when it is literally material to be met for the fusion to happen one fallen and one other dragon. He was right to assume you can’t do that.

I often talk about why ruling knowledge is important at the highest level of Yu-Gi-Oh competition, and that was put on display perfectly in Game 2 of the finals at YCS Colombus yesterday. Allow me to explain. In the pictured gamestate, Jesse Kotton is trying to find a way to attack for game. Lucas is out of interaction, Jesse's mirrorjade has not yet activated and both his Fallen of the White Dragon & Aluber have 0 ATK. Jesse's Fallen of the White Dragon has also been affected by Forbidden Crown. We know Jesse plays Alba-Lenatus the Abyss Dragon, a fusion monster that can be Special Summoned by sending 1 Fallen of Albaz + 1 or more Dragon(s) from either field to the Graveyard. So this is where the ruling comes into play: Here, Jesse's Fallen of the White Dragon is affected by Forbidden Crown which makes it so Fallen "Cannot be used as material for a Fusion [...] Summon." but Alba-Lenatus is not a Fusion Summon, it is a Special Summon by sending the monsters listed in its text from either field to the Graveyard. In this position, Jesse COULD have sent his own Fallen as well as Lucas' Fallen to the Graveyard in order to summon Alba-Lenatus, used his Mirrorjade to banish Lucas' Ecclesia and attack for game, but seemingly due to not knowing the ruling Jesse ultimately didn't find a line to attack for game and lost this duel. While Jesse does ultimately take game 3 to win the set, I cannot stress enough how much knowledge of intricate rulings and interactions can help even the greatest of players in this game. A lot of people have this belief that knowing rulings isn't really important because judges are there to correct mistakes but judges won't tell you that you can make a play you assume you can't make. I implore anyone that wants to get better at Yu-Gi-Oh to take the time and learn the intricate rules of the game, I promise it will only benefit you! GGs to Jesse for winning and GGs to Sacco for an amazing tournament performance. If y'all have any questions about this ruling or want to understand further feel free to ask away in the comments, I'd be more than happy to clarify.

@LoftonTCG I mean, what do you expect. A enclosed fur suit that has no breathing on the inside + a huge convention that has a ton of people. Its a breading ground for people to sweat and get musty. Showering and deodorant can only do so much.

There’s a damn Furry convention here at the Columbus convention center and these guys STINK walking past them

@diayesmeralda @RosannaPansino If you don't like it then why do you follow her if it bothers you so much. Thats like saying you hate fox news but every time it comes on you don't change the channel and look at the screen.

@RosannaPansino i don’t know why to be honest lol but girl move on let it gooooo why do you care that much i’m just bored and you? lol

I have talked to dozens of former MrBeast employees over the last 2+ years and what this new lawsuit alleges is only the tip of the iceberg. MrBeast’s lawyers will try to slander her, but the truth is slowly catching up. I hope this goes to discovery. It gets much, much worse at Beast Industries.

@diayesmeralda @RosannaPansino You sound like the type of person where if it doesn't personally affect you then you don't care. Well good news, keep that up and when it does affect you no one is going to want to help because you chose not to help them. News is news and if she wants to report on it she can.

@LoftonTCG I can agree with you on that point but don't hear what i didn't say. What I said was that just because him specifically moving on like that and having that way of life at that time isn't the end all be all to him as a person. People are capable of growing past that.

@Princebleublood So then you’d agree that jumping from the relationship to another is a form of self sabotage and wasn’t mentally correct? So we can deduce he was just wrong up and down Keep running your circles monkey

Okay guys now remember, don’t celebrate the winner of a ycs if he previously abused a woman. Cause if that’s happened before in the past I’m SURE y’all let it slide then right?

@LoftonTCG Also, mentioning leblanc being a teenager is just a strawman fallacy. I never even brought that up, you did so you could have an argument to attack that is weaker than the main point I made. Can we stay on topic with what I said without the strawman stuff.

@Princebleublood Leblanc was a teenager in his first relationship Coder was a grown adult and it was his SECOND gf he had any sort of abuse in. That’s not change, that’s a pattern.

@LoftonTCG But hey, you're okay with chris lebanc and what he did, right? Or does that not count.

@LoftonTCG People change. If you always assume that someone hasn't changed your admitting to yourself orhers shouldn't be allowed grow and better themselves. If you say this isn't the case and you believe people should be allowed to grow and better themselves, why say all this.

@DistantCoder It's 100% random variance. 1.5÷log(2)×log(n) where n = deck size gives you how many shuffles needed for complete randomization. This means for commander with 99 cards in the main you need 9-10 shuffles for pure randomization. If you have a lot of lands, this should fix your issue

Sat down for a game of commnder. Opened my 7 card hand, 1 land. Mulligan, open another hand, 0 lands. Mulligan, next hand, 1 land. Mulligan, next hand, 1 land. Milligan, next hand, 3 lands, Finally! Have to put back 3 cards, cuz of all the mulls, draw no lands for 7 turns. I like Magic, but how can anyone say the mana system in this game is one of the best? It’s the most frustrating mana sytem to engage with because if shit doesn’t go perfectly you just get completely screwed.

@smildy @RosannaPansino Except, he is exactly what he looks like. Always has. People often put on a facade and hide who they really are until they get what they want. In this case, being president. The fact you're so blind to this fact and wanna use ad homynms as some sort of argument is a bad argument.

@RosannaPansino And im assuming you voted for dim witted drunk moron who couldn't put a sentence together to save her life? We voted for a person who promised no more wars and to put the American people first. It's not our fault he became who he is now. Im tired of people who say this shit!

Whelp, y'all voted for a crazy person.

$100 to anyone who could do this

@Geniustechw Kind of sounds like a father with emotional disregulation. Looks like terrible parenting.

Dad cuts his son's dreadlocks because he bullied a kid with cancer at school... Thoughts?

@topvideos___ youtube.com/shorts/Z9EwVpw… - one example

@topvideos___ I mean. Adult emotional dysregulation because he cannot control his emotions and taking it out on a child is abuse. Dr Raquel or however you spell her name has spoken on this many times in her videos as a licensed psychologist. This is and never has bene okay.

@JoneshaLut6650 @daddyiel @Zodyrus @topvideos___ This is not true and modern psychology legit proves you wrong. Why are you so ignorant to the things you do not understand.

@daddyiel @Zodyrus @topvideos___ Only those who never gotten discipline will assume this is child abuse which is not.

@LoftonTCG The order of the equation has been changed between both.

Y’all forgot about PEMDAS huh

@LoftonTCG Or, how about you realize the fact that you could give a very good deck to someone , even a meta deck , built in a way that you would believe is the best to play that deck and they still go 4-4. Would you say then that the deck recipe is a how not yo build it?

@Princebleublood No

Mfers will drop their list and go “Went 4-4 at the regional today” Like okay? So you’re telling us what DOESNT work? Thank you!
