Nacional - 5ª ronda - Bruno Miranda vs Filipe Araujo

Mais um jogo, desta vez da 5ª ronda.
Encontravam-se Bruno Miranda de Barcelos, com um percurso limpo, até aí (4-0) e o Filipe Araújo de Campo Maior, que tinha já perdido um jogo (3-1).
Não se conheciam nem nunca tinham jogado, e iniciaram o jogo com um cumprimento de mão.

Começou o Filipe (F) com o tradicional set de monstro e uma Spell/Trap (S/T).
O Bruno (B) activou Crossout e removeu um Dekoichi. Teve de remover um dele e o Filipe retirou outro do deck. Baixou um Kycoo e atacou. Colocou duas S/T e passou.
F usou Graceful, descartando Goldd e Chaos Sorcerer e colocou o primeiro em jogo. O Bruno, pouco à vontade com cartas Dark World, perguntou o que é que ele fazia. O Goldd atacou mas ficou numa Sakuretsu. Voltou novamente ao campo por efeito de um Call of Haunted mas B activou Torrential Tribute. F fez um set e colocou uma S/T.
O jogo começava em grande e prometia.
B limitou-se a colocar uma S/T e passou.
F flipou Spirit Reaper, atacou e fez descartar Chaos Sorcerer. Colocou uma S/T e passou.
B usou Heavy Storm para destruir Torrential Tribute e RFDDimension e passou.
F baixou DDWLady e atacou com os dois monstros fazendo o B descartar outro Chaos Sorcerer.
B fez Special Summon de um Cyber Dragon com o qual imediatamente atacou o Reaper e passou.
F demorou algum tempo a jogada, justificando com um animador “deixa ver se consigo acabar contigo”.
Mas não, colocou uma S/T, usou Smashing Ground no Cyber e atacou novamente com tudo, fazendo descartar um Jinzo (a mão inicial do Bruno era realmente péssima), e colocando os pontos de vida em 4400 para si e 4100 para o Bruno.
Mas a igualdade era só aparente, pois o B em topdeck limitou-se a fazer um set.
F sacrificou o Reaper por um Zaborg e atacou com tudo novamente deixando o B apenas com 200 pontos de vida.
Este na jogada seguinte, ainda comprou carta mas logo de seguida concedeu.
Era o 1-0 para o Filipe.

Apenas o Bruno foi ao sidedeck, mas rapidamente o jogo se iniciou.

Começou o B com a jogada tradicional.
F imitou-o mas na End Phase um Typhoon destruí-lhe um Book of Moon.
B flipou Night Assailant e pelo efeito desfez-se de uma MoF. Baixou Sangan e atacou com os dois.
F usou Heavy Storm e destruiu Call Haunted, fez Snatch Steal no Sangan, baixou Tsukuyomi e usou o efeito nele, e de seguida atacou com os dois. Colocou ainda uma S/T e passou.
B baixa Breaker, usa o counter para destruir um RFDDimension, ataca o Sangan e vai buscar um Spirit Reaper pelo efeito dele. Colocou uma S/T.
F limita-se a usar o efeito do Exiled Force no Breaker e passa.
B usa Graceful, descartando Treeborn Frog e Spirit Reaper, baixa um Don Zaloog e ataca, fazendo descartar uma DDWLady.
F sem jogo para contrariar o adversário, fez um set e passou.
B usou ele também Exiled e com o efeito destruiu MoF. Atacou novamente deixando os pontos de vida do F em 2800 contra os seus 6100.
F voltou a fazer um set e passou.
B comprou carta e sacou um Crossout arrancando uma gargalhada do Filipe. Fez o Special Summon do Chaos Sorcerer e atacou para jogo.
Com a mesma facilidade com que o Filipe tinha ganho o primeiro era a vez do Bruno agora ganhar.

Nenhum foi ao sidedeck e imediatamente começaram a jogar a “negra”, que no caso tinha muito mais importância para o Filipe.

F começa com, … pois, já sabem esta parte, é quase sempre igual.
B atacou com um Cyber Dragon mas foi impedido por um Book Moon. Fez um set, colocou uma S/T e passou.
F flipa Magical Merchant com o qual vai buscar um Bottomless Trap Hole, tributa-a por um Jinzo e destrói o Cyber face down. Colocou uma S/T e passou.
B usa Smashing Ground no Jinzo, um Dust Tornado num Bottomless Trap Hole e fez um set.
F faz igualmente um set e uma S/T e passa.
B usa Crossout e acerta num Spirit Reaper e fica-se por aí.
F volta a fazer um set.
B novamente ao ataque, baixa Breaker, activa o counter mas vê em resposta as “ovelhinhas”. Flipa um MoF com o qual volta a ir buscar o Crossout e usa-o num Dekoichi, tendo também de remover o seu. Ataca dois “goats”, coloca uma S/T e passa.
F usa Premature Burial para ir buscar Jinzo, e ataca a MoF mas B usa um Book of Moon, para ainda puder activar o seu efeito e ir buscar o Smashing ao cemitério.
É evidente que na jogada seguinte o Jinzo volta a ser destruído pelo Smashing, o B ataca ainda um goat com o Breaker, faz um set e passa.
F volta a fazer apenas um set.
B sempre a tentar ganhar o domínio do jogo, flipa MoF, vai buscar Crossout com o qual se desfaz de um Treeborn Frog, ataca com a MoF o último token e ataca directamente com o Breaker.Parecia que o jogo estava a ter um só sentido, mas neste formato as coisas mudam de repente.
F usou Heavy Storm e destruiu uma Mirror Force. Fez Special Summon de Chaos Sorcerer e atacou a MoF, colocou uma S/T e passou.
B tenta destruir o Chaos suicidando um DD Assailant contra ele mas é detido por uma Sakuretsu.
F usa apenas o efeito do Chaos Sorcerer para remover o Breaker que ainda estava em cima da mesa quase desde o inicio, faz um set e passa.
B com um topdeck de Graceful, descarta Cyber e Heavy Storm e limita-se a colocar uma S/T e passa.
No entanto, a “maré” tinha já mudado, e o F com um flip de um MoF foi buscar novamente Heavy Storm e destruiu uma Sakuretsu e um Bottomless Trap Hole. Tributou a MoF por um Zaborg que destruiu o Treeborn Frog e atacou com tudo, deixando o B com 1300 pontos de vida contra os seus 5600.
B estava em topdeck, comprou carta e saiu-lhe o que parecia que poderia ainda aguentar o jogo, um Chaos Sorcerer, mas não tinha “Dark” e não pode fazer o Special Summon. O Treeborn Frog que entretanto tinha voltado também não era defesa suficiente e na jogada seguinte o Filipe atacou para jogo e match.

Bom jogo entre dois bons jogadores, que demonstraram porque iriam entrar no Top8.

Nacional - Bartolo vs José Macareno - 4ª ronda

Nota prévia 1 – Comecei só a fazer cobertura de jogos a partir da 4ª ronda, pois só aqui se começaram a definir os jogos mais importantes e os jogadores com mais possibilidades de passar ao Top8, e também porque seria extremamente esgotante fazer a cobertura de um jogo por ronda até ao final.

Nota prévia 2 – Dado os acontecimentos mais recentes tive grande resistência para começar a trabalhar neste “jogo”, uma vez que uma das pessoas envolvidas teve uma atitude lamentável, para dizer o mínimo. No entanto, por respeito ao Killer, aqui segue, ainda assim, a “cover”.

Jogo entre o Bartolo Romeu [DonZaloog] de Barcelos e o José Macarenho [Killer] de Campo Maior.
Cada um deles chegava a esta ronda (a 4ª) com 3 vitórias cada um. O Killer era o mais entusiasta, e dado o seu feitio mais extrovertido, dizia que estava “on fire”.

Começou o Bartolo (B) com o tradicional set de monstro e uma Spell /Trap (S/T)
O José (K) abriu com Graceful e descartou Swords e uma Sakuretsu. Fez igualmente um set e uma S/T e passou.
B baixou Exiled Force para imediatamente tributar destruindo uma Magician of Faith (MoF).
K fez Call of the Haunted na MoF, tributou por Zaborg que com o efeito destruiu um Spirit Reaper mas ficou imediatamente num Bottomless Trap Hole.
B voltou a fazer um set e passou.
K baixou DD Warrior Lady e atacou um Dekoichi.
B baixou um DD Assailant e atacou a DDWL sendo os dois removidos. Coloca uma S/T e passa.
K usa um Typhoon e destrói Torrential Tribute. Baixa Breaker e ataca directamente.
B baixa igualmente Breaker e num ataque suicida, destrói os dois. Coloca uma S/T e passa.
K chama um Pitch-Black Warwolf e ataca sem qualquer resposta do B.
Na sua vez, num jogo sempre muito defensivo, volta a fazer um set e a colocar uma S/T e passa.
K usa um Crossout e remove um Skelengel de jogo. Ataca novamente deixando o B com 2900 pontos de vida contra os seus 7800. Parecia que o jogo estava com um só sentido. Pura ilusão…
B volta a fazer um set e passa.
K ataca novamente mas encontra um Spirit Reaper.
B volta a fazer um set e volta a passar.
K coloca 2 S/T, baixa um Assailant com o qual destrói um Sangan face down, indo o B buscar um Night Assailant.
B volta a fazer um set e passa.
K usa um Smashing Ground para se ver livre do Reaper mas o B usa um Call Haunted para ir buscar o Sangan, que é destruído na sua vez e com o qual aproveita para ir buscar outro Spirit Reaper, jogada inteligente e que mudou o sentido do jogo. K ainda ataca com o Warwolf a face down mas era o Night Assailant que o destrói.
B activa Graceful e descarta DDWL e Sakuretsu. Faz um set e coloca uma S/T e passa.
K não tem nada para jogar e passa.
B usa um Smashing Ground no Assailant e ataca com o Reaper, mas fica numa Sakuretsu.
K usa um Exiled Force para se ver livre da face down, que se revela uma MoF, coloca uma S/T e passa.
B limita-se a colocar uma S/T enquanto que o K faz um set.
B flipa um Spirit Reaper, faz Crossout num Treeborn Frog, mas quando ataca com o Reaper o K activa Book of Moon.
K baixa um Mirage Dragon e ataca o Reaper face down e passa.
B faz Snatch Steal no Mirage e ataca com ela e com o Reaper fazendo o K perder a única carta que tinha na mão – Heavy Storm.
K limita-se a passar.
B volta a atacar com o Mirage e com o Reaper e desta vez faz descartar um Crossout (mas pk é que não o tinha colocado como S/T?)
K ainda consegue fazer Special Summon de Chaos Sorcerer, activa prioridade e remove o Reaper mas fica num Bottomless Trap Hole.
B ataca com o Mirage, activa Heavy Storm seguido de Book Of Moon para ficar com aquele, coloca uma S/T e passa.
K passa pk mais uma vez não lhe sai nada.
B usa Premature Burial para ir buscar DDWL e ataca com os dois, deixando o K com 1300 pontos de vida contra os seus 2200.
K ainda tenta atacar com um Enraged Battle Ox mas fica numa Sakuretsu.
Só restava ao B baixar Asura Priest e atacar com tudo para ganhar o primeiro jogo.

Foram os dois ao sideboard, mas como o Bartolo estava a demorar de mais ainda teve tempo de levar com “e depois os alentejanos é que são lentos” dito pelo Killer.

Começou o Killer e novamente usou Graceful o que imediamente motivou o sorriso amarelo do adversário. Descartou Zaborg e outra. Colocou uma S/T, activou Swords e passou.
B começou também o jogo com Graceful, descartando Dekoichi e Night Assailant e com um triunfal “até que enfim” foi novamente buscar o Dekoichi. Fez um set e colocou duas S/T e passou.
K fez Typhoon num Book Moon e passou.
B voltou a fazer um set e deu a vez.
K baixou um Enraged Battle Ox com o qual destruiu um Dekoichi, para logo de seguida o B tributar Exiled Force e destruí-lo.
K usou Premature Burial no Ox para logo um Dust Tornado o impedir. Fez um set, colocou duas S/T e passou.
B usou Call Haunted para novamente usar Exiled Force e destruir um Assailant. Flipou um Sangan e atacou com ele. Colocou um S/T e passou.
K imitou-o e com Call Haunted e foi buscar Zaborg. Usou Smashing Ground no Sangan, aproveitando o B para ir buscar MoF, mas quando ia atacar levou com Scapegoat.
B fez um set, colocou uma S/T e passou.
K usou Exiled para se ver livre de uma MoF, atacou um goat para tinha uma Sakuretsu à espera.
B passou e o mesmo fez o K.
B baixou Spirit Reaper, atacou e fez o K descartar Bottomless Trap Hole.
Este limitou-se a colocar um S/T e passou.
O B voltou a pressionar com o Reaper mas ficou numa Sakuretsu. Fez um set e passou.
K voltou a colocar uma S/T e passou.
B flipa outro Reaper e ataca mas K activa Book Moon.
Na sua vez activa Crossout para se ver livre do Reaper, coloca uma S/T e passa.
B baixa o seu terceiro Reaper consecutivo o que leva o Killer ao desespero e ataca, fazendo-o descartar Mobius.
K já pouco pode fazer e coloca uma S/T e passa.
B coloca Reaper em defesa, faz mais um set e passa.
K ataca com uma DDWL e remove o Reaper. Faz Crossout num Tomato e passa.
B volta a fazer um set e passa enquanto que K coloca apenas uma S/T.
B tributa então o seu monstro por um Jinzo, vai buscar Chaos Sorcerer e ataca com tudo, deixando o K com 900 pontos de vida contra os seus 7300.
K ainda usa um Smashing no Sorcerer e passa, mas como só tem traps para o defender na jogada seguinte o Bartolo ataca para jogo e match.

Jogo simples para o Bartolo, que usando um estilo de jogo mais conservador foi controlando o Killer que gastou muitos recursos em jogadas pouco importantes, num estilo muito agressivo mas pouco eficaz contra este tipo de jogadores.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Destiny Hero - Doom Lord [Effect Monster]
Once per turn, if this card is in face-up Attack Position on your side of the field, you can remove from play 1 of your opponent's monsters. The player who used this effect cannot declare an attack this turn, and the removed monster will be returned to the opponent's side of the field in the same battle position during your second Standby Phase after activation.

This is an Ignition Effect.

You can select a face-up or face-down monster to remove from play.

Returning the monster to play cannot be chained to. The monster will return to play during your 2nd Standby Phase even if "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" is no longer on the field.

You can activate "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord's" effect even if your Battle Phase is going to be skipped because of a card effect like "Soul Exchange".

If you declared an attack then you cannot activate "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord's" effect this turn, even if your only attack was negated.

If all 5 of your opponent's Monster Card Zones are full when the removed monster would return to play, it is destroyed.

Destiny Hero - Captain Tenacious [Effect Monster]
Once per turn, while this card is face-up on your side of the field, if a monster on your side of the field that includes "Destiny Hero" in its card name (except this card) is destroyed as a result of battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon that 1 monster to your side of the field during your next Standby Phase.

This effect activates during your Standby Phase, so "Destiny Hero - Captain Tenacious" must be face-up on the field at that time to Special Summon the "Destiny Hero" monster. This effect does not activate when your "Destiny Hero" monster is destroyed.

"Divine Wrath" can be chained to "Destiny Hero - Captain Tenacious's" effect when it activates during your Standby Phase.

Each "Destiny Hero - Captain Tenacious" can Special Summon 1 monster during your Standby Phase, so if you have 2 "Destiny Hero - Captain Tenacious" face-up on the field and 2 "Destiny Hero" monsters in your Graveyard that were destroyed as a result of battle since your last Standby Phase, you can activate and resolve their effects one at a time.

Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude [Effect Monster]
While this card is face-up on your side of the field, once per turn you can look at the top card of your Deck. If the card is a Normal Spell Card, send it to the Graveyard and you can activate the Normal Spell Card during the Main Phase of your next turn. If the card is not a Normal Spell Card, place it on the bottom of your Deck.

"Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" doesn't actually activate the Normal Spell card itself. Instead, he just activates its effect. So the Spell Card remains in the Graveyard.

Since you are only activating the Normal Spell Card's effect, and not the Normal Spell Card itself, you do not pay costs and you do not have to meet any activation requirements. For example, you would not pay 1000 Life Points for "Confiscation", or discard 1 card for "Monster Reincarnation", or need a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" on the field to activate the effect of "Burst Stream of Destruction".

Since the Spell Card itself is not activated (only its effect is), your opponent cannot chain "Magic Jammer", "Dark Deal", "Barrel Behind the Door" or any other card that has to be chained to the activation of a Spell Card.

When you resolve "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude's" effect you (1) reveal the top card of your Deck, then (2A) send it to your Graveyard if it is a Normal Spell Card or (2B) return it to the top of your Deck if it's not. Activating that Spell Card's effect during your next turn is not activating "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude's" effect at that time. Even if "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" is not on the field during your next turn's Main Phases, you can still activate the effect of that Normal Spell Card.

"Divine Wrath" can be chained to "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude's" Ignition Effect when it is activated. You cannot chain "Divine Wrath" to the activation of the Normal Spell Card's effect during the next Main Phase (because "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude's" effect is not activating at that time.)

You can choose not to activate the Normal Spell Card during your next turn if you do not want to.

The Normal Spell Card's effect activates in the Graveyard. So its effect will not be negated by "Spell Canceller".

If the Normal Spell Card is no longer in your Graveyard during your next turn, you cannot activate its effect.

If the effect of the Normal Spell Card targets, you cannot activate the effect unless there is an eligible target on the field.

If "Swords of Revealing Light" is sent to the Graveyard by this effect you can activate it, but only its effect that flips monsters face-up will apply. It will not stop the opponent's monsters from attacking because it is not on the field.

You cannot activate the effect of "Curse of Fiend", because it can only be activated during the Standby Phase.

If you have activated the effect of "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" and he is flipped face-down, then face-up again in the same turn, you can activate his effect again.

Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster [Effect Monster]
If this card was Special Summoned by the effect of "Clock Tower Prison", destroy all monsters on your side of the field (except for "Destiny Hero" monsters), then you can Special Summon up to 2 "Destiny Hero" monsters from your Graveyard. During the turn this card is Special Summoned, "Destiny Hero" monsters on your side of the field cannot be destroyed, and all Battle Damage inflicted to the controller of this card becomes 0 during battle involving "Destiny Hero" monsters on your side of the field. The ATK and DEF of this card are equal to the combined original ATK of all "Destiny Hero" monsters on your side of the field (except this card).

"Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster's" second sentence is applied if he is Special Summoned by any method, not just by the effect of "Clock Tower Prison".

"Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster's" first effect (to destroy your non-"Destiny Hero" monsters and Special Summon 2 "Destiny Hero" monsters) is a Trigger Effect and his other effects are Continuous Effects.

Destroying all your non-"Destiny Hero" monsters and Special Summoning 2 "Destiny Hero" monsters is resolved in the same chain link. Even if you have no monsters that will be destroyed you still get to Special Summon 2 "Destiny Hero" monsters.

If "Royal Oppression" is face-up on the field you can activate its effect to negate the Special Summon of "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster" when he is Special Summoned by the effect of "Clock Tower Prison". If your "Royal Oppression" is face-down when "Clock Tower Prison" is destroyed, you can chain its activation (flipping it face-up) to the effect of "Clock Tower Prison". "Royal Oppression" will resolve first, and be face-up when "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster" is Special Summoned, and then you can activate its the effect of "Royal Oppression" when "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster" is Special Summoned in order to negate the Special Summon.

Cyber Tutu [Effect Monster]
If the ATK of each monster on your opponent's side of the field is higher than the ATK of this card, this card can attack your opponent's Life Points directly.

"Cyber Tutu's" effect is a Continuous Effect; it cannot be chained to.

"Cyber Tutu" cannot attack directly if the opponent controls any face-down monsters.

If "Cyber Tutu" uses her effect to attack directly, you can activate "Rush Recklessly" during the DAMAGE STEP, and even if it raises her ATK higher than the ATK of an opponent's monster a replay will not occur. But if you activate "Rush Recklessly" during the BATTLE STEP, a replay will occur.

Cyber Gymnast [Effect Monster]
Once per turn, by discarding 1 card from your hand, destroy 1 face-up Attack Position monster on your opponent's side of the field.

This effect targets 1 face-up Attack Position monster. If an effect is chained to change the target to anything other than face-up Attack Position, then the targeting conditions are no longer correct and it will not be destroyed.

Cyber Kirin [Effect Monster]
By Tributing this card, until the end of this turn, any effect damage inflicted to the controller of this card becomes 0.

"Cyber Kirin's" effect is an Ignition Effect, so you can only activate it during your own Main Phases.

Cyber Phoenix [Effect Monster]
While this card is in face-up Attack Position on your side of the field, negate the effects of any Spell or Trap Card that targets 1 Machine-Type monster on your side of the field. When this face-up card on the field attacks or is attacked, and it is destroyed as a result of battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can draw 1 card from your Deck.

This card's first effect is a Continuous Effect and its second effect is a Trigger Effect.

"Cyber Phoenix's" Continuous Effect will not negate cards that have 2 targets, such as "Penguin Soldier" or "Mystic Box".

Searchlightman [Effect Monster]
FLIP: Your opponent cannot Set (or flip face-down) any cards for the rest of this turn.

If "Searchlightman's" Flip Effect is activated, and then later "Cyber Jar's" Flip Effect is activated, all appropriate monsters picked-up by your opponent will have to be Special Summoned in face-up Attack Position.

Victory Viper XX03 [Effect Monster]
When this card destroys an opponent's monster as a result of battle, select and activate 1 of the following effects:
●Increase the ATK of this card by 400 points.
●Destroy 1 face-up Spell or Trap Card on the field.
●Special Summon 1 "Option Token" to your side of the field. It always has the same Type, Attribute, Level, ATK and DEF as this card.

If "Victory Viper XX03" leaves the field or is flipped face-down, all of its Option Tokens disappear. (Note that they are not "destroyed".)

"Victory Viper XX03's" effect activates during the Damage Step when the monster it destroys in battle is sent to the Graveyard.

Swift Birdman Joe [Effect Monster]
If you Tribute Summon this card by Tributing a WIND monster, return all Spell and Trap Cards on the field to the owners' hands.

This effect is a Trigger Effect that can be chained to.

Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon [Effect Monster]
This card accumulates effects according to the number of monsters on your side of the field that include "Harpie" in their names (other than "Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon" and "Harpie's Brother"). At least 1: While this card is face-up on the field, your opponent cannot select monsters on your side of the field as attack targets if they include "Harpie" in their card names (other than "Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon" and "Harpie's Brother"). At least 2: Double the original ATK and DEF of this card. At least 3: Once per turn, you can destroy 1 card on your opponent's side of the field.

These effects accumulate, so if you have 3 "Harpie Lady" on the field all 3 effects are applied. Only face-up Harpies count, though.

If you activate the 3rd effect of "Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon" and the opponent chains an effect to destroy 1 of your other "Harpie" monsters, leaving you with only 2, the effect still resolves properly because the conditions were correct when it was activated.

Majestic Mech - Senku [Effect Monster]
If this card attacks your opponent's Life Points directly, draw 1 card from your Deck. This card is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase of the turn it was Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned or Special Summoned.

If a "Majestic Mech" is face-down during the End Phase, its effect cannot activate so it will not be destroyed. But it remembers when it was Summoned, even if flipped face-down. So if you Summon a "Majestic Mech - Senku", flip it face-down, then flip it face-up again during the same turn, it will be destroyed by its effect.

The effect of "Majestic Mech - Senku" that destroys itself only activates during the End Phase of the turn it was Summoned. If it manages to remain on the field longer than that, it will not destroy itself during any following End Phase.

If "Skill Drain" is active during the End Phase, it will negate the effects of a "Majestic Mech" so the "Majestic Mech" will not destroy itself.

The effect of a "Majestic Mech" to destroy itself is a Trigger Effect that starts a chain.

"Majestic Mech - Senku's" first effect is also a Trigger Effect that can be chained to.

Majestic Mech - Ohka [Effect Monster]
You can Normal Summon this card without Tributing a monster. If you Normal Summon it this way, it is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase.
Majestic Mech - Goryu [Effect Monster]
You can Normal Summon this card by Tributing 1 monster. If you Normal Summon it this way, it is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase. During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points.

Flipping "Majestic Mech - Ohka" or "Majestic Mech - Goryu" face-down will not reset their memory of how they were Summoned. So if you Normal Summoned them with fewer Tributes by using their effect, they will still be destroyed by their effect during the End Phase even if they have been flipped face-down since being Summoned. (However, as long as they are face-down DURING the End Phase, their effect will not activate during that End Phase.)

The effect of "Majestic Mech - Ohka" and "Majestic Mech - Goryu" that destroys itself will activate during the End Phase of every turn (if they were Normal Summoned with fewer Tributes by using their effect).

If "Skill Drain" is active during the End Phase, it will negate the effects of a "Majestic Mech" so the "Majestic Mech" will not destroy itself.

The effect of a "Majestic Mech" to destroy itself is a Trigger Effect that can be chained to.

Royal Knight [Effect Monster]
When this card destroys a monster as a result of battle and sends it to the Graveyard, increase your Life Points by the DEF of the destroyed monster.

For its effect to activate, "Royal Knight" must be on the field when the monster it destroyed is sent to the Graveyard. Its effect will not activate if it battles a monster with equal ATK and they are both destroyed.

Herald of Green Light [Effect Monster]
Send this card and 1 other Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Negate the activation of your opponent's Spell Card and destroy it. This effect can be activated during either player's turn.

"Herald of the Green Light's" effect is a multi-Trigger effect so it can be activated during the Damage Step.

If "Banisher of the Radiance" or "Macro Cosmos" is face-up on the field, you cannot activate "Herald of the Green Light's" effect because you cannot send it and another Fairy-Type monster to the Graveyard for the cost.

"Herald of the Green Light's" effect will not be negated by the effect of "The End of Anubis" because it doesn't activate in the Graveyard.

Herald of the Purple Light [Effect Monster]
Send this card and 1 other Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Negate the activation of your opponent's Trap Card and destroy it. This effect can be activated during either player's turn.

"Herald of the Purple Light's" effect is a multi-Trigger effect so it can be activated during the Damage Step. Since it has a Spell Speed of 2 it cannot be chained to the activation of a Counter Trap Card.

If "Banisher of the Radiance" or "Macro Cosmos" is face-up on the field you cannot activate "Herald of the Purple Light's" effect because you cannot send it and another Fairy-Type monster to the Graveyard for the cost.

"Herald of the Purple Light's" effect will not be negated by the effect of "The End of Anubis" because it doesn't activate in the Graveyard.

Bountiful Artemis [Effect Monster]
While this card is face-up on the field, draw 1 card from your Deck each time a Counter Trap Card is activated.

The effect of "Bountiful Artemis" is a Continuous Effect, and cannot be chained to. You will draw 1 card immediately after a Counter Trap's effects have resolved.

Your "Bountiful Artemis's" effect will activate even if your opponent is the one who activated the Counter Trap.

If "Seven Tools of the Bandit" is used to negate the activation of another Trap Card, such as "Magic Jammer", you will not draw a card for "Magic Jammer" since its activation was negated.

Layard the Liberator [Effect Monster]
While this card is face-up on the field, add 2 of your removed from play Fairy-Type monsters to your hand each time a Counter Trap Card is activated.

The effect of "Layard the Liberator" is a Continuous Effect, and cannot be chained to. You will add 2 of your Fairy-Type monsters to your hand immediately after a Counter Trap's effects have resolved.

"Layard the Liberator's" effect will not activate if you have only 1 Fairy-Type monster removed from play.

This effect targets 2 Fairy-Type monsters.

Voltanis the Adjudicator [Effect Monster]
After 1 of your Counter Trap Cards has been activated and has resolved, by Tributing all monsters on your side of the field, you can Special Summon this card. If this card is Special Summoned this way, you can destroy cards on your opponent's side of the field up to the number of Fairy-Type monsters you Tributed.

"Voltanis the Adjudicator" can be Special Summoned by its effect immediately after your Counter Trap's effects have resolved.

Tributing all your monsters to Special Summon "Voltanis the Adjudicator" is a cost. If you do not have at least 1 monster to Tribute, you cannot activate this effect.

"Voltanis's" effect does not target the cards you want to destroy

You cannot Special Summon "Voltanis the Adjudicator" if "Mask of Restrict" is active on the field.

Guard Dog [Effect Monster]
FLIP: Your opponent cannot Special Summon for the rest of this turn.

If your "Guard Dog's" Flip Effect resolves, and then later "Cyber Jar" is flipped face-up, your opponent will not be able to Special Summon any of the monsters they pick up, and any monsters that would normally be Special Summoned will be destroyed instead.

Avalanching Aussa [Effect Monster]
Once per turn, by Tributing 1 EARTH monster on your side of the field (except this card), Special Summon 1 EARTH monster from your hand. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed if "Avalanching Aussa" is removed from your side of the field.
Raging Eria, Blazing Hiita, and Storming Wynn

This card's effect is an Ignition Effect.

If this card is flipped face-down, any monsters Special Summoned by her effect will not be destroyed. If this card is destroyed while she is face-down, any monsters Special Summoned by her effect will not be destroyed.

If a monster Special Summoned by this card's effect is flipped face-down, it will not be destroyed when this card is destroyed.

Elemental Hero Mariner [Fusion Effect Monster]
"Elemental Hero Bubbleman" + "Elemental Hero Avian"
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. If you have any face-down cards in your Spell & Trap Card Zone, this card can attack your opponent's Life Points directly.

If you have a face-down Field Spell Card, but no face-down cards in your Spell & Trap Card Zones, you cannot attack directly with "Elemental Hero Mariner's" effect.

If your opponent controls a monster equipped with "Ring of Magnetism", then "Elemental Hero Mariner" cannot attack directly.

Elemental Hero Necroid Shaman [Fusion Effect Monster]
"Elemental Hero Wildheart" + "Elemental Hero Necroshade"
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card is Special Summoned, destroy 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field. Then select 1 monster from your opponent's Graveyard and Special Summon it to your opponent's side of the field.

The controller of "Elemental Hero Necroid Shaman" chooses which monster to Special Summon and what battle position to Special Summon it in.

If you did not destroy a monster with "Elemental Hero Necroid Shaman's" effect then you do not Special Summon a monster from your opponent's Graveyard.

Misfortune [Normal Spell Card]
Select 1 face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field to activate this card. Inflict damage to your opponent's Life Points equal to half the original ATK of the selected monster. Your monsters cannot attack this turn.

You can select your opponent's "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" for "Misfortune's" effect and the opponent will still take damage. This is because "Misfortune" has no effect on the monster you select.

R - Righteous Justice [Normal Spell Card]
Destroy Spell or Trap Cards on the field equal to the number of face-up cards on your side of the field that include "Elemental Hero" in their card names.

Count the number of "Elemental Heroes" on your side of the field when the effect of "R - Righteous Justice" resolves.

"R - Righteous Justice" does not target.

If there are fewer Spell and Trap Cards to destroy on the field than the number of "Elemental Heroes" you control, then the effect of "R - Righteous Justice" disappears. You cannot choose to destroy "R - Righteous Justice" with its own effect.

HERO Flash!! [Normal Spell Card]
Remove from play these cards in your Graveyard to activate this card: "H - Heated Heart", "E - Emergency Call", "R - Righteous Justice" and "O - Oversoul". Special Summon 1 Normal Monster from your Deck that includes "Elemental Hero" in its card name. This turn, Normal Monsters on your side of the field that include "Elemental Hero" in their card names can attack your opponent's Life Points directly.

"HERO Flash!!" only affects "Elemental Hero" Normal Monsters that are on the field when it resolves.

Even if you are unable to Special Summon an "Elemental Hero" Normal Monster from your Deck, your "Elemental Hero" Normal Monsters can still attack directly.

Power Capsule [Normal Spell Card]
Select 1 face-up "Victory Viper XX03" on your side of the field to activate this card. Select 1 effect of "Victory Viper XX03", and apply the effect as this card's effect.

You select 1 "Victory Viper XX03" at activation of "Power Capsule", but you select which of its effects to apply at resolution of "Power Capsule".

Celestial Transformation [Quick-Play Spell Card]
Special Summon 1 Fairy-Type monster from your hand. Halve the ATK of that monster and destroy it during the End Phase.

If the monster Special Summoned with "Celestial Transformation" is flipped face-down, then it is not destroyed during the End Phase.

You can activate "Torrential Tribute" after a monster is Special Summoned with the effect of "Celestial Transformation".

Guard Penalty [Quick-Play Spell Card]
Select 1 monster on the field. If the selected monster is changed to Defense Position this turn, draw 1 card from your Deck.

You can only draw 1 card from "Guard Penalty's" effect. You draw 1 card the first time the selected monster is changed to Defense Position. Drawing the 1 card cannot be chained to.

You draw 1 card even if the selected monster is changed from face-up Attack Position to face-down Defense Position.

Grand Convergence [Quick-Play Spell Card]
You can only activate this card while "Macro Cosmos" is on your side of the field. Inflict 300 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points and destroy all monsters on the field.

Inflicting 300 damage and destroying all monsters on the field are both resolved at the same time.

If the 300 damage would be reduced to 0 by the effect of "Des Wombat" or "Pikeru's Circle of Enchantment", "Grand Convergence" can still be activated and all monsters on the field will still be destroyed.

If an effect that destroys "Macro Cosmos" or removes it from the field is chained to "Grand Convergence", the effects of "Grand Convergence" will still resolve because the activation conditions were correct when it was activated.

Dimensional Fissure [Continuous Spell Card]
Any monster sent to the Graveyard is removed from play instead.

While "Dimensional Fissure" is active, a monster that is destroyed while face-down will still be removed from play face-up.

Since Monster Cards are removed from play instead of going to the Graveyard, you cannot not send "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" to the Graveyard to activate its effect to level up.

Clock Tower Prison [Field Spell Card]
Put 1 Clock Counter on this card during each of your opponent's Standby Phases. While there are 4 or more Clock Counters on this card, the controller of this card does not receive any Battle Damage. When this card with 4 or more Clock Counters is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster" from your hand or Deck.

Putting a Clock Counter on "Clock Tower Prison" can be chained to. The effect to Special Summon "Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster" can also be chained to. The effect that stops Battle Damage is a Continuous Effect that cannot be chained to.

If "Clock Tower Prison" with 4 or more Clock Counters is destroyed because a new Field Spell Card is activated, "Clock Tower Prison's" effect will activate.

If "Spell Canceller" is Summoned or "Imperial Order" is activated, all the Clock Counters will be removed from "Clock Tower Prison".

Destruction of Destiny [Normal Trap Card]
Send 3 cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard, and take 1000 points of damage for each Spell or Trap Card you sent to the Graveyard by this effect.

Sending 3 cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard is part of the effect of "Destruction of Destiny". It is not a cost.

You cannot activate "Destruction of Destiny" if you have less than 3 cards in your Deck.

All the damage is dealt in a single sum. So if you send 3 Spell or Trap Cards you take 3000 damage, not 1000 damage three times.

Icarus Attack [Normal Trap Card]
By Tributing 1 Winged Beast-Type monster on your side of the field, destroy 2 cards on the field.

"Icarus Attack" targets 2 cards. Even if 1 of the target cards is a Spell or Trap and it is activated in a chain, both cards will still be destroyed.

You cannot choose "Icarus Attack" itself for 1 of its 2 targets.

Elemental Absorber [Continuous Trap Card]
Remove from play 1 Monster Card in your hand. While this card is on the field, your opponent's monsters that have the same Attribute as the monster removed by this effect cannot declare an attack.

Removing from play 1 Monster Card in your hand is not a cost. It is part of the effect of "Elemental Absorber".

You only remove from play 1 Monster Card from your hand and when "Elemental Absorber" resolves. You can't remove additional cards later. You can't remove from play more than 1 card when "Elemental Absorber" resolves.

Macro Cosmos [Continuous Trap Card]
You can Special Summon 1 "Helios - The Primordial Sun" from your hand or Deck. While this card is on the field, any card sent to the Graveyard is removed from play instead.

You can activate "Macro Cosmos" even if you don't have "Helios - The Primordial Sun" in your hand or Deck.

You can only Special Summon "Helios - The Primordial Sun" when "Macro Cosmos" first resolves. It is not an effect that you can activate at any time or more than once.

If "Mystical Space Typhoon" is chained to "Macro Cosmos's" activation to destroy it, then you will not Special Summon "Helios - The Primordial Sun". Because "Macro Cosmos" is a Continuous Trap Card, it needs to remain on the field to resolve.

While "Macro Cosmos" is active on the field, monsters that are unaffected by the effects of Trap Cards (like "Elemental Hero Wildheart") are still removed from play instead of going to the Graveyard.

Forced Back [Counter Trap Card]
Negate the Normal Summon or Flip Summon of a monster and return the monster to its owner's hand.

You cannot activate this card when a monster is Set.

If a monster with a Flip Effect is Flip Summoned and you activate "Forced Back", then the Flip Effect never activates.

If you negate the Normal or Flip Summon of "Dark Magician of Chaos" with "Forced Back", it is returned to the hand and is not removed from play.
