continous effect

Hi, I’m Patrick and today I will be discussing ‘Continuous Effect’ cards.

[color=#FF0000][center][b][size=18]Introduction[/size][/b][/center][/color]

[justify]Continuous effect is considered as the fastest in comparison with other effects. The reason why it is as stated is because it does not activate and automatically resolves when the requirements are met.

[b]Note number 1:[/b] Continuous effect cards are not easy to control; however, it is controllable via their effect requirements.

[b]Note number 2:[/b] Even when a chain is on play, the effect of the continuous card is not subsidiary with it because as I said, it activates upon met requirements.[/justify]

[color=#FFFF00][b][size=14]Example number 1:[/size][/b][/color]

[justify]Player A controls a Malefic Blue-eyes White Dragon and he wants to exchange his field spell from Necrovalley to Malefic World in order to summon Malefic Truth Dragon; however, player B says that Malefic Blue-Eyes Dragon will be destroyed because as the effect of Malefic Blue-eyes White Dragon states:[/justify]

[quote]If there is no face-up Field Spell Card on the field, destroy this card.[/quote]

[justify]As player B explains this, player A decided to act as a mentally challenged individual and retaliated with hurtful, and defamatory words to player B and because of this, a Dueling Network in-game administrator was called to resolve this problem.

[b]Administrative Decision:[/b] Administrator will then say that player A is wrong and that player B was right. Apart from that, player A will also receive a game loss and an oral warning for such antiques from player A unless found out that it was a major harassment or severe, it would lead to a ban.

[b]Conclusion:[/b] The reason why Malefic Blue-eyes White Dragon would be destroyed is because upon the destruction of the Field Spell (Proper: Remove from the field, set the new Field Spell first, and then flipped face-up), the old Field Spell undeniably lost its effect (Also noted that it is no longer in play or in field or controlled by player A) and was replaced with the new Field Spell (Applicable for cards that do not trigger in grave/banish) and that is when the said monster’s effect: “If there is no face-up Field Spell Card on the field, destroy this card.” kicks in.[/justify]

[color=#FFFF00][b][size=14]Example number 2:[/size][/b][/color]

[justify]Player A controls an Ojama King and an Ojama Knight thus all monster zones in the field of player B’s are officially unavailable for usage. Player B activates Book of Moon to flip Ojama King face down and then summoned a Tuner to prepare for a Synchro summon; however, player A plays Book of Taiyou in order to flip Ojama King back to face up again and states that Ojama King’s effect resolves and blocks 2 monster zones. A debate once again started and an administrator was called in as the mediator for the deliberation.

[b]Administrative Decision:[/b] The administrator will state that the effect of Ojama King is continuous and as said in its mechanics, the effect will be applied IF and ONLY IF the requirements are met so when one of the monster zones have been occupied, Ojama King already ‘missed’ the opportunity to block 3 monster zones for its effect to apply.[/justify]

[color=#FFFF00][b][size=14]Example number 3:[/size][/b][/color]

[justify]Player A has 4 cards in hand (One of them is Mystical Space Typhoon) and has a face down Dark Bribe. Player B controls a Fabled Unicore and has 2 cards in hand; player B also has a facedown Reckless Greed.

Player A activates Mystical Space Typhoon in order to destroy Reckless Greed, player B chains Reckless Greed, then player A chained Dark Bribe so as the chain resolves, what will happen? Please post your answer as I want to see how many people would get this correct.[/justify]
