The effect of "Michizure" is fairly straightforward, but there are many ways to "miss the timing" to activate this card (more details below). "Michizure" cannot be activated when your monster is:
- a token that was destroyed (since tokens cannot be sent to the Graveyard)
- was banished (removed from play) instead of being sent to the Graveyard
- tributed by your or your opponent's card effect
- tributed for a Tribute Summon
- used in a Synchro Summon
- destroyed during the Damage Step by a card effect (i.e. Your opponent's "Red Dragon Archfiend" attacks your defense position monster and destroys it because of its effect)
The reason why "Michizure" cannot be activated when your monster is tributed or used in a Sychro Summon is because you miss the timing (the subject of which can be very confusing at times). In a Tribute Summon or a Synchro Summon, the last action that took place was a new monster being summoned. The time to activate "Michizure" would have been the instant your monster(s) left the field and before you summoned the new one. But since you cannot activate a card in the middle of a sequence like that, you miss the timing.
As for the reason why "Michizure" cannot be activated during the Damage Step when your monster is destroyed by an effect, I cannot give a concise reason why.
"Michizure" can be activated when your monster is:
- destroyed by battle
- destroyed or sent to Graveyard by a card effect; as long as this was the last action to take place (otherwise you miss the timing)
The following rulings made about "Michizure" may or may not be true. See "Card Rulings on Michizure" in the Related Links section below for more information:
- You cannot activate "Michizure" if your monster was destroyed in the middle of a chain was resolving
(For example: You have "Michizure" and "Mystical Space Typhoon" (MST) face-down. You activate MST targeting one of your opponent's Spell/Trap and your opponent chains with "Ring of Destruction" targeting your face-up monster. When the chain resolves, first your monster will be destroyed by "Ring" (and both players will lose Life Points), then MST will destroy the Spell/Trap. You cannot activate "Michizure" because your monster being destroyed wasn't the last event to occur.)
- You can activate "Michizure" if your opponent controlled your monster when it was sent from the field to the Graveyard
Trap Stun will resolve first, and then your trap's effect will be negated when it tries to resolve, the card will go to the graveyard.
Yes, Trap Hole targets the monster you use it against.
No.
Only if the counter card says it does, otherwise it doesn't. So use cards like "Trap Jammer" and stuff like that P.S. Dust Tornado is not a counter card, look for a symbol that looks like an arrow. That is next to where it tells you if its a spell or trap.
You could use a Counter Trap against it. It is unable to use its Spell Speed 2 Quick Effect against a Counter Trap.
Trap Stun will resolve first, and then your trap's effect will be negated when it tries to resolve, the card will go to the graveyard.
Yes, it doesn't matter if more than one monster is sent to the graveyard by a particular source, Michizure can be used.
The cast of Michizure - 2014 includes: Motoki Ochiai
Yes, Trap Hole targets the monster you use it against.
As long as you are in the Battle Phase, then yes, you could use Trap Jammer against Crush Card Virus.
A trap card in the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game is a great way to change the out come of a duel. They are the pink cards. For example kunai with chain. To use a trap card you have to place it from your hand into one of the spell/trap card zones. You can place as many as you want per turn, but only up to five traps can be on your side of the field at any time. You can usually use traps during your opponents turn, for example, if you placed the card Mirror Force in a trap card zone during your turn, and your opponent tries to attack one of your monsters, you can reveal your Mirror Force trap card to negate the attack and destroy all of your opponent's monsters! As said before, you can usually only activate a trap card on your opponent's turn. If you set a trap card you can use it once your turn ends and your opponent does what is necessary to activate it. When you finish using the trap card it goes into your Graveyard. You can use as many traps as you want during a round, just like you can place as many you want during a round. Unlike Spell cards, trap cards must be set down before you can use them. You cannot use them directly from your hand.
I'm afraid you can't. you would have to use michizure as soon as dark hole is sent to the graveyard. By the time your opponent summons a monster it would be too late
Dust Tornado is a Normal Trap Card. It destroys one Spell or Trap Card on the field, then you can set 1 Spell or Trap Card.
A Normal Trap card is any trap that does not have a symbol after Trap Card (an infinity symbol for Continuous Trap, an arrow for Counter Trap).Normal Traps are spell speed 2, and go to the graveyard after they resolve.
You cannot discard your own continuous effect spell/trap card. It must be removed by card effect. Even if it is it's own effect. You can, however, choose not to use its effect. If you choose not to use its effect by not paying its cost, then the card is destroyed. If you choose not to use its optional effect, then it stays on the field until you choose to use it again. If you have a continuous effect card on the field, chances are that you wanted it there so destroying it yourself is kind of a moot point anyway. there are continuous trap and spell cards that has no cost for activating. you cannot disregard this effect if you don't destroy the card by another spell or trap card or at some point effects of monster cards. -shar0414-
No.
Yes, as long as the spell card is a Quickplay Spell, and the trap card is not a Counter Trap. So you cannot chain Monster Reborn to any trap. Nor can you chain Book of Moon to a Counter Trap, for example.
