It has been quite a time for me to write a blog, but some problems have bohered me in recent times in playing BS that is EFFECT ACTIVATION TIME.
Now let me give you two examples:
Example 1:
(a) At the end of your turn - (1) your lv 2 The Castle of Clever Machines activates its effect; (2) much to your luck it is a The CleverMachineMusha Saiun; (3) so you summon it at lv 2. The question is - does the Lv 2-3 effect of The CleverMachineMusha Saiun activate at that time? Some say yes- it activates at end turn, it is end turn now - hence yes. Some say no - since all effect that activates at end turn has already been activated hence you have lost the timing.
Example 2:
Similarly that happens with The GroundDeityBlade Ootenta - (1) when SoulDragon with no Soul Core (which is now in the trash) on it BUT braved with Ootenta attacks; (2) Hence when the Spirit attacks timing comes - at that time only Ootenta can activate its effect (SoulDragon's TwinBlade cannot activate); BUT after Ootenta activates - can SoulDragon attack effect activateafterwards?
There seemsto be no ruling & Q&A that can solve the question. Or is there any authoritative information on that?
