Junk collector ruling

Ruling for junk collector.



Activate by removing from play this face-up card you control and 1 Normal Trap Card in your Graveyard. This card's effect becomes the effect of the Normal Trap Card removed from play for this effect's activation. This effect can be activated during your opponent's turn.

-Activate by removing from play this face-up card you control and 1 Normal Trap Card in your Graveyard.

It is a cost to remove itself n the trap from game, cards like D.D crow & Raigeki break cannot be chain to the selected trap & monster respectively.

-This effect can be activated during your opponent's turn.

It can be chain to another card like how D.D crow, because if you cant chain it, its not possible to activate it on opponent's turn.

Cost might be ignored, but do take note the requirement & timing must be correct.

If there is any point that I miss out, please update me. Or if the ruling is wrong please tell me

Not affected by Skill Drain since self removal is cost =D

if i activate this card effect and target cards that has activation requirement.
wad would happen?

example of such card,
accumlated fortune.can jusst draw 2 or must wait till the requirement is reached?

Activation requirements must be met.. Example, Magical Explosion you still must have 0 hand, bottomless can only activate when opponent summon 1.5k atk above monster, etc

I beg a diff to this:

-This card's effect becomes the effect of the Normal Trap Card removed from play for this effect's activation.

It suppose to activate the effect ignoring the cost as the cost for activation is already paid(remove monster & trap) <- is the cost for activation... so it just use the effect. Correct me if im wrong

There is a reason why Makyura the Destructor is banned (quote from frien ;])
because it just ignore the activation cost...

Diamond dude:
Once per turn, you can reveal the top card of your Deck. If it is a Normal Spell Card, send it to the Graveyard and you can activate its effect during the Main Phase of your next turn.

Yeach...cost is paid...but u still need to meet the trap cards requirement....

This card is different from diamond dude....


Ｑ：｢通常罠のコスト｣｢発動条件｣は無視できますか？
Ａ：コストは支払う必要はありません。発動条件の場合はそれを満たしてないカードを除外して発動すること自体できません。(09/11/21)


Q: Does this card ignores the cost and requirement of the normal trap?
A: There is no need to pay the cost of activation. Activation requirement must be fullfill to use this card's effect.

Erm, yes, its wrong....You dont pay the cost, correct, but you still must meet activation requirements... Activation requirements and cost is 2 different things...

E.g.
By your logic, does it mean you can "bottomless" opponent anytime you want? Like he has a monster that is 1.5k attack, and you have junk collector. When he declares attack on you, you can just use junk collector effect, copy bottomless, and use on that monster?

Of course not!

If can next time people enter battle phase I can just copy tidal wave and clear whole field, or copy mirror force when he summons an attack mode brionac, etc etc. Heck, I can just copy starlight road and summon a stardust dragon. Just do some shine angel summon out junk collector, then remove with a starlight road and summon stardust dragon. STRONG!

yes i wan to confirm this...

wad about cards like Huge Revolution?

-This card can only be activated during your Main Phase, when "People Running About", "Oppressed People", and "United Resistance" are face-up on your side of the field. Send all cards in your opponent's hand to the Graveyard and destroy all cards your opponent controls on the field.

ignoring the requirement n just clear field & hand.

Direct Translate:
Q: A normal trap's cost and activation requirements can be ignored?
A: Cost does not have to be paid. Activation requirements however must still be fulfilled or you cannot remove junk collector to activate the card.

Taken from here

Enough said

Edit:
Extra service, also taken from the above website:

《大革命》や《風林火山》等のように発動条件が存在する場合はそれを無視することはできないので注意。
Direct Translate:
Big Revolution and Fu-Rin-Ken-Zan similar cards with such activation requirements cannot be ignored. Please note.

cost are "pay to play" cards,activation requirement doesnt make u pay

cost are like
pay LP
send/discard from hand
tribute cards

activation requirement only allows u to activate when certain timing are met

mirror force: when ur opp attack
trapdust shoot: when ur opp has 4+ cards in hand

Even though the source is reliable, I do not agree with that ruling. Perhaps it's better to seek clarification from Konami instead of Japanese YGO Wiki? Before I continue as to why Junk Collector activating Huge Revolution is logical, I'd like to break down Huge Revolution's card text.


This card can only be activated during your Main Phase, when "People Running About", "Oppressed People", and "United Resistance" are face-up on your side of the field. Send all cards in your opponent's hand to the Graveyard and destroy all cards your opponent controls on the field.

As we can see, the bolded parts shows the activation requirements, which in this case, requires three of the aforementioned monsters on the field, during the Main Phase. The latter unbolded part, is the card's EFFECT. Now let us remember this as we continue back to Junk Collector.


Then let us review Junk Collector's effect:
フィールド上に表側表示で存在するこのカードと自分の墓地に存在する通常罠カード１枚をゲームから除外して発動する。このカードの効果は、この効果を発動するためにゲームから除外した通常罠カードの効果と同じになる。この効果は相手ターンでも発動する事ができる。

Activate by removing from play this face-up card you control and 1 Normal Trap Card in your Graveyard. This card's effect becomes the effect of the Normal Trap Card removed from play for this effect's activation. This effect can be activated during your opponent's turn.

We'll break this down into parts so understanding this would be a simpler process. Firstly, we have the activation costs. In order to activate Junk Collector's effect, we would have remove both Junk Collector and a designated Trap Card in the grave from play. Once Junk Collector's effect is activated (with costs paid), Junk Collector's effect becomes the EFFECT of the Normal Trap Card that was removed (remember, we do not actually activate the removed from play Trap Card, we only COPY it's EFFECT). Continuing on, Junk Collector copies the EFFECT (No, not the card text, but rather, the effect )of the trap card. If you remember what we mentioned earlier on, the effect of Huge Revolution was the destruction involved, and not the activation requirements.

However if the Konami rulings state otherwise, I would then request for an errata because it's very confusing as it's not clear enough. Junk Collector's effect should then be:

Activate by removing from play this face-up card you control and 1 Normal Trap Card in your Graveyard. This card's effect becomes the effect of the Normal Trap Card removed from play for this effect's activation. This effect can be activated during your opponent's turn. You can only use a Trap Card with the correct timing.

I'm not good with words, but I stole it from "Bait Doll"


Force the activation of 1 face-down Trap Card. If the timing of the activation of the Trap Card is incorrect, negate the effect and destroy it. If it is not a Trap Card, it is returned to its original position. After this card is activated, it is placed into the Deck (not the Graveyard). Then shuffle the Deck.

Or you can just follow the ruling of a similar card.

http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Trap_of_Darkness

Well...

As simple logic would state.... Example, copy starlight road.

The effect states there, negate the m/t and destroy, then summon stardust. If going by your, activation requirement not required, then you can just summon stardust, dont even need to care about whether he activated any magic trap.

Same goes for Magician's Circle, dont need spellcaster to declare attack, you can just summon out magicians?

I still say most epic will still be copying tidal wave when opponent enter battle phase, or copying mirror force when theres a potential dangerous monster like Brionac. Our metagame will probably totally change

Hi, please help yourself by clicking here

I'm not asking you to provide an errata for me! I'm merely stating that it's logical for Junk Collector to be able to use it's effect.

@ davin

in card games we dont play by logic,rulings always > logic and its like that and we have to follow

only certain organisation's ruling too strong play by logic

LOL, okay. I'm not saying that the rulings are wrong! I'm just saying that it's confusing!

Like Masturbation Oso-need Viagra?

LOL, hatred carries on in new topic. (Note, no actual team names were mentioned so no faggots were insulted in the process)

@kyoju
Well, rulings are set by Japanese people who we dont even see, so we might not understand them. Some rulings I find weird also, like, why limit break is times 2 not times 4, why is it only restricted to 1 and not unrestricted, etc. But you cant win them all right?

Seriously though, usually when there is a paste of some japanese text, its normally equals to dont need argue liao. Especially when the source is given and its not some random japanese guy blog, lol.

..... Why you paste all the things which I had already given the link for?

if you still dont believe then wait for the official ruling to be updated loh.

Actually... The Japanese wiki site I gave is about as official as it gets...

Worse is this card will confirm have to wait quite long for English version. So no English rulings that everyone can understand anytime soon...

but he wants to see the official,the real official konami website mah(even though we know wiki is as official like what you said),what to do?

Good luck to you then. The official Konami site itself doesnt show any rulings, thats a fact since YGO started. It just has like a basic database kinda idea, but nothing really detailed
