| How does the legal Obelisk the Tormentor work?
Source - http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Obelisk_the_Tormentor
You must Tribute 3 monsters to Normal Summon this card (you cannot Set this card). The Normal Summon of this card cannot be negated. When this card is Normal Summoned, Spells, Traps, and Effect Monster effects cannot be activated. This card cannot be targeted by the effects of Spells, Traps or Effect Monsters. If this card is Special Summoned, it is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase. You can Tribute 2 monsters to destroy all monsters your opponent controls. This card cannot declare an attack the turn this effect is activated.
Red Bolded sentence - 1. Does it mean that if this card is on the field (if summoned normally) and no players can activate any Spells, Traps and Effect Monster? Reason: It already stated earlier that the normal summon cannot be negated and it cannot be targeted by effects of spells, traps and effects monsters. So that effect is = to Jinzo + Horus?
Another scenario: That effect = Magic, Traps and Effect monsters only cannot be activated at the point of it being summon. This one doesn't make sense because it already stated the sentences before and after that it cannot be target by any spells, traps and effect. (See the yellow sentences) So repeating the effect in a different use of words is illogical.
It's very confusing.
This topic is open for discussion. | |

The sentence literally mean no spell, trap or effect monster effect can be activated the turn Obelisk is normal summoned. You need to read the context carefully. It's the same as Monarch or one time effect synchro monster. | |

However, shouldn't the card description could be more clearer and said: "During the turn this card is Normal Summoned, Spells, Traps, and Effect Monster effects cannot be activated." If it's "When this card is Normal Summoned, Spells, Traps, and Effect Monster effects cannot be activated.", it could be anything lol. | |

| Yeah, I know. That is why I hate Konami for making vague sentence. Probably cut short the sentence for some space. | |

| Both of you need to get your facts right. It is not stated as the turn for a reason. It is because it IS only for the moment that it is summoned, not for the entire turn.
Meaning, you cannot bottomless trap hole, torrential tribute, or any other random effect that activates just as it is SUMMONED.
However, once it is passed the summoned stage, you are free to do anything to it. AKA, mirror force on it, spiked ceiling, lick it, chew it, etc etc. As long as it does not go against the cannot be targetted effect, it is fine... | |

| Woah, if it's like that, then Obelisk is very vunerable and 3 tributes not worth it.
What about the 2nd yellow effect? "This card cannot be targeted by the effects of Spells, Traps or Effect Monsters."
Does bottomless trap hole still work against it?
If bottomless trap hole (target trap) cannot target Obelisk, mass effect like dark hole and mirror force can still destroy it right?
So now, is the group of effect like this? (Green text = 1 group, Yellow text = 1 group)
1. The Normal Summon of this card cannot be negated. (Summon only) 2. When this card is Normal Summoned, Spells, Traps, and Effect Monster effects cannot be activated. (Summon only) 3. This card cannot be targeted by the effects of Spells, Traps or Effect Monsters. (As long on the field)

| BTH does not target.
Activate only when your opponent Summons a monster(s) with 1500 or more ATK. Destroy and remove from play the monster(s).
See the plural?
Oh my bad, I thought it last for a turn, never though it only the time it is summoned that it is immuned to everything. Since mirror force, dark hole, lightning vortex does not target, it can destroy Obelisk.

| Oh yeah, I missed the plural for bottomless trap hole.
What about the normal Trap Hole? http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Trap_Hole
Dark armed dragon effect and man-eater bug can't kill it too right? | |

| Trap Hole can't kill it because of this Obelisk Effect. When this card is Normal Summoned, Spells, Traps, and Effect Monster effects cannot be activated.
DAD and Man Eater Bug can't kill it because they target and destroy. | |

| The Normal Summon of this card cannot be negated. - means you can't Solemn/Divine Warning
When this card is Normal Summoned, Spells, Traps, and Effect Monster effects cannot be activated. - Means you cannot activate Traphole of all kinds or Torrential Tribute or anything that has activation related to a summon or any random card that u wanna activate at this point such as book of moon even though there is no reason to.
This card cannot be targeted by the effects of Spells, Traps or Effect monster - This is in english and can't be simplified anymore.
Awesome sounding yes, but when you opponent use smashing ground next turn, you can face palm. | |

| LATEST NEWS | Dear members,
Be sure to post a message once you have been registered. As I had just cleared 100+ member with no post in the forum. I am trying to keep the forum neat and tidy. Those users who just create an account to just come in to look and see, I am sorry but I have deleted the account. I would believe only the trading post is will be viewable to members so there should be a need for a guest to create an account to see what events we are having.
Also take note that TRADING THREADs are going to be auto prune everyday. Condition will be a post every 7 days else it will be deleted. Again its to keep neat and tidy in the forum.
Thanks for understanding. |
