Mezuki/Diabolicguy's RFG effect

It is a cost, but can you chain to the activation of its effect? Mezuki's ruling says:

-The effect is an Ignition Effect, so you can only activate it during your Main Phase.

-Removing itself from play is a cost to activate the effect.

You can chain to an Ignition Effect right? So let's say I chain D.D. Crow to Diabolic/Mezuki when its effect is activated. D.D. Crow is higher up on the chain, resolves first and outs the Mezuki/Diabolic before its effect can resolve. Diabolic/Mezuki remains RFG and no monster is special summoned correct?

You CANNOT chain to a cost... Haven't I told you that before?

I know that la... The thing is, the effect has to ACTIVATE before the cost is paid correct? You chain to the EFFECT, not the cost.

You declare to play a card, pay the cost, then the effect is put on the chain.

u cannot chain...
lets say opponent ready to attack me with his whole field of terrors.
suddenly u say u chain diabolic out and appear a diabolic ZZZ

NO u cannot chain to DD crow!!!

Do you mind explaining your example? It appears to NOT make sense in any angle I see it.

Chill. I didn't create this thread to get people insulting each other. I want answers. What I'm asking is that: can I chain to Diabolic's activation of effect with D.D. Crow?

So far answer from sp1nn3r=You can't chain to it.

NO..

to spinner: i give this example cos he asked if crow chain to diabolic , can i out? so i give the example of during opponent's turn, opponent use crow.
i did include the crow in my e.g.

activate effect, COST 1st, u chain crow, crow targets OTHER cards rather than this diabolic/mezuki WHICH has gone out of game.

Huh. So Diabolic's effect cannot be chained to? You mean if I out Diabolic with D.D. Crow then cannot out Diabolic? Or did I misunderstand?

cannot chain to..

u out diabolic 1st with DD crow.
then diabolic gets RFG.
nth happens except being RFG.

unless its diabolic uses its effect to out,
then u chain DD crow ( which is useless )

just dun treat mezuki/diabolic as guardna...

Basically, he means... You cannot chain to a cost. Same as me.

Okok I give up. I get it now. Can't chain Crow when Diabolic activates its effect.

haha lock topic?

You're better off crowing the diabolic once it hits the graveyard. Bloody diabolics, had to play like 3 crows in my gb deck.

3 crows = 王道!

But yah anyways

This don't make sense as Diabolic is spell speed 1 and can only be activated during your main phase.

Main thing is, you remove Diabolic as a cost and declare activating its effect. You cannot chain crow as Diabolic is already removed. The same goes for Mezuki.

I thought I was all alone on the "doesn't make sense" thing.

Because in order to special summon another diabolic from your deck u need to remove the diabolic in your graveyard as a COST. Like I said, better off crowing the diabolic once it hits the grave. By destiny draw or armageddon knight. Just give the diabolic a kick , sending him off to the other dimension.. lol

Interesting to learn.

When you discard Diabolic to special summon Dark Grepher successfuly, you can use your player priority to remove Diabolic to special summon another before letting opponent use crow.

but in that same chain r u allowed to use grephers own ability to discard another dark monster to toss 1 from the deck?

Actually it depends whether you wanna use grepher effect or diabolic since they are both speed 1.

can u give example?
i dun understand.

izit u meaning when diabolic is out, u chain wif grpher?
or wat else u mean?

if it's diabolic out u cant chain grepher..

When you special summon Dark Grepher from its effect, you discard a level 5 or higher dark monster to the grave. The discard is NOT a cost. So, after the discard, you can special summon Dark Grepher without the chain being passed around in between.

When Dark Grepher is special summoned, you can declare turn player's priority. Most of the time, people will declare priority for an ignition effect from that monster. However, in this case, you can actually remove Malicious from the grave (if you discarded it) and then special summon another Malicious.

Many people think that card has priority, but NO, its the turn player who has the priority and can choose to do what for that time being. You can even declare priority and activate MST. There is nothing wrong with that.
