some ruling questions before worlds

As topic, there are a few questions in mind, hence would like to raise it up before worlds so that we can know what the ruling will be like. and also to allow discussion for the common questions.

before that do keep in mind that there are 7 substeps in the damage step, and they are as follow:

Sub-step 1: Start of the Damage Step
Sub-step 2: Flipping the Face-Down Monster Face-Up
Sub-step 3: Before Damage Calculation
Sub-step 4: Damage Calculation
Sub-step 5: Battle Damage - After Damage Calculation
Sub-step 6: Resolve effects
Sub-step 7: End of the Damage Step - Monster(s) Destroyed by Battle are Sent to the Graveyard

Q1. Goyo vs machina fortress( destruction part of the effect).
Machina fortress being mandatory effect and goyo guardian being optional effect, both effect take place at substep 7 of the damage step. Hence, a chain is formed following the principle that Sequence of event goes on chain( SEGOC). And they are as follow:

1. Turn player Mandatory effect.
2. Non turn player mandatory effect.
3. Turn player optional effect.
4. Non turn player optional effect.

Hence, regardless of whether goyo attacks machina fortress or machina fortress attacks goyo, machina fortress being mandatory will always be in chain link 1 and goyo chain link 2. as such, goyo can always take machina fortress if the player wishes to.

Q2. Shura (dropping kalut) vs machina fortress(destruction part of the effect).

Shura works the same way as goyo guardian, and both effect takes place at the end of the damage step(substep 7) and being optional effect. Hence shura is able to special summon another blackwing monster from the deck as it is on chain link 2.

Q3. How many substeps are allowed in this tournament?

So these are the main questions that i have in mind for now, do feel free to add on and discuss. can i know how the judges will rule on such scenarios? thank you.

Question Solved

Then how about Shura with Kalut VS Snowman Eater? Does Shura get to search, or will Snowman Eater kill Shura first?

kill shura first i think so

flip effect resolve first. shura die. dont get to search.

The part on whether goyou guardian attacks machina 1st or machina attacks goyou guardian 1st is not correct.
For example

Player A has machina fortress on the field where as Player B has Goyou Guardian on the field

Player A uses machina fortress to attack Goyou Guardian

Turn player optional effect trigger 1st thus machina fortress will be at chain 1 thus Goyou Guardian's effect will be on Chain 2 which allows Player B to choose whether to take Machina Fortress or not before machina triggers its effect.

However if

Player A has machina fortress on the field where as Player B has Goyou Guardian on the field

Plater B decides to attack with his Goyou Guardian on Machina Fortress ,that will be different.

Goyou Guardian's effect will be on Chain 1 due to Turn player effect trigger 1st thus Machina Fortress effect will be on Chain 2 which allows machina fortress to destroy goyou before goyou can use its effect

Then What About Goyo and Colossal Guardian?
Is it always the colossal that win?

2. Non turn player mandatory effect.

4. Non turn player optional effect.

machina fortress is an MANDATORY effect, while goyo guardian is an OPTIONAL effect, so according to SEGOC, MANDATORY effect is placed at chain link 1 before OPTIONAL effect is at chain link 2.

the above scenario will be right, if and only if machina fortress effect is optional.

can i know if its effect is ruled as an optional effect or mandatory effect?

Ps my mistake forget machina is mandatory effect

so how is it ruled? can goyo still take machina fortress regardless of whether which monster attacks first?

thank you very much for the clarification. =)

^ yes

goyo needs to be on field to have its effect activated,same as shura.

ya if colossal fighter have no warrior in grave wack goyo the colossal will come back goyo will die

both are optional effect, so you can form a chain and resolve. chain link 1 will be the turn player.

cannot

what u mean by cannot?cannot form chain or wat?

cannot form chain because goyo will die with colossal fighter so cannot take
