Until Further Notice

As 鱼缸 wrote on Team Arcobaleno's blog two days ago, there's apparently a new ruling regarding the Colossal Arms OTK. A common tactic players would use to end games is by equipping Armory Arm to one of their opponent's monster and then have a Colossal Fighter attack into the stronger monster. Armory Arm's effect would inflict damage equal to Colossal Fighter's attack and Colossal would revive itself to repeat the process until it was game. However, in the OCG this no longer the case:

Ｑ：《アームズ・エイド》を装備したモンスターが《ギガンテック・ファイター》を戦闘破壊しました。

　　チェーン１：《アームズ・エイド》、チェーン２：《ギガンテック・ファイター》とチェーンを組んだ場合、チェーン１の効果解決時に《ギガンテック・ファイター》は墓地に存在しませんが《アームズ・エイド》効果は適用されますか？

Ａ：いいえ、戦闘によって破壊されたモンスターが墓地に存在しない場合、適用されません。（10/12/22）

The reason being because Colossal Fighter would not be in the graveyard when Armory Arm calculates the damage to be inflicted. After asking sources here in the TCG, it looks like this new ruling with not be applied, yet anyway.


Remember players, the game ends with you.
