[RULES] New Field & LINK Summon

Just Play LINKS to have spaces :v

Anyway It's Fine. Now all those that cried for F S X should be happy.

Unless you Play LINKS, only 1 F S X per time.

Enjoy the 3rd Genghis aka Exectutive Alexander now that you can 

Also by Mechanics you can't Link Summon using Pendulum Monsters. SO it's all okay.


Considering the LINK value is equal to the Link markers, to have 3 more FSX spots you need to LINK a good LINK 3 monster, wasting your resources to do it <3

Ideal Link Markers for that are SUd, Sud Overs and Sud West. Otherwise if you play random your LINKS without checking the directios you end up giving a free Extra Deck Zone to the Opponent.

This is trash

Monarchs are going to wreck Meta....

so instead of EGAO n pendulum now its TORAI n RINKU

next is zeruda summon heh

BE HAPPY. FUSION SUMMONED ZARC CAN'T BE KAIJUED ANYMORE.

All those Unaffected Xyz, Synchro & Fusion can't be Kaijued anymore while in the Extra Zone. A little present.

it's too early in the morning and i'm kinda baked. so can someone dumb this down for me.

Here is a chart that should look something like what the new field will be.

MD	ST5	ST4	ST3	ST2	ST1	ED
GRV	MM5	MM4	MM3	MM2	MM1	F
		EM1		EM2
F	MM1	MM2	MM3	MM4	MM5	GRV
ED	ST1	ST2	ST3	ST4	ST5	MD

Key:
MD = Main Deck
ED = Extra Deck
GRV = Graveyard
F = Field Spell
MM = Main Monster
EM = Extra Monster
ST = Spell/Trap

When summoning a monster from your hand, you play them in the Main Monster Zone as you normally would.  The difference comes in summoning a monster from your Extra Deck.  Barring conditions with Link Monsters, you can only summon them in the Extra Monster Zone.

Example:  Let's say Junk Synchron and Quillbolt Hedgehog are on the field in MM1 and MM2.  You can then use them to Synchro Summon Junk Warrior into EM1, resulting in the following field:


EM2 would then become a zone for only your opponent and you can no longer use it.  You can also no longer summon monsters from your Extra Deck, unless Junk Warrior goes away or is used as a material.

Example:  Junk Warrior is in EM1 and Junk Synchron is in MM2.  You can summon Junk Destroyer into EM1 by using Junk Warrior as a material.


This rule for summoning Extra Deck Monsters only applies when summoning them from the Extra Deck.  If you're summoning them from the Graveyard, they can be summoned into the Main Monster Zone.

Example:  We have Junk Destroyer in EM1, Junk Warrior in the Graveyard, and Monster Reborn in the hand.  Monster Reborn can be played to summon Junk Warrior into MM1, since you aren't summoning from the Extra Deck.


The main purpose for the Extra Monster Zones, however, is to use them for the new Link Monsters.

Example:  Let's try summoning Decode Talker.  Decode Talker requires you to send three monsters from your field to the Graveyard, since it has a Link 3.  Due to Decode Talker's Summoning Conditions, two of them have to be Effect Monsters.  Let's say we have Junk Synchron in MM1, Quillbolt Hedgehog in MM2, and Sonic Chick in MM3.  At least two of them are Effect Monsters, so sending all three to the Graveyard would meet Decode Talker's Summoning Conditions.



Now that we have Decode Talker on the field, we can make use of the arrows shown on the card.  These arrows point to the zones to the bottom-left and the bottom-right (MM1 and MM3).  MM1 and MM3 are now Linked Zones and can be used for either summoning a Main Deck Monster or an Extra Deck Monster.  This allows you to have more than one zone to play an Extra Deck Monster.

Example:  Let's say we have Decode Talker in EM1, Junk Synchron in MM1, and Quillbolt Hedgehog in MM2.  Junk Synchron and Quillbolt Hedgehog can be used to summon Junk Warrior into MM1 or MM3.


You can also use those zones for more Link Monsters, resulting in more Linked Zones for more monsters from the Extra Deck.

Finally, the difference for Pendulum Summoning is that the Pendulum Zone no longer exists.  Instead, Pendulum Monsters can be played into ST1 and ST5 to set your Scale.  This reduces your usable number of Spell/Trap Zones to three (ST2, ST3, and ST4), but only if you have Pendulum Monsters filling ST1 and ST5.

Example:  You have Stargazer Magician (Scale 1), Timegazer Magician (Scale 8 ), and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon in your hand.  Stargazer Magician and Timegazer Magician can be played into ST1 and ST5.  You can then Pendulum Summon Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon into MM1.


Keep in mind that when a Pendulum Monster would be sent from the field to the Graveyard, it gets sent to the Extra Deck, instead.  This would also be where Extra Monster Zones and Linked Zones would come into play.

Example:  You have Stargazer Magician in ST1, Timegazer Magician in ST5, and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon in your Extra Deck.  You could then Pendulum Summon Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon into EM1, but not any of your Main Monster Zones.


Naturally, if you had Decode Talker in EM1, you could Pendulum Summon Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon into either MM1 or MM3.

That should about cover it.  I hope this helps.

I did not mean to do that.  I'm not actually sure how that happened.

You Can't Even Summon Them.

Magnus? NOPE
Quasar? NOPE
Zarc? How Do You Expect To Summon It. You Almost Always Need Startime, Which Will Take Up Your Extra Zone. so NOPE
Rainbow Neos? oh you can do that.
Ult Falcon? Maybe.

Ok but, imo this isn't yugioh anymore.
It Just Isn't

What the fuck have I just read

Why to people always say that when a new mechanic is introduced, before they even try it?  It's almost like people are afraid of change and need to learn to get over it... Oh, wait...  (Kind funny how this relates to the theme of Yugioh Vrains:  "Take a step forward and try.")

Anyways, you can still summon the materials needed from the grave.  You can also summon them from the Extra Deck if you have Link Monsters.  You can just no longer expect to say "I'm playing one card to get a full board."

whoa so pretty much I can only s.summon one extra deck monster or monster directly from the deck to the extra zone. and nowhere else. But if I summon a Link Monster into the extra zone, then the main monster zones linked to that monster can be used to summon other monsters from the Extra deck or main deck?

if that is how it is, then i love this mechanic.

I don't think you can summon a monster from the Main Deck to the Extra Monster Zone, but the rest of what you said is correct.  It adds a new element of strategy and slows down decks that just spam monsters from the Extra Deck.

so on the link monster what are the arrows to the left and right of the art mean? what monster zones do those link too? Zones 1 & 5?

They denote linked zones into which players can summon extra deck monsters. 

no i understand that. I was talking about these:


But then i reread and now i understand why those are there. i didnt know you could summon another Link Monster in the main monster zone if its linked to another link monster.

I love this. Its about time yugioh started leaning towards more skill and less extra deck spamming.

Yugioh is fun again. Thank god this mechanic is wonderful and exciting, making the game more tactical than ever before. Those who dont want change can just step back, cuz this is great

so basickly only two extra deck monster can be on the field on the same time wtf.

That is not how it works.  At the beginning, each player can only Special Summon one Extra Deck Monster to an Extra Monster Zone (the other zone then goes to the other player).  If the monster in that zone is a Link Monster, the Main Monster Zones can then be used to summon other monsters from the Extra Deck.  You can also summon Extra Deck Monsters from other locations, such as the Graveyard, to the Main Monster Zones.

I'm pretty sure Kaijus can still be used, since you don't have to summon them in the same zone.  People just do that out of habit.  (As a side note, now that the zones actually matter, they'll probably be used a lot more carefully.)

isnt there a card that you can play that blocks an opponent's card zone? expect to see a lot of that being used...

I would assume anything that refers to "Monster zone" now refers to "Main monster zone", rather than allowing you to choose whatever.

If you mean Ground Collapse, yes, but it'll probably be errata-ed to say "Main Monster Zone", as it would otherwise become extremely overpowered and lock out your opponent.  It can still be used to block Linked Zones, but you'll have to wait until your turn, unless you know what Extra Monster Zone your opponent will pick (such as if you already took the other one) and already know what Link Monsters they're playing, since different Link Monsters can link to different zones.

Another option is technically Ojama Trio, which can be used after a monster is Link Summoned, but they just can't be Tributed for a Tribute Summon or be used as material for an Xyz Summon.  Depending on the ruling for Link Summoning, they may still be able to be used for a Link Summon (similar to how tokens can be used for a Synchro Summon).

found it. but still @jjh927, use this to block the two main monster card zone's under you opponents extra monster zone and you'll cripple their play until they draw a MST or something. I cant wait to see what the errata for this card is going to say....



yeah you posted before i could send this. lol

I noticed something with the arrow above the link mon. Can you invade your opponents field? Like its still ur mon, but on their field, taking up their space
