Master Duel: Rule Book: Part 4: Better understand the "Forgetting" phenomenon of cards - Master Duel

I'm sure that for newbies, after experiencing Master Duel, they will inevitably panic when there are cases where the effects of monsters cannot be used temporarily. So, let YGO Vietnam help you!




overview

Once a monster has been Summoned, it begins to carry all sorts of information, such as:
  • Its Summon Time.
  • How exactly was it Summoned?
  • The effects are applied to it.
  • Etc
When a monster stops being face-up for a period of time, it will " forget " that information, but " remember " other parts. This can happen when it is turned face down by the Book of Moon or temporarily banished by Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss .



If the monster is temporarily face down

If your monster is temporarily face-down (under the effects of Book of Moon or Subterror), it will forget:

  • Any properties that the cards used to Summon (Tribute, use materials, special summon, etc.) have at the time of Summon.
  • Any effects previously applied.
However, it will not forget :
  • Which specific cards were used to Summon it.
  • Whether it is Special Summoned or not.
  • Whether it is Summoned that turn or not.

Naturia Bamboo Shoot (Example 1)
SR rarity

If face-down , Naturia Bamboo Shoot will forget whether or not it Tribute Summoned a Naturia Monster. From there, its continuing effect will be interrupted .

Onslaught of the Fire Kings (Example 2)
UR rarity

UR rarity
Onslaught of the Fire Kings

From there, some monsters will receive some benefits , such as: Monsters Summoned by Onslaught of the Fire Kings will not be destroyed if they are face-down and then turned face-up before the End Phase.

Stardust Dragon and De-Synchro (Example 3)
UR rarity

Another example of not being affected by being flipped face down :
  • If a Stardust Dragon is turned face down, then face up, and is targeted by De-Synchro , you can still Special Summon its summoning materials.

Obelisk the Tormentor (Example 4)
UR rarity

Or an Obelisk the Tormentor that is turned face down and then turned over again will still be sent to the GY during the End Phase (Special Summoning Effect).

Book of Eclipse and Yosenju Kama 1 (Example 5)
SR rarity
Book of Eclipse
SR rarity

Yosenju Kama 1
R rarity

Yosenju Kama 1 - or any "Yosenju" monster - turned face-up by Book of Eclipse will return to the hand during the End Phase if Normal Summoned that turn.

Additionally, there is some difference between monsters being temporarily overturned or temporarily banished.



If a monster is turned face down

It will forget :
  • Where is it Summoned from?
  • If it is Pendulum Summoned.
  • The exact method used to Summon it.
However, it will not forget :
  • If its Battle Position has changed that turn.
  • If it has attacked that turn.

Shaddoll Fusion and Number 39: Utopia (Example 1)
SR rarity

Beast King Barbaros (Example 2)
SR rarity

Beast King Barbaros is Summoned by its own effect if turned face down, then face up will have an initial ATK of 3000.



If that card is temporarily banished

It will not forget :
  • Where is it Summoned from?
  • If it is Pendulum Summoned.

Shaddoll Fusion and Number 39: Utopia (For example)
SR rarity
Shaddoll Fusion
SR rarity
Shaddoll Fusion
UR rarity
Number 39: Utopia
