forbidden lance vs. Creature Swap

if i use Creature Swap can i select a monster that is chosen by forbidden lance? if so does its control switch?

[Key_]

You can only give your opponent a monster that was not affected by Forbidden Lance. If there are none, Creature Swap resolves without an effect

[calculatinginsect00]

ok thanks.

even if you chain lance it doesnt work right?

[Key_]

Creature Swap will never end up being one sided

I can't believe they use the word "Negate".
And it's a ruling quote, so changing it would be pointless ........

[Redshift]

Yea, they goofed on that. But I was trying to show that a monster unaffected by Spell Cards should still be eligible for selection. As far as I can see from the rulings, the only time you can't pick a monster is if it can't switch control (like "Blindly Loyal Goblin").

That...

There is a precedent for that. Guardian Kay'est can be selected for Creature Swap, but it would cause Creature Swap to "resolve without effect" or "fizzle".

Same goes for Horus lv6. You can select it for Creature Swap, but doing so will effectively nullify the effect of Creature Swap. However, you cannot select Horus lv4, as it cannot switch sides at all.

So, I reckon chaining Forbidden Lance to Creature Swap (then selecting the targetted monster) would cause Creature Swap to fail.

What it would NOT do is cause Creature Swap to resolve in one direction only. That never happens: Creature Swap either resolves with two monsters or not at all.

Using Scrap Shark looks like a one-sided Creature Swap, but (technically) it isn't. This is because Scrap Shark is not destroyed until after Swap resolves, so both monsters do actually change sides.

Except if the opponent chains a card, any card, therefore screwing you since Shark dies before Swap resolves.

What about Creature Swap on Spirit Reaper?

[HyawehHoshikawa]

creature swap doesn't target.

[forteshinko]

Is there a good reason for Scrap Shark being destroyed after Creature Swap resolves, other than the fact that there's a written ruling about it?

Without the ruling I'd assume that it would be destroyed on the activation of Creature Swap, because it's a continuous effect.

[Key_]

Scrap Shark works similarly to Spirit Reaper, which destroys itself after the card resolves.

[illusionX]

because its continuous effect doesn't apply until it is actually affected. and this doesn't happen until the affecting effect resolves. how do you know if it is going to be affected until the effect resolves, especially for effects that do not target? ...simple, really.

technically, even though it appears so and the end result is the same, i wouldn't say it works like Spirit Reaper. reaper needs to be targeted and since you cannot apply most continuous effects during the activation and resolution of another effect, reaper must wait.

...just a thought

Actually, Scrap Shark doesn't need to be affected, only for something to activated.

Well, I've always wondered why the continuous effect of Machina Fortress applies before the resolution of the targetting effect while Spirit Reaper's applies after, since they have similar conditions. I'd guess it can be accounted to wording, right? Or just Konami wanting cards to work in a certain way?

[illusionX]

Oh, for some reason i was thinking it destroyed itself after it was affected by a card. Never mind. So, then it would work exactly like Spirit Reaper. But my point about why Spirit Reaper waits is still valid.

[peten123]

If i Mind Control a monster then Forbidden Lance that same monster when it is on my side of the field, does it still return to the other side of the field and can it attack?

[SkullBuster]

Lance does not erase conditions generated by Spells/Traps that already affecting a Monster.

And next time, create your own thread.
