In a Chain, If a card or effect that is optional can only activate "When [X event happens]", then that event must be the LAST thing to happen, and that this rule applies to ALL cards, regardless of card type.

You take that back. Dinos are relegated to outside the meta now but when these guys were released it was insanely fun to be Dinochad especially with the Paleozoic trap monsters.

I still remember back in the day people losing their shit over the targeting and non-targeting effects. Still, what archetype would even benefit from this card nowadays? Did fusions get enough support to make them viable after Anaconda? I stopped playing around the time Links came out so I'm a little out of the loop.

Yes
Back in 2007 we took the piss out of the absurdity of Yugioh being so complicated that it needed a Dual Academy in GX - now 20 years later normal people have their brains melted when you try to explain fundamental modern yugioh shit like Chain linking and missed timing

For competitive decks it's like watching Solitaire where the most powerful, expensive decks become irrelevant every few months. If your opening hand is good, you can have absurdly long combos that last for 5+ minutes. A single turn can look like: play a monster, use your monster's triggered effect: I'll discard this and this. Hoo boy another triggered effect: I'll discard this which lets me play another monster, recycle this, cancel their special effect, AND play a monster which lets me play another monster which lets me remove 2 of your cards...

i wasn't aware of these early monarchs - the 2012 era monarchs were an archtype which existed to prevent your opponent from special summoning and forced everyone to go back to tributes

the original monarchs were from 2004-2005, and they were very powerful group of tribute monsters which got effects specifically for tribute summoning, and they were powerful - but as the speed of Yugioh became more frantic and fast, and special summons started to outnumber the normal summons, the act of relying on tribute summoning became more and more "bad" or outdated.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monarchs/wiki/index
Then, about 10 years later 2012-2014, the original 2004 era monarchs would get some mega turbo charged support, to propel them into a top tier archtype. Basically, they got a shitload of support spells, and the mother of all fieldspell cards ever printed - basically negating the very act of special summoning itself, meaning that both players were forced to go back to tribute summoning, comepletly cucking the format and cucking all losers who relied on the new summoning mechanics like Pendulum/synchro and shit
Old school strags loved monarchs, and propelled the archtype to top 10 infamy in the game's history.
I personally was too brokenshit poor before 2010-2011, and my backwater farmville rural shithead hometown nobody fricking played the game, so i was not aware the very original monarchs were printed THAT early.

It's all explained in the card very simply in plain English. You shouldn't need an explanation for that basic interaction
If you want to see some real nonsense checkout the Shifter/Macro Cosmos interactions with Pends. Actual rules lawyer bullshit to kneecap the entire card type.

Isn't that just a card-specific effect always overrides the general rules?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Konami decided that Pends only go to the Extra when they go to the grave so despite Macros and similar saying "any card sent to the GY is banished instead" the Pends get banished because they are still going to the grave even though they are going to the Extra. People will try to rationalize this in whatever way they want but it's transparently a power-cap on Pends when you look at Floo's roughly equivalent rulings.

I've never played Yu-Gi-Oh, but the comment makes sense to me, too. I did play games like Magic back in high school.
It's basically saying that "on summon" occurs at a specific, later time, and that "on summon" requires the triggering creature to still exist at that time.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
the problem which exacerbates this is that there is a flotilla of cards which have effects activated on and after summoning - which pulls the rulings in different directions due to the diversity of cards and effects.

Synchro and XYZ were good mechanics. It was after Pendulums that the game started really going to shit. Links were the final nail in the coffin.
Pendulums during MR3 were absolute cancer to play against. The only good change those Master Rules brought was removing the +1 draw when going first. I still have nightmares of going up against full power PePe
. Then MR4 came and it somehow managed to be even more cancerous than MR3. Like, whoever came up with Firewall Dragon unironically needs to be waterboarded to death.

why would anyone play one of the big three TCGs in 2024, there are so many new ones that don't suck, don't have thirty years of bloat, and are much cheaper. Pick up Flesh and Blood, or if you're not neurodivergent enough for that, Star Wars Unlimited. They're a good time

Lorcana? Haven't played it, but the art is gorgeous, from what I've heard it's easy for kids to pick up, and it's pretty well supported. You probably can't go wrong with some starter decks so she can play against siblings/cousins/friends, and maybe some packs if you want to get her into gambling.
She'll probably enjoy the cards even if she doesn't like the game, but if she does like the game I wouldn't advise any LGS community events. Everything I've heard has been horror stories of obese sweaty M:TG neurodivergents crushing children with overpriced meta decks. Keep the play casual and with other children, lol.

Makes no sense, why would the effect of the monster not trigger, it was summoned after all. If I was a nerd and played yugioh, I would simply play that the effect triggered, no matter how much some nerd seethed about it
