We are always open to hiring more judges, but for obvious reasons we are very selective. Our consideration for someone becoming a judge starts with passing the DB judge exam. We value ruling competence on DB, hence why our judge exam is (intended to be) more difficult than the Konami RC-2 exam. As ...

I've read every post from the past 2 pages and I honestly have no idea what you are all arguing about. Not even a single clue. I've already addressed the concerns of the topic. Nothing more needs to be said.

Keep it civil guys. I highly doubt that a topic asking for advice on a custom card requires the level of toxicity I'm seeing.

It's a fair question.

We are always open to hiring more judges. However, for obvious reasons, we have a selection criteria. That criteria begins by passing the DuelingBook Judge Exam, the link to which can be found in the Announcements on the login page.

Chill, guys. No need to get hostile. It's a genuine suggestion and it's one I hear about a lot. The practicalities behind it would be a bit tricky. The amount of work it would take to set up individual formats for each "era" probably wouldn't get paid off by the amount of people who play t...

I don't really see a point. Our forum staff will message you what the outcome of the report is, so you are informed of what comes out of it. We just private them so that our forum staff can discuss and debate the issue amongst ourselves.

With all the respect to the rules, but what's wrong with looking at your deck, provided that it is shuffled afterwards? IF you were allowed to shuffle your deck whenever you wanted, cards and effects that intentionally stack the deck in a specific order would be completely and utterly meaningless a...

I think as a judge, teaching people about the rules/policies of the game is incredibly important. Our enjoyment of teaching others is one of the biggest reasons why most of us judge in the first place. If I'm taking a call, I do try to teach Duelists why rulings/policies are in place. If I have an o...

With all the respect to the rules, but what's wrong with looking at your deck, provided that it is shuffled afterwards? Just ain't allowed to do it. Nothing more can really be said. I imagine the argument is that we want to avoid changing the gamestate as much as possible if we can. Accidentally me...

You'd probably really struggle trying to find an official Konami source that explicitly says you cannot view your Main Deck for no reason. You can probably refer to page 55 of the Official Rulebook (v10) which tells you that you can pick up your Deck and search through it "whenever an effect in...

Dracosack will resolve negated. Your thought process is correct - generally you can't target a monster to negate its effects if its effects are already negated, unless it "does other things." So Lost Wind can legally target Dracosack. Lost Wind will still apply its negation onto Dracosack ...

I thought this thread died like a month ago with all questions answered, but I guess not. So I guess it's my turn to step in. Our rules against cheating, stalling, trolling, etc., are intended to affect players in the rated pool, and not generally in the unrated section. This makes sense. The rated ...

Let's be honest - any card that ends up in this competitive custom format isn't going to be as simple as discarding a card to end the Battle Phase. They're going to be competitive because players in a competitive environment will want to play competitively. They're going to be cards that are just as...

I understand that people feel really attached to their custom cards and would like to use them in a more competitive setting. Really, I do. We just do not have the resources to properly create and maintain such a system. Having a team that could correct everyone's PSCT wouldn't be easy. PSCT isn't a...

Boy, that sure sounds difficult from a judging perspective.

We already have to deal with Konami's made up rulings for the TCG/OCG. Trying to deal with other people's made up rulings sounds like a headache.

Only 90s kids remember Cleverbot.

We are a dueling simulator. It is not my place to get involved in the details of this discussion. We are also a platform with many judges who all have differing views on the world. Therefore, one view cannot represent the view of everyone. Ultimately, it is up to Xteven to decide which features he w...

Lady's condition is simply that a Trap Card needed to have been activated that turn. Therefore it doesn't need to respond directly to the Trap Card in the same way the Paleozoic cards do. Lady also cannot chain to Metaverse without Priority getting passed first to the opponent. The only time you can...

I'm fascinated that this topic exists. I had no idea that Cameron's intention behind locking the previous one was so that you could continue the conversation in a new topic. It's also fascinating that I managed to review every single duel you were in for the past several months and didn't find a sin...
