New flip effect rules

[bluepokenut]

Seems like alot of people in my area dont know about the new rules on changing a monsters battle position. Here is the quote from the judge list.

A Monster Card’s battle position in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME can be
changed in one of two ways:

1. A "manual" change. This is when you use your once-per-turn battle position
change on a monster, during your Main Phase 1 or 2, to change it from attack
position to defense position or vice versa. This includes a Flip Summon. There
are some restrictions on when you can do this (see below).

2. A change because of a card effect. Examples: “Enemy Controller”, “Zero
Gravity”, “Guardian Sphinx”, “Book of Moon” and “Tsukuyomi”.

A “manual” change can only be performed during your Main Phase 1 or 2. There are
3 exceptions that will prevent you from “manually” changing a monster’s battle
position:
Exception #1: You cannot “manually” change the battle position of a monster if it
declared an attack that turn (even if the attack was negated or a replay occurred).

Exception #2: You cannot “manually” change the battle position of a monster if it
was Summoned or Set that turn by the turn player.

Exception #3: You cannot “manually” change the battle position of a monster if its
battle position was already changed “manually” that turn (including if it was Flip
Summoned).

Please note that:
You CAN always change the battle position of a monster with a card effect, even if
any of the above exceptions prevent you from changing its battle position
“manually”.

You CAN change the battle position of a monster “manually” if its battle position
was changed by a card effect previously that turn (as long as none of the 3
exceptions exist). Example: You activate “Book of Moon” and flip a monster into
face-down Defense Position. Then you can Flip Summon it that same turn, as long as
none of the 3 exceptions exist.

You CAN change the battle position of a monster “manually” if it was Summoned or
Set, but not by the turn player. Example: “Cyber Jar” Summons a monster on the
opponent’s side of the field, and the turn player uses “Change of Heart” to take
control of it, then Flip Summons it that same turn. This is a legal play (as long
as none of the 3 exceptions exist).

You CAN change the battle position of a monster “manually” if it was returned to
the field because of “Dimensionhole”, because it does not Summon the monster (as
long as none of the 3 exceptions exists).


Just incase you didnt really read the whole thing here is a over sight. If you atk with stealth bird you can NOT flip it back face down. Atking with it "freezes"it in atk mode.

Now if you last turn flip summoned a magician of faith you can book it then flip summon it. If your opponent books a monster that was summoned the turn before you can flip summon it.

Now here is a nice one for you. You have 1000 eyes on the field, equiped with one of your opponents monsters. On your turn book it then flip summon it and suck up another.

Here is a really nice set up. Your opponent has the dreaded BLS. Snatch steal it use the effect. Book it, flip summon it, then use the effect again. The bonus is you get to keep the BLS.

for those of you that took the time to read all of this it is going to help.

What is so "New" about this?

[bluepokenut]

Told you you had to read everthing.

Before the new ruling if your opponent booked your jinzo in your main phase 1 or 2 it had to stay face down.
With the new ruling it can be flip summoned that turn. Stopping the traps again.

If you have a face up magician of faith that for some reason survived last turn. Now you can book it and then flip summon it the same turn.
