Information on Ruling

[Terra Fortis]

This thread will be universal for admins to add extra commentary on rulings that may be confusing to members. Once explained here, there should be no excuse why someone messed up on something. This will cover basis as problems occur, so be sure to keep updated.

The first one!!

If your opponent doesn't have a bakugan on their side of the field (because it was sent back, etc.), then the round is over. Unless it's a card that you used that specifically states that you can attack the opponent directly with your bakugan, there is no bakugan to take the difference from. That means your bakugan is sent back also and a new round starts.

Technically the person who's bakugan was sent back could play a card to negate that effect, but it makes more sense for them to end the round.


Second!!!

When making a card, the "bakugan" section may not say "all bakugan." It must be specific. "All my bakugan," "All bakugan in my pack." "All Ventus bakugan," and "all dragon bakugan" are also exmaples of illegal card making.

When making a bakugan, it cannot say in it's description, "This can use the effects of all of my bakugan." This is because if you win a bakugan, then your bakugan could automatically use that won bakugan's effects. This is unfair.

The only exception to this rule in the case of a non-universal name or archetype. For example, "All Saint Bakugan," would work since it is an archetype made by Daniel Alves and he is the only one that has "Saint Bakugan" Therefore he wouldn't be able to give effects automatically to won or stolen bakugan.

There is a rule that states clearly that brawlers are capable of countering, so OF COURSE the opponent will have the chance to counter and nullify the opponent's effects. This was stating what happened if the opponent did not. It was supposed to show that people couldn't use their bakugan to attack if the opponents didn't have a bakugan on their field. Please do not try to correct me, I have been doing this much longer, and I'm more experienced than you. Would be appreciated, thanks.

For some effects, specification can be limited to such effects like: "Ventus Bakugan" or any attribute of that matter. An example? "Nullify the opponent's normal ability cards and transfer 200G." That is a clear cut example of a card effect that could have a more simpler bakugan specification.

Please do me a favor and leave this to admins. I will modify my first post to note that this is for admins. Future note to other staff members: If you want to add anything, run it through with an administrator first. Thanks!!
