The Duelist Genesis is the first booster to include the exciting new Synchro and Tuner Monsters. Here is a summary of the rules for using these new cards:
Synchro Monsters have a White card border. Synchro Monsters go in your Extra Deck � they do not go in your Main Deck (see below).
In order to Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster, you need 1 Tuner monster (look for "Tuner" next to its Type). The Tuner Monster and other face-up monsters you use for the Synchro Summon are called Synchro Material Monsters. The sum of their Levels is the Level of Synchro Monster you can Summon.
To Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster:
1. Have a Tuner monster and 1 or more non-Tuner monsters face-up on the field.
2. Make sure the Levels of the monsters you want to use add up exactly to the Level of the Synchro Monster you want to Summon. (You don't have to use all your monsters.)
3. Send the Tuner and the other monsters you are using to your Graveyard.
4. Special Summon the Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck
You can use Tokens as Synchro Material Monsters.
You can Synchro Summon while "Dimensional Fissure," etc., is active.
After a Synchro Monster has been Synchro Summoned, if it is sent from the field to the Graveyard it can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with "Monster Reborn," etc.
Additionally, some game terms have changed:
The Fusion Deck is now called the Extra Deck.
Not just for Fusion Monsters anymore, you can also include the new white-framed Synchro Monster Cards in this Deck. The Extra Deck still uses all the same rules as the Fusion Deck. You can include up to 3 copies of a card in your Extra Deck.
"Multi-Trigger" Effect Monster effects are now called "Quick Effects."
This is a change in terminology to help players better identify and understand this category of monster effects. There are no rules changes to how any cards are played.
The contents of this document are structured as follows:
Card Name
Card Number (Card Type)
[Card Text]
Turbo Booster
TDGS-EN001 (Machine / Effect)
[If you have Normal Summoned a monster this turn, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can Tribute this card to destroy 1 monster your opponent controls that battled one of your monsters this turn.]
"Turbo Booster" can only be Special Summoned by its effect during your own Main Phases.
"Turbo Booster's" second effect is an Ignition Effect that you can activate during your Main Phase 2. Tributing "Turbo Booster" is a cost. This effect targets your opponent's monster.
If you Special Summon "Turbo Booster" during your Main Phase 2 you can still activate its second effect.
Quillbolt Hedgehog
TDGS-EN003 (Machine / Effect)
[If you control a face-up Tuner monster, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. If this card was Summoned this way, remove it from play when it is removed from the field.]
"Quillbolt Hedgehog's" Special Summon effect is an Ignition Effect.
If an effect is chained that removes your only Tuner monster from your side of the field, "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is not Special Summoned.
If "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is flipped face-down after it is Special Summoned by its effect, it is not removed from play when it is removed from the field, even if it is flipped face-up.
If "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is Special Summoned by its effect and is later removed from the field while "Skill Drain" is active, "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is still removed from play.
If you Special Summon "Quillbolt Hedgehog" with its effect and afterwards remove it from play with "Interdimensional Matter Transporter," "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is not returned to the field in the End Phase.
Ghost Gardna
TDGS-EN004 (Warrior / Effect)
[When a face-up monster you control is selected as an attack target, you can change the target to this card. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, 1 face-up monster your opponent controls loses 1000 ATK, until the End Phase.]
"Ghost Gardna's" second effect targets 1 of your opponent's monsters.
If a "Ghost Gardna" in your hand or Deck is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard, its effect activates.
Shield Warrior
TDGS-EN005 (Warrior / Effect)
[During damage calculation, you can remove from play this card from your Graveyard to prevent monsters you control from being destroyed by this battle.]
"Shield Warrior's" effect is a Quick Effect. Removing "Shield Warrior" from play is a cost. This effect does not target.
You cannot activate "Shield Warrior's" effect if your monster would not be destroyed by the battle.
Small Piece Golem
TDGS-EN006 (Rock / Effect)
[When this card is Summoned, if you control a "Big Piece Golem", you can Special Summon 1 "Medium Piece Golem" from your Deck. That monster's effect is negated while it is face-up on the field.]
If "Small Piece Golem" is Special Summoned during the Damage Step, you can activate its effect.
If an effect is chained that removes your only "Big Piece Golem" from the field, "Medium Piece Golem" is still Special Summoned.
Medium Piece Golem
TDGS-EN007 (Rock / Effect)
[When this card is Summoned, if you control a "Big Piece Golem", you can Special Summon 1 "Small Piece Golem" from your Deck. That monster's effect is negated while it is face-up on the field.]
If "Medium Piece Golem" is Special Summoned during the Damage Step, you can activate its effect.
Sinister Sprocket
TDGS-EN009 (Fiend / Tuner)
[If this card is sent to the Graveyard for the Synchro Summon of a DARK Synchro Monster, you can destroy 1 face-up Spell or Trap Card.]
When "Sinister Sprocket" is used as a Synchro Material Monster, if the Synchro Monster becomes a DARK monster when it is Synchro Summoned (due to "DNA Transplant", etc.), you can activate "Sinister Sprocket's" effect.
Twin-Shield Defender
TDGS-EN011 (Warrior / Effect)
[When this card you control is destroyed by battle and sent to your Graveyard, you can halve the current ATK of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, until the End Phase.]
"Twin-Shield Defender's" effect targets 1 face-up monster your opponent controls.
"Twin-Shield Defender" halves the current ATK of the targeted monster, including any gains and/or losses from effects.
Example 1: "Sangan" equipped with "Axe of Despair" has 2000 ATK. If its ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender" it will have 1000 ATK.
Example 2: "Sangan's" original ATK is halved by "Shrink" to 500 ATK. If its ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender", it will have 250 ATK.
If "Rush Recklessly" is activated after "Twin-Shield Defender's" effect resolves, the ATK gained from "Rush Recklessly" is not halved.
If "Shrink" or "Megamorph" is activated after "Twin-Shield Defender's" effect resolves, "Twin-Shield Defender's" effect disappears.
Example 1: If "Sangan's" ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender" to 500 ATK and afterwards its original ATK is halved by "Shrink", it will have 500 ATK.
Example 2: If "Sangan's" ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender" to 500 ATK and afterwards it is equipped with "Megamorph", it will have 500 ATK or 2000 ATK (depending on Life Points).

"Handcuffs Dragon's" effect does not target when it is activated. However, while equipped to a monster it targets the equipped monster.
If "Handcuffs Dragon" becomes equipped to a monster with its effect, "Tailor of the Fickle" cannot be used to equip it to another monster.
Montage Dragon
TDGS-EN014 (Dragon / Effect)
[This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by sending 3 other monsters from your hand to the Graveyard. This card's ATK is equal to the combined Levels of the sent monsters x 300.]
You cannot Special Summon "Montage Dragon" while "Macro Cosmos" or "Dimensional Fissure", etc. is face-up on the field because you cannot send Monster Cards from your hand to the Graveyard.
If you send a WATER monster from your hand to the Graveyard while "A Legendary Ocean" is active, the original Level of the monster is used and not the reduced Level.
If "Montage Dragon" is flipped face-down by "Book of Moon", etc., when it is flipped face-up its ATK is 0.
If "Skill Drain" is active while "Montage Dragon" is face-up on the field, its ATK becomes 0. If "Skill Drain" is later negated or removed from the field, its ATK remains 0.

The damage and Life Point gain with "Jenis, Lightsworn Mender" happen at the same time, so it is possible to start a new Chain with "Numinous Healer" or "Attack and Receive", etc.

If you activate "Dark Hunter's" "5 or more" effect and an effect is chained that reduces the number of DARK monsters in your Graveyard to 4 or less, "Dark Hunter's" effect still resolves.
While "Skill Drain" is active, all of "Dark Hunter's" effects are negated because the primary effect, "This card's effect changes depending on the number of DARK monsters in your Graveyard", is negated.

Once during each of your turns, if you activated a Spell Card, this card gains 1000 ATK during its next attack, for damage calculation only. Once per turn, if this attacking card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can change 1 face-up Defense Position monster your opponent controls to Attack Position, and attack it with this card.]
If the Spell Card is activated before "Nitro Warrior" is Summoned, "Nitro Warrior" does not gain 1000 ATK during its next attack.
"Nitro Warrior's" second effect targets 1 of your opponent's face-up Defense Position monsters.
"Nitro Warrior's" second effect activates at the end of the Damage Step, when monsters destroyed by battle are sent to the Graveyard. If you activate this effect you will return to the Battle Step and attack the selected monster with "Nitro Warrior".

If "Crush Card Virus" is activated and there is a face-up monster on the field that will be destroyed, "Stardust Dragon's" effect can be chained.
If "Royal Oppression's" effect is activated to negate the Special Summon of a monster, like "Cyber Dragon" or "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus", "Stardust Dragon's" effect cannot be chained because the monster being Special Summoned is not considered to be "on the field" until its Summon is successful.
"Stardust Dragon's" second effect can only be chained to an effect that will destroy card(s) on the field. For example, if "Night Assailant" second effect is activated when it is discarded, "Stardust Dragon's" effect cannot be chained because this effect does not destroy card(s) on the field.
If "Stardust Dragon" is removed from play when its first effect is activated (by "Banisher of the Light," etc.), or it is removed from the Graveyard after its first effect is activated, it cannot be Special Summoned with its effect during the End Phase.
If you Special Summon "Stardust Dragon" during the End Phase and your opponent activates "Torrential Tribute," you can chain "Stardust Dragon's" first effect to negate "Torrential Tribute". If you do, you can Special Summon "Stardust Dragon" again during the same End Phase.

If the Defense Position monster attacked by "Red Dragon Archfiend" is changed to Attack Position before damage calculation with "Final Attack Orders", etc., "Red Dragon Archfiend's" effect does not activate.
If "Red Dragon Archfiend" attacks a Defense Position "Giant Rat," etc., and destroys it with its effect, "Giant Rat's" effect does not activate because it is destroyed by "Red Dragon Archfiend's" effect before it would be sent to the Graveyard by battle.
If the attack of one of your monsters is negated, with "Magic Cylinder", etc., the monster is destroyed by "Red Dragon Archfiend's" effect in your End Phase.

If your opponent activates a Field Spell Card and your "Geartown" is destroyed, you can activate its effect.
If you control "Geartown" and you activate a new Field Spell Card, you cannot activate "Geartown's" effect when it is destroyed because it misses the timing. However, if you Set a new Field Spell Card, you can activate "Geartown's" effect when it is destroyed.
Power Filter
TDGS-EN058 (Continuous Spell Card)
[Neither player can Special Summon monsters with 1000 or less ATK.]
Even if a monster's ATK would become more than 1000 after it is Special Summoned, you cannot Special Summon it while "Power Filter" is active.
Monsters with 1000 or less ATK cannot be Special Summoned face-down with "The Shallow Grave", etc.
Monsters with "?" ATK can be Special Summoned.
Lightsworn Sabre
TDGS-EN059 (Equip Spell Card)
[Equip only to a "Lightsworn" monster. It gains 700 ATK. When this card is sent from your Deck to your Graveyard, you can equip it to 1 "Lightsworn" monster you control.]
If "Lightsworn Sabre" is sent from your Deck to the Graveyard to pay a cost its effect cannot be activated.
Unstable Evolution
TDGS-EN060 (Equip Spell Card)
[While your Life Points are lower than your opponent's, the equipped monster's original ATK becomes 2400. While your Life Points are higher than your opponent's, its original ATK becomes 1000.]
"Unstable Evolution" changes the equipped monster's original ATK. If the equipped monster is targeted by "Shrink", its original ATK determined by "Unstable Evolution" is halved.
When determining the equipped monster's ATK, apply the effect of "Unstable Evolution" and then apply any other ATK gains and losses.
If the equipped monster gains 700 ATK with "Rush Recklessly" and afterwards "Unstable Evolution" is removed from the field or negated, etc., the monster's original ATK returns to normal and "Rush Recklessly" is reapplied.
If the equipped monster is also equipped with "Megamorph", first determine its new original ATK due to "Unstable Evolution" and then halve or double it with "Megamorph".
If "Unstable Evolution" is equipped to "King of the Skull Servants", "King of the Skull Servant's" original ATK becomes the value determined by "Unstable Evolution". When "Unstable Evolution" is negated or removed from the field, "King of the Skull Servant's" original ATK is determined by its effect.
If "Unstable Evolution" is equipped to "Megarock Dragon", its original ATK becomes the value determined by "Unstable Evolution". When "Unstable Evolution" is negated or removed from the field, "Megarock Dragon's" original ATK is determined by its own effect.
If "Unstable Evolution" is equipped to a "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" that was Normal Summoned or Set without Tributes, its original ATK is determined by "Unstable Evolution". When "Unstable Evolution" is negated or removed from the field, "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast's" ATK becomes halved to 1400.
The monster equipped with "Unstable Evolution" is not destroyed by "Overworked", because "Unstable Evolution" changes the monster original ATK to a new value. The monster will be destroyed if another effect increases its ATK.

Hello Judges.
For those of you helping out at The Duelist Genesis Sneak Preview this weekend, here's a synopsis of rules you might need. These rulings will also be posted in the Files section of the forum, and will go up on the official FAQ shortly.
For those not helping out, you should attend! You can find details at www.yugiohpreview.com
Attendees will receive a copy of "Avenging Knight Parshath", a promo card making its world debut at this Sneak Preview (while supplies last). Participants in the Sneak Preview are allowed to use this promo in their Sealed Decks.
Many thanks to Curtis Schultz for his help in preparing this document.
Have fun at the Sneak!

The Duelist Genesis is the first booster to include the exciting new Synchro and Tuner Monsters. Here is a summary of the rules for using these new cards:
Synchro Monsters have a White card border. Synchro Monsters go in your Extra Deck � they do not go in your Main Deck (see below).
In order to Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster, you need 1 Tuner monster (look for "Tuner" next to its Type). The Tuner Monster and other face-up monsters you use for the Synchro Summon are called Synchro Material Monsters. The sum of their Levels is the Level of Synchro Monster you can Summon.
To Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster:
1. Have a Tuner monster and 1 or more non-Tuner monsters face-up on the field.
2. Make sure the Levels of the monsters you want to use add up exactly to the Level of the Synchro Monster you want to Summon. (You don't have to use all your monsters.)
3. Send the Tuner and the other monsters you are using to your Graveyard.
4. Special Summon the Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck
You can use Tokens as Synchro Material Monsters.
You can Synchro Summon while "Dimensional Fissure," etc., is active.
After a Synchro Monster has been Synchro Summoned, if it is sent from the field to the Graveyard it can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with "Monster Reborn," etc.
Additionally, some game terms have changed:
The Fusion Deck is now called the Extra Deck.
Not just for Fusion Monsters anymore, you can also include the new white-framed Synchro Monster Cards in this Deck. The Extra Deck still uses all the same rules as the Fusion Deck. You can include up to 3 copies of a card in your Extra Deck.
"Multi-Trigger" Effect Monster effects are now called "Quick Effects."
This is a change in terminology to help players better identify and understand this category of monster effects. There are no rules changes to how any cards are played.
The contents of this document are structured as follows:
Card Name
Card Number (Card Type)
[Card Text]
Turbo Booster
TDGS-EN001 (Machine / Effect)
[If you have Normal Summoned a monster this turn, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can Tribute this card to destroy 1 monster your opponent controls that battled one of your monsters this turn.]
"Turbo Booster" can only be Special Summoned by its effect during your own Main Phases.
"Turbo Booster's" second effect is an Ignition Effect that you can activate during your Main Phase 2. Tributing "Turbo Booster" is a cost. This effect targets your opponent's monster.
If you Special Summon "Turbo Booster" during your Main Phase 2 you can still activate its second effect.
Quillbolt Hedgehog
TDGS-EN003 (Machine / Effect)
[If you control a face-up Tuner monster, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. If this card was Summoned this way, remove it from play when it is removed from the field.]
"Quillbolt Hedgehog's" Special Summon effect is an Ignition Effect.
If an effect is chained that removes your only Tuner monster from your side of the field, "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is not Special Summoned.
If "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is flipped face-down after it is Special Summoned by its effect, it is not removed from play when it is removed from the field, even if it is flipped face-up.
If "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is Special Summoned by its effect and is later removed from the field while "Skill Drain" is active, "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is still removed from play.
If you Special Summon "Quillbolt Hedgehog" with its effect and afterwards remove it from play with "Interdimensional Matter Transporter," "Quillbolt Hedgehog" is not returned to the field in the End Phase.
Ghost Gardna
TDGS-EN004 (Warrior / Effect)

If a "Ghost Gardna" in your hand or Deck is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard, its effect activates.

[When this card is Summoned, if you control a "Big Piece Golem", you can Special Summon 1 "Medium Piece Golem" from your Deck. That monster's effect is negated while it is face-up on the field.]
If "Small Piece Golem" is Special Summoned during the Damage Step, you can activate its effect.
If an effect is chained that removes your only "Big Piece Golem" from the field, "Medium Piece Golem" is still Special Summoned.
Medium Piece Golem
TDGS-EN007 (Rock / Effect)
[When this card is Summoned, if you control a "Big Piece Golem", you can Special Summon 1 "Small Piece Golem" from your Deck. That monster's effect is negated while it is face-up on the field.]

Sinister Sprocket
TDGS-EN009 (Fiend / Tuner)
[If this card is sent to the Graveyard for the Synchro Summon of a DARK Synchro Monster, you can destroy 1 face-up Spell or Trap Card.]
When "Sinister Sprocket" is used as a Synchro Material Monster, if the Synchro Monster becomes a DARK monster when it is Synchro Summoned (due to "DNA Transplant", etc.), you can activate "Sinister Sprocket's" effect.
Twin-Shield Defender
TDGS-EN011 (Warrior / Effect)
[When this card you control is destroyed by battle and sent to your Graveyard, you can halve the current ATK of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, until the End Phase.]
"Twin-Shield Defender's" effect targets 1 face-up monster your opponent controls.
"Twin-Shield Defender" halves the current ATK of the targeted monster, including any gains and/or losses from effects.
Example 1: "Sangan" equipped with "Axe of Despair" has 2000 ATK. If its ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender" it will have 1000 ATK.
Example 2: "Sangan's" original ATK is halved by "Shrink" to 500 ATK. If its ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender", it will have 250 ATK.
If "Rush Recklessly" is activated after "Twin-Shield Defender's" effect resolves, the ATK gained from "Rush Recklessly" is not halved.
If "Shrink" or "Megamorph" is activated after "Twin-Shield Defender's" effect resolves, "Twin-Shield Defender's" effect disappears.
Example 1: If "Sangan's" ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender" to 500 ATK and afterwards its original ATK is halved by "Shrink", it will have 500 ATK.
Example 2: If "Sangan's" ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender" to 500 ATK and afterwards it is equipped with "Megamorph", it will have 500 ATK or 2000 ATK (depending on Life Points).

[This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by sending 3 other monsters from your hand to the Graveyard. This card's ATK is equal to the combined Levels of the sent monsters x 300.]
You cannot Special Summon "Montage Dragon" while "Macro Cosmos" or "Dimensional Fissure", etc. is face-up on the field because you cannot send Monster Cards from your hand to the Graveyard.
If you send a WATER monster from your hand to the Graveyard while "A Legendary Ocean" is active, the original Level of the monster is used and not the reduced Level.
If "Montage Dragon" is flipped face-down by "Book of Moon", etc., when it is flipped face-up its ATK is 0.

If you activate "Dark Hunter's" "5 or more" effect and an effect is chained that reduces the number of DARK monsters in your Graveyard to 4 or less, "Dark Hunter's" effect still resolves.

If "Royal Oppression's" effect is activated to negate the Special Summon of a monster, like "Cyber Dragon" or "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus", "Stardust Dragon's" effect cannot be chained because the monster being Special Summoned is not considered to be "on the field" until its Summon is successful.
"Stardust Dragon's" second effect can only be chained to an effect that will destroy card(s) on the field. For example, if "Night Assailant" second effect is activated when it is discarded, "Stardust Dragon's" effect cannot be chained because this effect does not destroy card(s) on the field.
