Upper Deck Wins Major Victory in Support of Worldwide Yu-Gi-Oh! Players

Upper Deck Wins Major Victory in Support of Worldwide Yu-Gi-Oh! Players


U.S. and International courts side with Upper Deck in multiple legal actions involving Konami and the future of Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Games.


North Las Vegas, NV (December 27, 2008) – A California court has denied Konami's application for a temporary selling and shipping ban, effectively stopping any restrictions that would have prevented Upper Deck from marketing, selling, distributing and providing game support for the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game.


The Dutch courts also ruled in favor of Upper Deck, overruling Konami's alleged termination of its contract with Upper Deck. Accordingly, Upper Deck will continue its role as the exclusive distributor of the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game in all European territories, plus Australia and New Zealand. The complete release announcing this decision can be found at http://www.upperdeck-international.com/tabid/56/language/en-US/Default.aspx?AnnouncementID=11


Both victories clear the way for Upper Deck to continue distributing, marketing and selling Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG products in territories outside of Asia. "Upper Deck is very pleased with today's rulings", said Upper Deck executive Bernd Becker. "We look forward to continuing the superior game support that we've been delivering to worldwide Yu-Gi-Oh! players for the last seven years."


The unparalleled game support Upper Deck has provided to dedicated Yu-Gi-Oh! players around the world has led to another successful year for the trading card game, as evidenced by the current product sell-out. "This is as much a victory for the Yu-Gi-Oh! players as it is for Upper Deck," said Becker.

December 24th, 2008 Upper Deck International BV wins injunction against Konami

Upper Deck International BV wins injunction against Konami


December 24th, 2008 - Netherlands - The Dutch Court has decided in favour of Upper Deck Panoceanic CV and Upper Deck International BV.


The termination of the contract between Konami and Upper Deck is unfounded and has been overruled by the Dutch Court. As of immediately, Konami needs to put all in place to respect all aspects of the contract. This means that with immediate effect, Upper Deck International BV has been and will be the exclusive distributor of The Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game moving forward for all European territories.


Mr Nico Blauw, CEO of Upper Deck International BV is pleased with the outcome of the Court. 'In these hectic economic times, this is a great Christmas present for our employees, our customers and the player base'.

Organized Play Update


Organized Play Update


Dear Upper Deck players;

Upper Deck reiterates its commitment to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelists, event organizers, and retailers. Upper Deck intends to continue supporting Organized Play (OP) programs and all organizers who wish to run events. This includes Hobby Leagues, Sneak Previews, Regional Qualifiers, and all Championship tournaments.


As part of our continued support for OP, Duelist ratings will be updated on Upper Deck's Yu-Gi-Oh! website, as usual. Also, event organizers will still be able to use MANTIS®, Upper Deck's proprietary software, to run their Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments. Please visit WannaDuel.com for the latest information about Upper Deck's sanctioned Yu-Gi-Oh! Organized Play events.


Thank you to everyone who took part in Upper Deck's Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME Regional Qualifiers this past weekend. Upper Deck knows the vital role that Duelists play in helping to create the fantastic gaming environment that keeps the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG growing. We are unwavering in our commitment to you – the players, organizers, and retailers – and will do everything within our power to maintain the same high level of Organized Play during this uncertain time.


As a company, Upper Deck is committed to providing exceptional OP events for players of all ages and skill levels. 2009 will be a very exciting year, as we continue to grow our existing OP programs, introduce new formats, and roll out programs for our new games, such as the Dinosaur King TCG and the Huntik: Secrets & Seekers TCG. Upper Deck is also proud to offer a new, in-depth "Road to Worlds" OP program for the World of Warcraft TCG and Miniatures Game, which will culminate in the 2009 World Championship, featuring $250,000 in cash and prizes.


Without a doubt, 2009 will be a great year for Upper Deck players! To find out more about the OP opportunities for all of our great games, please visit UDE.com.

Segundo mensaje de UD International

Upper Deck files injunction against Konami


Upper Deck Panoceanic C.V. and Upper Deck International B.V. (hereinafter called: "Upper Deck") wish to broadcast the following statement.


Upper Deck files injunction against Konami. Upper Deck was given no other choice since Konami unlawfully terminated the exclusive distribution agreement for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.


"We need to protect our company's interest but more importantly, we need to stand up for the Yu-Gi-Oh! brand, our customers and our players. Konami's unfounded decision caught us all by surprise and their statement has seriously damaged the Yu-Gi-Oh! brand and Upper Deck's excellent reputation in the marketplace. We worry for Yu-Gi-Oh!'s future as Konami has never really contributed anything to the brand", according to an Upper Deck representative.


This injunction is planned for December 22nd in The Netherlands.

Primer Comunicado de UpperDeck

Upper Deck Panoceanic C.V. Y Upper Deck International B.V. (De aquí en adelante llamadas: "Upper Deck")  desean transmitir el siguiente comunicado de prensa.

Recientemente muchos medios de comunicación han reportado que 
Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. y/o Konami Marketing Inc. y/o Konami Digital Entertainment Inc. y/o sus afiliados alrededor del mundo. (de aquí en adelante llamadas: "Konami") están tomando el control todos los aspectos operativos y de negocio de Yu-Gi-Oh!TM TRADING CARD GAME 
con efecto inmediato, basado en el presunto término de los acuerdos de distribución con Upper Deck. De acuerdo con este reporte Konami también tomaría el control de la distribución, así como el soporte a los clientes en relación a Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME

Upper Deck desea señalar con un profundo énfasis que los reportes antes mencionados son falsos, no hay ningún fundamento legal o justificación para el esta terminación por Konami, por lo tanto esta terminación es indebida.

En relación al negocio de Yu-Gi-Oh! TM TRADING CARD GAME Upper Deck 
es todavía el único y exclusivo distribuidor, y continuará proveyendo los productos de Yu-Gi-Oh!TM TRADING CARD GAME  a todos sus clientes actuales. Upper Deck ha mandado ya una carta de advertencia a Konami, demandando que Konami cese la difusión de este errónea e ilícita información, y se le pide que rectifique de inmediato.
Si Konami voluntariamente no cumple con lo aquí señalado, Upper Deck tomará todas las acciones legales necesarias de forma inmediata.

Basados en el precedente, Upper Deck continuara manejado su negocio con todos sus contrapartes de manera usual.

 
Saludos respetuosos 
A nombre de Upper Deck

Dec. 5, 2008 - Basic Gameplay FAQ Update - Field Spell Cards

Judges,
The Basic Gameplay FAQ on the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG website has been updated to include a section explaining Field Spell Cards.
You can read the entry here:
http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/basicgameplay/default.aspx

The entry added to the FAQ:

Field Spell Cards 12/05/2008
Field Spell Cards are a kind of Spell Card that can only be placed into the Field Spell Card Zone. There can only be 1 face-up Field Spell Card on the field at any time between both players. When you activate or Set a Field Spell Card, you place it into your Field Spell Card Zone. You cannot Set a Field Spell Card in your Spell and Trap Card Zone.

If you have a Field Spell Card in your Field Spell Card Zone, you can still activate or Set a new Field Spell Card from your hand. When you do, the old Field Spell Card is immediately destroyed and placed into the Graveyard. If your opponent negates the activation of your new Field Spell Card or destroys it before it can resolve, the old Field Spell Card is still destroyed.

Example 1:
Player A has "Umi" face-up in his Field Spell Card Zone. If he activates "Zombie World" from his hand, "Umi" is immediately destroyed and placed into his Graveyard, and "Zombie World" is placed face-up in his Field Spell Card Zone.

Example 2:
Player A has "Rising Air Current" face-up in her Field Spell Card Zone. She activates "Sanctuary in the Sky", destroying "Rising Air Current" and placing it into her Graveyard. Player B chains "Magic Jammer". When "Magic Jammer" resolves, "Sanctuary in the Sky" is negated and destroyed. "Rising Air Current" remains in the Graveyard.

If you have a Field Spell Card face-up in your Field Spell Card Zone and your opponent Sets a Field Spell Card, your Field Spell Card is not destroyed. If your opponent activates their Field Spell Card, your Field Spell Card is not immediately destroyed. If you negate the activation of your opponent's Field Spell Card or destroy it before it resolves, your Field Spell Card will remain on the field.

Example 1:
Player A has "Necrovalley" face-up in his Field Spell Card Zone. Player B, activates "Wasteland". Player A chains "Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell". When the Chain resolves, "Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell" negates and destroys "Wasteland". Player A's "Necrovalley" remains face-up in her Field Spell Card Zone.

Example 2:
Player A has "Rising Air Current" face-up in his Field Spell Card Zone. Player B activates "Mystic Plasma Zone". Player A chains "Mystical Space Typhoon" and targets "Mystic Plasma Zone". When the Chain resolves, "Mystical Space Typhoon" destroys "Mystic Plasma Zone". Player A's "Rising Air Current" remains face-up in his Field Spell Card Zone.

December 02, 2008: CSOC Rules Updates

Judges,

The following rulings will be added to the FAQ sometime in the near future.


Elemental Hero Divine Neos

Removing 1 "Neos", "Neo-Spacian", "Elemental Hero", "Destiny Hero", or
"Evil Hero" monster in your Graveyard from play is a cost.

You can remove from play a Normal Monster "Neos" or "Elemental Hero"
monster to activate the effect of "Elemental Hero Divine Neos". In
this case "Elemental Hero Divine Neos" will not gain any effects.

If you use "Elemental Hero Neos" as a Fusion Material Monster, it can
be used as a "Neos" monster or an "Elemental Hero" monster, but it
cannot be used as both at the same time. If you use it as a "Neos"
monster, you will still need another "Elemental Hero", "Destiny Hero"
or "Evil Hero" monster.

"Neo-Spacian" monsters cannot be used as "Neos" Fusion Material Monsters.

If you remove "Evil Hero Dark Gaia" to activate the effect of
"Elemental Hero Divine Neos", the original ATK of "Elemental Hero
Divine Neos'" does not change.

If you return "Elemental Hero Divine Neos" to your Extra Deck by using
"Contact Out", you cannot Special Summon the Fusion Material Monsters
used to Fusion Summon it because the Fusion Material Monsters listed
on "Elemental Hero Divine Neos" are not specificly named cards.


Goka, the Pyre of Malice

"Goka, the Pyre of Malice's" first effect targets 1 FIRE monster you control.

Tributing 1 FIRE monster is a cost to activate "Goka, the Pyre of
Malice's" third effect.

If you do not have an open Monster Card Zone during your Standby
Phase, "Goka, the Pyre of Malice's" second effect still activates, but
its effect disappears when it resolves.


Mosaic Manticore

"Mosaic Manticor's" effects a Trigger Effect that activates during the
Standby Phase of your next turn.

"Mosaic Manticore's" effect does not target.

The effects of the monsters Special Summoned by "Mosaic Manticore" are
only negated if they activate on the field or are applied while the
monster is on the field. If a monster Special Summoned by "Mosaic
Manticore" has an effect that activates while it is in the Graveyard
or when it is sent to the Graveyard , the effect will not be negated.
If "Mosaic Manticore" is removed from the field before your next
Standby Phase after Tribute Summoning it, the monsters you Tributed
are not Special Summoned.

If you Tribute 2 monsters to Tribute Summon "Mosaic Manticore" and 1
of the monsters is removed from the Graveyard, during your next
Standby Phase you will Special Summon the monster that is still in
your Graveyard.

If you only have 1 open Monster Card Zone during your next Standby
Phase after Tribute Summoning "Mosaic Manticore", when "Mosaic
Manticore's" effect resolves, choose 1 of the 2 Tributed monsters and
Special Summon it.

If 1 of the 2 monsters Tributed to Tribute Summon "Mosaic Manticore"
cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard, when "Mosaic
Manticore's" effect resolves in your next Standby Phase, Special
Summon the monster that can be Special Summoned.

If you Tribute monsters to Set "Mosaic Manticore", "Mosaic
Manticore's" effect can be activated if it is flipped face-up before
your next Standby Phase.

If your "Mosaic Manticore" is flipped face-down after being Tributed
Summoned and is flipped face-up before your next Standby Phase, its
effect can be activated during your next Standby Phase.

If your opponent takes control of your "Mosaic Manticore" after you
Tribute Summon it and retains control of it during your next Standby
Phase, "Mosaic Manticore's" effect does not activate. If control of
"Mosaic Manticore" is returned to your before your next Standby Phase,
its effect activates during your next Standby Phase.

If you Tribute your opponent's monster, it will be Special Summoned
onto your side of the field when "Mosaic Manticore's" effect resolves.

If a monster Tributed to Tribute Summon "Mosaic Manticore" is removed
from the Graveyard and is later returned to your Graveyard, the
monster is not Special Summoned by "Mosaic Manticore's" effect.

Even if "Mosaic Manticore" is removed from the field, the monsters
Special Summoned by its effect still cannot attack and their effects
are still negated.

If a monster Special Summoned by the effect of "Mosaic Manticore" is
flipped face-down, after it is flipped face-up it can attack and its
effects are not negated.

If "Skill Drain" is activated after the monsters Tributed to Tribute
Summon "Mosaic Manticore" are Special Summoned by its effect, the
monsters still cannot attack and their effects are negated.

If you Special Summon "Exiled Force" with "Mosaic Manticore's" effect,
you can activate the effect of "Exiled Force", but its effect is
negated.


Neos Wiseman

If the monster "Neos Wiseman" battles is destroyed, the damage
inflicted by "Neos Wiseman's" effect is equal to the original ATK of
the destroyed monster and the Life Points gained are equal to its
original DEF. If the monster remains on the field, the damage
inflicted is equal to the current ATK of the monster and the Life
Points gained are equal to its current DEF.

If the monster "Neos Wiseman" battles is returned to its owner's Deck
or hand, or it is flipped face-down, before the end of the Damage
Step, "Neos Wiseman's" effect disappears.


Puppet Master

Paying 2000 Life Points is a cost.

You cannot activate "Puppet Master's" effect if you don't have 2 or
more Fiend-Type monsters in your Graveyard that you can Special
Summon.

If "Skill Drain" is activated during the same turn the Fiend-Type
monsters are Special Summoned by the effect of "Puppet Master", the
Fiend-Type monsters still cannot attack that turn.


Red Ogre

Sending card(s) from your hand to the Graveyard is a cost.

"Red Ogre's" effect targets card(s) on the field.


Time Machine

"Time Machine" is activated at the end of the Damage Step, when
monsters destroyed by battle are sent to the Graveyard.

"Time Machine's" effect does not target.

If a face-down Defense Position monster is attacked and is destroyed
by battle, when it is Special Summoned by "Time Machine" it is Special
Summoned in face-up Defense Position.
If a monster is Special Summoned onto your side of the field with
"Time Machine" during your Battle Phase, it may attack again during
that Battle Phase.

If you activate "Time Machine" when your monster that is being
controlled by your opponent is destroyed by battle and sent to the
Graveyard, when "Time Machine" resolves your monster is Special
Summoned onto your opponent's side of the field. If your opponent had
taken control of the monster with "Brain Control", etc., it will
remain under your opponent's control and will not return to your side
of the field in the End Phase.

If you destroy your opponent's monster by battle, when it is sent to
the Graveyard you can activate "Time Machine". If you do, the monster
is Special Summoned onto your opponent's side of the field.

If a monster that cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard is
destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, "Time Machine" cannot
be activated.

Any Equip Cards that were equipped to the monster when it was
destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard are not requipped to the
monster when it is Special Summoned.

If a Toon Monster like "Toon Mermaid", "Toon Summoned Skull",
"Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon", or "Manga Ryu-Ran" is destroyed by battle and
set to the Graveyard while "Toon World" is not face-up on the field,
"Time Machine" cannot be activated.

If a monster with an effect that activates when it is destroyed by
battle is sent to the Graveyard, like "Sangan" or "Giant Rat", you can
chain "Time Machine".

If two monsters with equal ATK are both destroyed by the same battle,
"Time Machine" cannot be activated.

If "Embodiment of Apophis" is destroyed by battle and sent to the
Graveyard, "Time Machine" cannot be activated because "Embodiment of
Apophis" is not a monster while in the Graveyard.

Cards like "Torrential Tribute" cannot be activated when a monster is
Special Summoned by "Time Machine", because cards like "Torrential
Tribute" cannot be activated in the Damage Step.

When your "Makyura the Destructor" is destroyed by battle and sent to
the Graveyard, you can activate "Time Machine" from your hand.

If a Fusion Monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by
"Metamorphosis" is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard,
"Time Machine" cannot be activated because the Fusion Monster was not
properly Special Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned from the
Graveyard.

If your "Sealmaster Meisei" is destroyed by battle and sent to the
Graveyard while you control "Talisman of Trap Sealing", you can
activate "Time Machine" because "Talisman of Trap Sealing" is
destroyed when "Sealmaster Mesei" is removed from the field.

If "Jinzo" is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can
activate "Time Machine".


Virus Cannon

Tributing monster(s) is a cost.

If you target your opponent's monster with "Soul Exchange", it can be
Tribute to activate "Virus Cannon".

If the number of Spell Cards remaining in your opponent's Deck is less
than the number of monsters you Tributed to activate "Virus Cannon",
every Spell Card remaining in your opponent's Deck is sent to the
Graveyard and your opponent must show you their Deck to verify.

You cannot Tribute a face-up "Jinzo" to activate "Virus Cannon"
because "Jinzo's" effect prevents Trap Cards from being activated.

Non-Monster Cards Special Summoned by the effect of "Magical Hats" can
be Tributed to activate "Virus Cannon".

Tournament Policy Update

http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/COMMUNITY/files/28/english/category1008.aspx


Hi everyone,

I've uploaded a new Tournament Policy file to the files section of
these forums. Changes in the policy include:

- Updating terminology from Upper Deck Entertainment (UDE) to Upper
Deck (UD) wherever possible.

- Adding a new Conduct Unbecoming section that explains what happens
when players break Tournament Policy and/or get DQed at a tournament.

- Changed the notes policy from "can't carry over notes from game to
game" to "can't carry over notes from match to match"

- Consolidated customer service mailboxes.
