Hello Pojo user! It's me again, with yet another article. I felt as though my last article didn't exactly go the way I had hoped it to go. I didn't get any responses, which doesn't let me know if people liked my article or not. So if you like it, perfect. E-mail me. I'll leave it at the bottom. If you don't, excellent. E-mail me still. I'm up for a little debate, of course.

To start things off, I would like to begin with an in-depth look at Mystical Space Typhoon. I have seen countless people mistake the rulings behind MST. One of the many different mistakes made is that people feel as though MST can negate magic or traps cards. I've read a few Top Tens or CCGs that state the fact that you can set this card face down, then negate your opponent's Harpie's Feather Duster or Raigeki. THIS DOES NOT NEGATE MAGIC OR TRAP CARDS!! You CAN chain this to Harpie's Feather Duster or Raigeki, but it will only destroy the card. If you read the card, there is NOTHING about negation. Another thing that many people do not know is that MST can destroy Imperial Order. How? Watch:

Imperial Order is activated (spell speed 2). MST is activated in response (spell speed 2). MST's effect activates and resolves before Imperial Order's effect can activate and resolve, thus destroying IO. Why does this work? Because MST is not actually negating IO. It is only destroying it. Since IO's effect can only be in effect while it is on the field, this combination is valid.  However, you cannot destroy IO using MST while it is active.

One other small thing about Quick-Play Spell Cards in general. If you play a quick-play card face down during your turn, and your opponent activates a trap or another quick-play, you CANNOT activate your own quick-play in response. They basically gain the attributes of a trap card, in an analogy.

Now for Special Summoning. Some people are in the dark on this certain aspect of Yu-Gi-Oh! Those certain people believe that you can drop a Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End or Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth into the Graveyard, and special summon them using a Monster Reborn, Call of the Haunted, or Premature Burial. Just. Plain. NO! To do this, the monster needs to initially be summoned through the use of its special summoning effect, if it has one. Lava Golem cannot be sent straight to the Graveyard from your hand only to be Monster Reborned next turn. Gate Guardian cannot be discarded through Graceful Charity only to be Premature Burial-ed...etc. You get the picture.

**Assume rant possition**

I have a problem with the cards that have been listed in the Top Tens. Of course, I am not going to put anyone down, or tell anyone that they don't have the freedom to their own opinions. But when I'm seeing people who claim that Cyber Jar is a bad card, or that Sinister Serpent is under rated because it is constantly being discarded, or the amount of people that have beefs with cards like Jinzo, Vampire Lord, Raigeki, etc. First of all, Cyber Jar is not to be used in every deck. It adds plenty of speed to those decks that need it. Some decks, like my "Tomato-Control", do not need any more speed, nor do they need to pump cards into the opponent's hand. Sinister Serpent is just a perfect card, since it is, essentially, "free" to discard. Of course, you can't discard it twice per turn, hence the quotation marks. As for Jinzo, Vampire Lord, Raigeki, etc. there is a reason why they've been restricted to one per deck. They are GOOD cards. The only problems people have with them is the fact that they've been beaten by them.

**Rant is over. Resume your daily activities**

Thank you for actually reading my article through to the end. I love it when people listen to me for more than 30 seconds. Like I said, I'll leave my e-mail, just so that you can send me any questions, comments, "hate" mail, whatever.
