Opening if the spirit gates is a soft once per turn for the revive and recycle of the continuous, so you use one of the two effects per copy for opening of the spirit gates

About Nightmare Pain, we use "layers" to decide what will happen. If multiple effects change how you conduct damage calculation, apply them in the following order:

01: Inflicts double battle damage.
02: Battle damage is taken by both players.
03: Battle damage you take is also inflicted to your opponent / your opponent takes any battle damage you would take instead.
04: Battle damage is treated as effect damage.
05: The player gains Life Points instead of taking battle damage.
06: Battle damage becomes 0.
07: Battle damage is halved.
08: Battle damage is doubled.
09: Battle damage becomes X (X being a predetermined value).
10: You do not take battle damage if it is more or less than X.
(However, note that if the Battle Damage has become 0 when applying "06" effects, the remaining effects are not applied.)

Since damage is reflected on step 3, the opponent takes it, but if Pain is negated somehow we move to step 6 and we take 0 Damage. In Paidra's case, Pain will try to reflect that damage but after that Paidra makes it 0 so they take no battle damage. If they attack any Yubel except Spirit they still take the effect damage from their effects though.

I recently starting testing yubel and I can’t put the deck down I’m enjoying it so much I was gonna build tenpai along side yubel but I’m now thinking max rarity yubel is the move

Bonus ruling linking away with Unchained isn't considered removal by a card effect so it won't trigger a Masquarade or the ritual spell of VV in gy when you take their Skull Guardian (ruling on Rage against Sky Striker Ace Raye). However that pesky Mirrorjade triggers by "an opponent's card" and when used as material for the Link Summon, SP is our card so the boardwipe will happen.

Bonus tip about Favorite, you can cheese Snakes really hard by using CL1 Eternal for a revive, CL2 removal on Flamberge. Since neither player can activate effects, the lose the float.

Finally knowing priority is really important. For example if you have both Yubel and Terror in your end phase, you can tribute Terror before it tries to nuke the board. Also Yubel tributes as an effect, so Terror can float into Ultimate that way and Throne will trigger as well if not used.
About Mirrorjade VS SP end phase effects, the turn player must resolve first. A sneaky opponent will pass you priority once, you can pass back if you're not the turn player and now they have to resolve their Mirrorjade before SP returns. Of course if it's your turn, they will force SP to return before wiping with Mirrorjade.

I think the replacement effect of samsara works against unaffected tenpai dragons too.

Also say your opponent has plasma/skill drain, would you be able to destroy a yubel monster using grave squirmers effect? My simulator test resulted in yes. How would you explain why it works?

[dustinwoost]

Can someone explain why terror incarnate misses timing when linkked for cross sheep?

Hey I have a general question… if you normal summon tour guide, use its effect to special summon samsara D lotus with its effects negated…. BUT, samsara D lotus effects tributes itself for cost.. wouldn’t that mean you can still attempt to activate the effect, tributing it, and since it’s no longer on field, the effect will actually go through and it can summon out the spirit of yubel…

If the opponent attacks og yubel while you have pain, 1 does she activate to do damage or does just take damage and 2 does the opponent take double damage because of yubel and nightmare pain?

[TemporalDelusion]

Was hoping to see something about tenpai. Any idea how those interact? Does nightmare pain still deal damage even if you "can't activate" it in the battle phase because of the two head synchro for example?
Lot's of tenpai interactions just make no sense to me.
