AboutPatrick Expertise I can answer any questions about RULINGS only with the Yu-Gi-Oh English TCG. I get my information from the official source, so if you tell me something that contradicts the official rules, I will give you the exact ruling(or similar situation) with explanation. My advice to you is get the rulings on every single card in YOUR DECK before starting to duel!
A good site to look for rulings would be(now includes Light of Destruction & The Dark Emperor!):
I CANNOT do deck fixes, as I pay attention to the rules more so that everyone plays it right. If you ask me for deck fixes, I will immediately sent it to the Question Pool(No, this is not rejecting your question).
UPDATE: Down to 5 questions per day. Sorry for any inconvenience. Be clear and use punctuation. Nothing related to deck fixes/checks/ratings or card prices/trades/whereabouts.
NOTE: This should not happen, but I'll post it here anyway: Due to limited connectivity to the internet/personal problems, I am terribly sorry if it takes me more than 24 hours to answer your question. If you send "non-ruling"-related questions, do not expect a reply.
Experience I know the rulings.. and I only get them from the official source. Even then, some people will do anything to win(even if it goes against the rules), such as arguing who's right and wrong.

Expert: Patrick Date: 7/7/2008 Subject: d-hero diamond dude's effect???
Question Hi!
i want to ask if we use diamond dude's effect and we get cards like monster gate or a feather of phoenix o we still must discard or tribute a monster???
And i want to know if we can acivate dd effect more than once like when we summon dd and use its effect and we do monster gate on it and we got another dd can we use the other dd's effect again???
Answer Diamond Dude's effect may only be activated once.
RULING: "Since you are only activating the Normal Spell Card's effect, and not the Normal Spell Card itself, you do not pay costs and you do not have to meet any activation requirements. For example, you would not pay 1000 Life Points for "Confiscation", or discard 1 card for "Monster Reincarnation", or need a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" on the field to activate the effect of "Burst Stream of Destruction"."
