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(updated as new boosters are released):
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).
NEWS: Konami reclaimed all operational and business aspects of Yu-Gi-Oh. Upperdeck Entertainment no longer has control in the United States.
UPDATE: Down to 3 questions per day. Hopefully, there will be no problems with my connection. 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.

Question QUESTION: Hello, I have some doubts, please help me:
1.- If I have on the field begone, knave! and ultimate offering, Can I attack with my monster, then he returns because begone's effect and then activate ultimate offering to summon another one and finally repeat this to kill my opponent???
2.- Stardust dragon assault mode can negate sangan effect?
3.- If there is no monster in the graveyard when solidarity is activated, monsters on the field cannot gain attack?
4.- When the effect of Archfiend of Gilfer is activated and equip it to a monster, is this consider like a magic card?
5.- If my opponent has 4 parts of exodia the forbidden one in his hand and then he draws the last part of exodia in his draw phase and I activate drop off, what happens? He win the duel or no?
Please, I'll appreciate your help
ANSWER: 1. No, you would be playing Ultimate Offering illegally.
"You can pay 500 Life Points to Normal Summon or Set 1 extra monster. You can only activate this effect during your Main Phase or your opponent's Battle Phase."
That's the effect of Ultimate Offering.
2. I think so.
3. That's right.
4. Yes.
5. He'll win before you can activate anything.

QUESTION: So...
1.- If Archfiend of gilfer is considered spell, each time he is equiped on a monster I can put a counter on magical citadel of endymion ?
2.- If caius is summoned and then I chain imperial iron wall, what happen with the effect of th shadow monarch? The select carda goes to the graveyard?
3.- Why Dark ruler hades effect cannot stop d.d. scout plane effect? I mean, for example macro cosmos is activated when hades attacks d.d. scout plane, so I guess it cannot return or monster must be send to the graveyard to make valid the hades?
4.- In a chain, forbbiden chalice can negate stadust dragon assault mode effect?
5.- When grasschoper gains his effect and attacks a monster like shining angel, can attack the next one?
Sorry if I made a mistake in my writting, bye
ANSWER: 1. He is not a Spell that's activated, so no.
2. Caius' effect will still resolve. You can't chain a Continuous Trap and expect it to work right away.
3. Rephrase your question.
4. Since Stardust is already off the field, you can't chain Forbidden Chalice to it.
5. Yes.

QUESTION: Ok, I'll try:
1.- Macrocosmos is activated on the field, then, Dark Ruler Ha Des destroyS D.D. Scout Plane, he is removed because macrocosmos. Why D.D. Scout Plane returns? He was destroyed by Ha Des. I guess all monsters destroyed must be sent to the graveyard??
2.- If Ha Des destroys Tongue Twister, its effect is negated even is it is removed from the graveyard by its own effect?
3.- Shrink works like this?
A: I have newdoria equipped with united we stand
B: My opponent use shrink on it
C: Newdoria's original attack is 1200, then I sustract 600 plus 800 of the spell newdoria's attack now is 1400??
4.- If I normal summon beast king barbaros with 1900, and then I use shrink, at the end phase becomes 1900 or 3000?
Thanks
Answer 1. It's because D.D. Scout Plane's effect is Continuous, so it can't really be negated by Dark Ruler Ha Des.
2. Tongue Twister won't activate when it's destroyed. The first thing that has to happen is it being tributed.
