Yu-Gi-Oh/Giant Germ

Expert: Pat Sullivan - 6/21/2007


Question
My friend has a dragon deck, and in it he has 3 Giant Germs. If I attack one of his Giant Germs, does he get to go through his deck and find 2-3 Blue Eyes to Special Summon? Or does he just get to Special Summon his other Giant Germs?
He has the old Giant Germ cards and it doesn't specify if he can Special Summon his Blue Eyes, or just the other Giant Germs. (I know that the newer Giant Germs specifically say, Special Summon up to 2 more Giant Germs.)

Answer
giant germs, nimble momongas effects only refer to other giant germs or momonga, no matter what the original wording is, the card was reprinted and ruled to only refer to cards with the same name as themselves (momonga/germ). he cannot do the blue eyes trick.

I can answer most to all Yugioh questions on rulings and possibly make deck fixes as needed (i am cutting down on deck fixes, as there have been too many pileups, and i have too many things i am busy with to keep doing fixes. i am sorry, but in that case u will be refered to the question pool/rejected. i can still rate them, and maybe even make suggestions, but i am just unable to do them continuously right now. sorry again). please do not ask me to make a deck for anyone from scratch. i can however make suggestions on how to create particular decks. Also when u ask for a fix, please make sure to confirm what u want the deck is/does. this means i want to know your strategy/theme. when u say those words in reference to a deck, it means a strategy being something like beatdown, burn, etc. a theme is what kind of cards and support do u want to use in your strategy, like using beasts for beatdown, or even beast burn. please make sure u state this, otherwise i cant do a very efficient fix. I would also like to add that i will not fix any deck that is presented to me in a paragraph format. It's both messy and hard to understand, and takes up too much time to sort out. Do not send me a list that is a giant paragraph as it will be rejected. Please type your deck list in an orderly column that separates each section (monster/spell/trap) and with one line per card name. I repeat, NO PARAGRAPH DECKLISTS!
