Question
ok so me and my friends wer eplaying today and he activated scapegoat and i tried to dust it and he said no u cant and i said u can because evn tho its a monster its half monster/halk spell so you havr to treat it both ways am i right or is he

Answer
Well, here is the problem:

Sorry to tell you this, but you basically wasted Dust Tornado. He already activated Scapegoat, and it still resolves since Dust Tornado does not negate the activation/effect of any card(It simply destroys it).

Although your move is legal, it's not recommended for the smart duelist.

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):

Rulings

Forbidden/Limited List (UPDATED: September 1, 2010)

I will ONLY fix Final Countdown/Self-Destruct Button decks, as I pay attention to the rules more so that everyone plays it right. If you ask me for competitive 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.

Konami regains control of Yu-Gi-Oh. (PDF Document - Press Release)

UPDATE: Crappy connection put my account on hiatus and prevented me from answering past questions.. -.- I can't tell if this will happen again, but hopefully it won't. Be clear and use punctuation. Nothing related to deck fixes/checks/ratings (except for the ones listed above) 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.
