Last Turn Series - Part 1 - Elephant Statue of Disaster
3,254(Expect at least 4 more videos about Last Turn rulings)
Last Turn is a banned card that might have the most amount of ruling confusions with how incredibly weirdly it's worded, as it sends all other cards of the field to the graveyard, summons a monster from your opponents deck, forces a special second battle phase, then forces you to enter the end phase were a lingering effect resolves to check the board state, and makes sure there's only 1 monster on the field to announce a win or a draw. However with so much happening all at once, it's hard to know if effects are able to resolve during any point to this and actually when you can do things.
So what happens if Elephant Statue of Disaster is sent to the graveyard during the first phase of the effect? This is a card that activates when it's discarded from the hand to inflict 2000 points of damage to your opponent, and you need to have less than 1000 life points to activate Last Turn, so if it's hit then you'll be able to win the game right there. And based on some OCG rulings, there's actually a little bit of a pause before you enter the special battle phase, which allows affects to resolve, like that of elephant statue being sent to the graveyard, or the summon effects like Armageddon knight. So elephant statue can actually win you the game. However there's many other interesting rulings with this card, which we'll cover in the next part of this series.
