Can my opponent flip deskoichy then enchanted locomotive, (flip, draw 1 card) and then summon Tsukyomi and then flip it back again?

Or even...can he use book of moon to flip it face down, and FLIP it UP in the same turn??

What is the correct rulings?

Sometime he flips it in his turns, it{s my turn, then he gets his turn back and summons Tsukyomi flipping deskoichi, then draw, then book of moon, then deskoichy again. Please bear with this question, i need to print it for him to see. Thanks.

No...cause when he manually Flip Summons Dekoichi, he used up his Flip Summon for the turn...he'd have to use a card effect to flip it back up...

If the monster...

A.) Was Summoned/Set that turn
B.) Declared an attack (doesn't matter if it was negated or not)

or

C.) Was already manually changed that turn

...then you CANNOT manually change its position that turn...it would have to be through a card effect...

I think they can only flip summon it if it were NOT yet summoned on the same turn.

so in the case of flip-tsukuyomi-flip, it's not legal, because the card is already flipped summoned once (or changed position) so it cannot manually change its position again.

Also...to back it up...

Battle Position Changes Added June 2005


A Monster Card’s battle position in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME can be changed in one of two ways:

1. A "manual" change. This is when you use your once-per-turn battle position change on a monster, during your Main Phase 1 or 2, to change it from attack position to defense position or vice versa. This includes a Flip Summon. There are some restrictions on when you can do this (see below).

2. A change because of a card effect. Examples: “Enemy Controller”, “Zero Gravity”, “Guardian Sphinx”, “Book of Moon” and “Tsukuyomi”.

A “manual” change can only be performed during your Main Phase 1 or 2. There are 3 exceptions that will prevent you from “manually” changing a monster’s battle position:

Exception #1: You cannot “manually” change the battle position of a monster if it declared an attack that turn (even if the attack was negated or a replay occurred).

Exception #2: You cannot “manually” change the battle position of a monster if it was Summoned or Set that turn by the turn player.

Exception #3: You cannot “manually” change the battle position of a monster if its battle position was already changed “manually” that turn (including if it was Flip Summoned).


Please note that:

You CAN always change the battle position of a monster with a card effect, even if any of the above exceptions prevent you from changing its battle position “manually”.


You CAN change the battle position of a monster “manually” if its battle position was changed by a card effect previously that turn (as long as none of the 3 exceptions exist). Example: You activate “Book of Moon” and flip a monster into face-down Defense Position. Then you can Flip Summon it that same turn, as long as none of the 3 exceptions exist.

You CAN change the battle position of a monster “manually” if it was Summoned or Set, but not by the turn player. Example: “Cyber Jar” Summons a monster on the opponent’s side of the field, and the turn player uses “Change of Heart” to take control of it, then Flip Summons it that same turn. This is a legal play (as long as none of the 3 exceptions exist).


You CAN change the battle position of a monster “manually” if it was returned to the field because of “Dimensionhole”, because it does not Summon the monster (as long as none of the 3 exceptions exists).
