1)No cuz when they are in the spell, trap zone they are considered continuous magic cards..not crystal beast
2)no you don't
3)no cuz when they are in the spell, trap zone they are considered continuous magic cards..not crystal beast
4)no you can't
5)MST has to be in your bro's field if he activates it during your turn...

1. Ok say i have gem beast emerald turtle in my spell zone and i have one set.my brother activates nobleman of crossout does the one in my spell zone also get removed from play or not?

No because it is not a flip-effect monster and so long as it is in your magic/trap zone it is treated as a continuous spell card. Also this effect cannot be used if a "Crystal Beast" monster is destroyed by a card effect while face-down.

2.let's say there is 4 counters already on clock tower prison do you take no damage even from direct attacks when there's no monsters on my field?

You take no damage even when you have no monsters on your side of the field.

3.for gem beast cobalt eagle's effect can i also send a gem beast in my spell zone to the top of the deck or not?

Yes you can because it only states a "Crystal Beast" card.

4. Can Rainbow Dragon be summoned in my opponents turn as well?

Rainbow Dragon is just like any other 'nomi' monster and you cannont special summon during your opponents turn.

5.i activated gem abundance and my brother activated mst does it still work or not?

Sending the 4 Crystal Beasts from your spell/trap zone to the grave yard is a cost and you pay this cost upon activation of Crystal Abundance. Your opponent can activate MST but he/she will only be able to target Crystal Abundance because you have paid the cost already to activate the card and the only card left for MST to target is Crystal Abundance and seeing as MST does not negate Crystal Abundance's effect they would have essentially wasted a card. Either way the effect of Crystal Abundance will activate.

5) Nope. *quotes the UDE rulings*
Since sending the crystallized CBs to your Graveyard is a cost, your opponent can't chain MST to destroy them (because by the time he can activate it, they're already gone). He can use it it destroy Crystal Abundance if he wants, though this, of course, won't negate its effect.

Of course, a smart move in this situation for him would be to use that MST to destroy one of his own S/T, especially a Premature Burial/Call of the Haunted he's got out. This drastically reduces the number of cards Crystal Abundance gets to hit, which thus reduces the number of Crystal Beasts you get to summon.

I got a question to add on to #5

Would the used up MST still count as a card sent to the grave by Crystal Abundance? (I think the answer is No but I wanna be 100%)

Peace...

Yes it would count as a card sent to the graveyard by Crystal Abundance

It really doesn't matter if it's not a flip effect or not for the question in hand, if it was a FLIP effect it would still not be removed as it would be on the field. Nobleman only removes copies from the deck.

2. Already covered.

In this case, Cobalt Eagle does not specify it has to be a monster card, so Cobalt Eagle can select a Gem Beast in the s/t zone.


4. Covered.

5. Covered.

Actually it will count, since cards remain on the field for the duration of the chain. (unless of course a card is destroyed or sent by another effect)

reference, Chaos Emperor Dragon:

If "Waboku" is chained to the effect of "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End", it will not prevent the damage because "Waboku" only applies to Battle Damage. Also, "Waboku" will still be on the field when "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End"'s effect is applied, so it will still count for 300 points of damage to the opponent.

I believe it would, because all cards in a chain stay on the field until the entire chain has completely resolved (not counting cards that were removed from the field by an effect).

Wait, then how come if someone targetted Bottomless Trap Hole with Raiza and the other person chained it in response, the Bottomless would go to the Grave and not the top of the deck?

Peace...

Activated cards are already decided to go to the grave/rfg/etc. but they remain on the field until the chain fully resolves, I already posted up the ruling on CED-EOTE.

allright thanks guys
