Priority?

I have been playing for a while and no one has ever mentioned Priority to me... so I was playing, my opponent summoned an XYZ monster and I activated Torrential tribute... the XYZ monster had an effect that destroyed 2 cards on the field if a material was removed.... So he said that he had priority and could still activate the effect even though I had used Torrential to destroy his monster.... Does that mean all monsters can activate their effect before a trap card resolves or what?

Well that Depends what Exeed monster are you talking about i need to know that info

Priority: The right of the turn player to activate effects before the opponent. This is why Veiler is poor against Rabbit and Lonefire (they have Priority, so, the moment they are summoned, their effects can be activated before the opponent does anything). Not all monsters have Priority, but it is a pretty useful thing.

some not all so what happens is the monster uses its effect then is destroyed perfect example happend to me i was playing ninja i sommened ebisu he torrentiald i used priority to bounce his other set make sence if not just say.

who is this xyz monster? i never hear of that effect...

See Torrent Would not stop the effect of the card
When the card is "destroyed" it can remove a counter
The monster Is alive it Loses a Exeed partical
and gets to destroy a card

But on a side note this isnt pior this acculy happens when you tryed to destroy his monster

The XYZ monster was Windup Zenmaio... But... How would you be able to tell if a monster has priority or not? I always thought since the monster gets summoned... Torrential is Chain 2... which resolves first then the monster is destroyed... Does that mean the monster can still activate his effect even though he's no longer on the field? Or ... how exactly does that work?

When the monster is summoned, the controller has the option to activate the effect. After the controller chooses, the opponent may chain Torrential, Veiler, et cetera.

Oh ._.

Why is this game so confusing? just as I thought I had it down... it throws a curve ball at me...

And for you know, Torrential is Chain Link 2 because it is chained to the monster's effect, not by because it is response to the summon, a Summon never start a chain.

It's a timing thing.

Priority lets you activate trigger effects (like Zenmaio's) when you summon them, before your opponent can use something. Afterwards, the opponent gets to respond, which is when you'd chain Torrential to Zenmaio's effect. Zenmaio gets destroyed, then Zenmaio's targets are destroyed.

Note that in the OCG you don't get the option to activate your monster's effect on summon. It's a TCG rule right now.

Might as well ask since it's been brought... seen it been tossed around, but not sure... what's TCG and OCG? Differences?

TCG is the game in the West (America and Europe mostly), OCG is the game in the East (Asia).

There are some ruling differences such as priority and certain specific cards, like Rampart Blaster.

Also exclusive cards, like how Tour Guide and Tengu are here but not in Japan.

Someone is using OCG card, yet applies TCG ruling?

Blasphemy!

Happens all the time :/

Indeed.

Doesn't change that it is still blasphemous. D=

It's because BLS himself has stated DN is a TCG simulator, he just gives us access to the OCG cards too.

Anyway, stick to TCG land, it still has priority and BLS stated DN is a TCG simulator. Don't forget OCG doesn't have priority anymore.

Also remember that you can only respond to a summon(Solemn Warning, Solemn Judgment, Saber Hole, etc). After that, when the monster is successfully summoned you are able to respond with cards like Torrential Tribute, etc(you never actually chain to a Summon).

It really isn't :/
Who's to say you can't use OCG cards in a TCG setting? We're probably going to get them eventually anyway.

Ignition not trigger.
