Yes, although it didint state main phase 2, it is impossible to activate its effect in main phase 1 since no monster's have attacked by then
And to add, it is not quick effect, thus cannot be activated during battle phase either.

They could have changed it to activate after the battle phase/during the end phase, but apparently they prefer to flat out remove the effect instead.

Why would they errata a card just for 1 dumb speed duel interaction? That's 🔥ed

Still way less 🔥ed than Kaiju, anyway.

Also it's way less 🔥ed than keeping the effect in and be swamped with questions from players confused about why the effect cannot activate.

Lord Pancake

The effect is irrelevant, since there is no main phase 2 in duel links. But why do we get only 1 copy?

Apparently Konami thinks huge DEF "vanilla" is so OP, players has to be restricted to one copy each.

Hopefully, this card in Card Trader and Jesse (who has Ultimate Crystal Magic in his deck), is an indication that the card will be available to players soon.

When you unlock Jesse, he has one in his starting deck. You can also get one placed in your deck from his 'Meet my Family' skill

Thanks a lot, it helped

Why cant it's effect activate in battle phase after the attack?

<< Anonymous

Anonymous Reply

Because it's an Ignition effect, and those can only be used in your Main Phase. (Man, can you imagine if a card like Snipe Hunter or Abyss Soldier could be used in either player's turn?)

That hasn't stopped them. Turbo Booster, for example, has been altered in a way where its original ignition effect is activated "At the end of the Battle Phase:" They can do something similar to Emerald Tortoise, if they felt it was necessary. Time will tell.
