I can answer any questions about RULINGS only with the Yu-Gi-Oh English TCG. I get my information from the official source, so if you tell me something that contradicts the official rules, I will give you the exact ruling(or similar situation) with explanation. My advice to you is get the rulings on every single card in YOUR DECK before starting to duel!

A good site to look for rulings would be(updated as new boosters are released):

Rulings

Forbidden/Limited List (LAST UPDATED: September 1, 2009)

I CANNOT do deck fixes, as I pay attention to the rules more so that everyone plays it right. If you ask me for deck fixes, I will immediately sent it to the Question Pool(No, this is not rejecting your question).

NEWS: Konami reclaimed all operational and business aspects of Yu-Gi-Oh. Upperdeck Entertainment no longer has control in the United States.

Konami regains control of Yu-Gi-Oh. (PDF Document - Press Release)

UPDATE: Down to 3 questions per day. Hopefully, there will be no problems with my connection. Be clear and use punctuation. Nothing related to deck fixes/checks/ratings or card prices/trades/whereabouts.

NOTE: This should not happen, but I'll post it here anyway: Due to limited connectivity to the internet/personal problems, I am terribly sorry if it takes me more than 24 hours to answer your question. If you send "non-ruling"-related questions, do not expect a reply.

Experience in the area

I know the rulings.. and I only get them from the official source. Even then, some people will do anything to win(even if it goes against the rules), such as arguing who's right and wrong.

Education/Credentials

Graduated from high school and college.

What do you like about this subject?

It's more important to play it right before you worry about winning. Even then, 50% of the time, this quote applies: "You can't win without playing illegally at least once during the duel."

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

One word can change the whole meaning. This applies to rulings and erratas. I'm here to patch that up with the latest information.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Ratings don't mean squat. If you badly rate me and everyone else doesn't, you're the one being laughed at because your rating didn't factor in. As for deck ratings, I can give anybody an 10/10, while other people will give you a 3/10. There is no honest answer to ratings, and that's why I don't do 'em.

2009-09-27 Combo?:

1. It's because D.D. Scout Plane's effect is Continuous, so it can't really be negated by Dark Ruler Ha Des. 2. Tongue Twister won't activate when it's destroyed. The first thing that has to happen

2009-09-24 The card Double summon:

It's not Continuous. No matter how many copies of Double Summon you activate, you can only gain the effect once per turn. RULING: "You can activate multiple copies of this card in the same turn, but

2009-09-23 Exodia:

No, you'll have to discard two of the pieces, and the game goes on... RULING: "If you have three pieces of Exodia in your hand, "Graceful Charity", and no other cards, and then you activate "Graceful

2009-09-23 Combo?:

1. He is not a Spell that's activated, so no. 2. Caius' effect will still resolve. You can't chain a Continuous Trap and expect it to work right away. 3. Rephrase your question. 4. Since Stardust

2009-09-21 lava golem vs. dark necrofear:

Keep in mind that Gigantic Cephalotus says "sent from the field to the graveyard". This includes tributing, destroying, sending, etc... Dark Necrofear has restrictions by saying "If this card is destroyed
