Monster Effects Not Working

[☠〘Maverick〙☠]

Anyone else having this issue? I've had multiple issues ranging from Pendulum monster effects and even fusion monsters not working. It's basically hit or miss if my deck is going to work properly or not in each duel. I am a seasoned player and know how to utilize cards properly, so I know it isn't a matter of me not understanding my deck/cards.

probably you're doing something wrong

We need replays and card names

I know I'm doing the combos correctly because as I stated before they work in some duels, but not others. I made sure to learn the deck and how to play it properly. Even if the combo is done the exact same way & there are no negates or card effects to stop the effects of my cards it still happens. If you want a couple examples, Starving Venom and Wisdom-Eye Magician are a couple that haven't been working right. The effect to destroy itself and replace with another magician card hasn't been working. The button appears on screen but does nothing when pressed. Starving Venom will copy a card effect (Lyrilusc Nightingale, for example) but then won't use the copied effect when pressed. I'm 99% sure it's a bug/glitch in the game. I was just wondering if it's isolated to me for some strange reason or another because I've seen no recent discussion about it. Yes, I'm using the Venom OTK deck with Pendulums. Don't judge me, I need gems. lol

Show us a replay of the issue in play please.

It really sounds like you used Beyond the Pendulum's effect to search in the middle of the combo and locked yourself out of monster and pend effects.
I've played Pend FTK before and I didn't notice any bugs or anything.

less talk and more replay

No, I'm not using Beyond the Pendulum as I personally have no need for it (yet.) I'll try to get a replay of it happening posted. The Wisdom Eye not triggering is fairly new. It's mostly the Venoms. To be more specific, I get all the cards out that I need for the OTK, I am able to trigger 1 Venom, but not the 2nd. It will copy the effect just fine, but then not use it. The button will "activate" but then nothing happens, which is what is leading me to believe it's a software glitch. I've even tried doing it different ways such as copying with both & using both, copying 1 & using it then copying with the other & using it but, nothing is producing consistent results. It works MOST of the time but, is becoming more prevalent. The Wisdom Eye, I can push the effect button but then it just does nothing. I push it over & over & over, yet nothing.

No, I did because the link broke for some reason not long after posting it. I checked it to make sure it would work for you guys and the link said the video suddenly couldn't be found. Sorry about that. I'm going to think of another way.

You can post your Master Duel ID and make the replay public ingame if you want to.

Just put 2 up. 1 of each issue. I've tried triggering the cards in every different combination possible and the problem is getting more & more persistent.

On your duel with knuxx you had both issues: First you couldn't destroy your scales with Electrumite, then you couldn't burn your opponent.
The first issue is caused by Pendulum Call, which stops both players from destroying pend scales (this is also definitely the reason you couldn't use Wisdom-Eye in other games).
The second issue is caused by Chicken Game's continuous effect that stops the player with lower LP from taking any damage at all.

Omg, as soon as I read this it all made sense. Wow. I just added Chicken Game before I started noticing the inconsistency. I definitely forgot about Chicken Game's continuous, so that's 100% on me. Pend Call was just added today, I suppose I should go back and read it again since I definitely missed that in the card description. Here I was so sure about everything else that I completely forgot to account for those cards. It's certainly humbling to think I was making such rookie mistakes the whole time. I'll work around them or switch them out all together.

Edit: Went back and read Pend Call, it's plain as day. Guess I need to slow down when I read the card effects. I'm beside myself at the obvious stupidity of my inquiry now.

Thank you all for your input.
