Bug, miss code or lack of effect specification

[Karma]

I was playing the vampire deck, when i killed an effect monster with my vampire grimson, she resurects the monster to my field in the end phase. the effect monster had the effect of destroying 1 spell / trap card once per turn. next turn i was planing on using the monsters effect to destroy one of my opponents spell/ trap but i couldnt, there was no ''activate'' button to do it. I mean, if the card is on my field it is mine, so i should use its effects. Lava golem uses its effect in my field even tho its the opponents monster ... how about explaining this ? nothing says on my grimson that the resurected monster cant use its effects ......

What was the monster you rezzed with Grimson's effect?

Hi there, Official TCG Judge here:

What was the monster you ressurected?

first off, what monster did you take control of?

Lava Golem can only be summoned to an opponents board and his card text reads "This monster's controller (i.e You) takes 1000 damage during each of their Standby Phases" you are the controller of this monster so yes, unless you negate the effect, it WILL go off.

again please for the benefit of everybody, tell us which monster you took control of, or share replay if possible.

Again I am pretty sure he is referring to Vampire Grace considering he is using a Vampire deck

i was just getting to your comment and...no, OP is not on about Grace, their problem is as follows

Uses Grimson to destroy opponents monster, then uses Grimsons effect to take control of it during the end phase and that opponents monster has the effect of destroying one spell/trap on the field however apparently they could activate said effect from their side of the field.

besides Grace's effect is to select one type of card (spell, trap or monster) to send from your opponents deck to the grave as long as your opponent has the selected type of card to send to the grave. The card that then allows you to destroy a card is Vampire Kingdom which effect is once per turn when a card is sent from the opponents deck to the grave, target one card on the field, send one Dark "Vampire" from your hand or deck to the grave and if you do destroy that target

Then my only guess is he controlled some Spell Counter monster that uses 1 to destroy a spell/trap

If only he wasn't conveniently offline, its almost as if this was planned

I'd say wait for if he even bothers to respond. Chances are that it's just another case of not bothering to fully read card effects since that's the case with everyone else who comes here to claim that an effect is bugged

I say its more of a case of actually have screenshots or a replay

A case would be what the situation can be summed up as, not a separate problem that hinders the solution to the first one.

Then again, almost no one ever does have evidence when they report bugs here

Sooo i got really bored and started looking through the meta decks and what cards ppl use to get rid of backrow, here's what i found:

Dragon Spirit of White: effect should still go off but with 2.5k ATK Grimson would not be able to overcome it unless Vampire Kingdom is on the field which would be a suicide.
Snipe Hunter: Effect would be activatable but requires cards in your hand.
Breaker the Magical Warrior: Effect would in theory be activatable but requires a spell counter.
Koa'ki Meiru Wall/Sandman: Can only negate the activation of either a spell/trap.
Red Eyes Slash Dragon: Only negates targeting effects + 2.8k ATK.
Silent Magician: Negates once per turn upon activation.
Shi En: Negates once per turn upon activation + 2.5k ATK so suicide.
Vermillion Dragon Mech: Would be activatable requires a Tuner in the hand or graveyard though + 2.7k ATK.
Hyunlei: Only activates upon successful Synchro summon.
Metaphys Nephthys: Auto activates upon special summon utilizing a "Metaphys effect".
Regular Nephthys: Needs to be "reborn" from the grave utilizing it's own effect (Discord-chan correct me if i'm wrong on this one, couldn't find definitive explainations but based on the effect text i'd assume the special summon from the grave must be by it's own effect)
Ryko: Needs to be flipped face-up to activate it's effect.

There you have it if it was one of the meta decks you played against it was prob one of the cards listed here, either you had no way to overcome said monster unless you suicided (assuming you didn't play something to switch them into DEF or lower their ATK) or there are reasons as to why you wouldn't be able to use their effects like: not having enough cards in your hand, not having a spell counter etc.


Edit:
A couple more:
Wiz negates + requires a discard of a Fur hire card
Yaichi+Kamon require other Six Sams on your side of the field
Reactor Dragon destroys after a successful battle phase + 3k ATK

What monster in Duel Links lets you just flat out destroy a spell/trap once per turn though?

Only one I can think of off the top of my head is Evil Dragon Ananta
