Thousand-Eyes Restrict, am i missing something?

[Falgeird]

So during duelist kingdom event i play against Pegasus AI and he manage to fusion summon Thousand-Eyes Restrict, i am using dinomist and Lv2 tuner graydle deck and here's thing, I can't active Spinos effect of tributing other dinomist monsters nor synchro summon using pendulum monster. There's souldn't be anything that prevent me to do that.

Thousand-Eyes Restrict:
"Relinquished" + "Thousand-Eyes Idol"
Other monsters on the field cannot change their battle positions or attack. Once per turn: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; equip that target to this card (max. 1). This card's ATK/DEF become equal to that equipped monster's. If this card would be destroyed by battle, destroy that equipped monster instead.

Here is what the board look like (sadly i don't have a replay):
my field: Dinomist charge, pendulum scale 3+6, Lv5 dinomist pendulum monster, graydle slime jr.
my opponent: Thousand-Eyes Restrict+my stolen monster and 1 normal monster.

Here is what happened:

1. I synchro summon crystron quariongandrax.
   
2. Pegasus fusion summon Thousand-Eyes Restrict and steal my crystron.
   
3. I have Spinos and Rex on my field and want active spinos effect to tribute rex but there is no option to do that (this is what confuse me, is it because something with pendulum monster go to extra deck instead of graveyard?).
   
4. Pegasus destroy 1 of my monster.
   
5. I normal summon graydle slime jr. (and no, i didn't special summon slime from GY) and plan to nuke the field with blackrose but i can't even synchro. The end board is above.

Can anyone shed a light on this? Is this bug/glitch or it's supposed to work like that?

I don't believe its a bug/glitch. I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to pendulum monster. I do know for AI they can have cards where a player may not to be use against them. The card Pegasus use works like that and it has a powerful effect attach to it. It sounds like it caught you by surprise when it happen. I've played against players who use the same type of cards you do to be confuse when I bypass their effects with my cards to destroy them by card effects even though their cards are protected.

I also played against the same cards but switch my deck up to steal their monsters with that eye monster before fusion into the upper form. I've met the requirements and nothing stop me to steal on the board. What I've found out there was an option to steal but no effect of doing so which puzzle me as it sat there. My opponent running the standard pendulum deck I've face many times before with my deck. Also the skill for pendulum monster a player can have to bring out the red dragon looking thing.

It could be a overlapping or how the sequence went that had an effect. =/

Spinos and Rex were in your spell/trap zone or in your monster zone?

[DUBINA]

maybe because you cannot attack then you cant use an effect that allows an attack other than a normal attack. either way its just speculations without a replay.

I will review information provided and report back.
Edit: btw thank you for actually providing a field layout and steps, it's so annoying trying to answer when it's just "y effect no work?"

[Soda]

Ok, you cannot use either of Rex's effects as you cannot attack with it under TER.

As for the inability to synchro summon, the only possible answer I can give is if you used the effect of Graydle Slime Jr. Since you stated you did not, I cannot give a definitive answer without a replay.

Also, what did Pegasus use to destroy one of your monsters?

Why is that? shouldn't you be allowed to active its effect but can't attack in battle phase due to TER's effect? Is it because Spinos says "this card can attack..." and bypass TER's effect?

Well since no other monsters can attack, it was destroy by battle with TER.

I can at the very least say that TER wont let you attack regardless of what effects you activate. Gotta negate or remove it in order to attack again.

In my limited-knowledge, I wouldve at least assumed that even if you could use Spinos's tribute effects ... you'd still be unable to declare an attack.

[Falgeird]

Yeah i know i cannot attack unless i negate/remove/flip TER or summon dinomist using dinomist rush (unaffected by other cards' effect), what confuse me is why i can't use spinos' tribute effect, since you are not required to attack after activating its effect.

Because you cannot activate what you cannot resolve. TER makes it so no other monster can attack while it's in the field; therefore, you cannot give your monster the ability to attack directly.

It's the same reason you can't activate things that "this monster can attack twice during each battle phase." on turn 1 since there is no battle phase.

[Falgeird]

Alright, I understand now. I just did a quick test with "other monsters you control cannot attack" effect and yes I can't active Spinos' tribute effects.

Thanks everyone!
