As everyone else has said, the effect of "Cybernetic Magician" is a Spell Speed 1 Ignition Effect. Meaning this moron is cheating and needs to be punched in the face. Hard.
I see. I told him this today when he decided to play Cybernetic. :3 It was fun watching him squirm when he couldn't use it in the same way he has been.
I take it this rule also applies to Tribe Infecting? Some of the people in my circle of YGO players have decided to go back to Trad, so it'll be handy to know should I agree to duel them. (One guy, Nick, insisted he could use TIV's effect any time he wanted. >_>)
One more question. Dummy Golem. I know it's a Flip effect, but if it's destroyed when I attack it while it's Face Down, it doesn't get to activate its effect, right? Since the card says you swap it and one monster on your opponent's side of the field. But since it's destroyed and in the graveyard, it can't be swaped and thus cannot do the trade.
See, I dueled someone today that insisted that they get my card, even though Dummy was destroyed, they get my Ultimate Insect Lv. 7. I was not amused. I let him do it anyway, after much argueing, and then proceeded to throw down my Insect Barrier. XD
