Obligatory Reporting Fail

Somewhere in here.

"With Necrovalley protected, the boost to his monsters is secured and the effects of his opponent’s Drill Warrior, Blackwing – Vayu the Emblem of Honor, Blackwing – Kalut the Moon Shadow, Rekindling, Call of the Haunted, and Necro Gardna are shut down."

It may seem pretentious of me, but mistakes like these are made at every event, and it's incredibly irritating. People, for the most part, are very impressionable, especially kids, and they wouldn't bat an eyelash to take this all as fact. Not only does this lead to TONS of misinformed people, but it leaves judges needing to correct them.

I should probably explain what's the matter here.

In the TCG, Necrovalley reads and functions as follows:

"Negate the effects of Spells, Traps and Effect Monsters that target a card(s) in either player's Graveyard. Cards in either player's Graveyard cannot be removed from play. All "Gravekeeper's" monsters gain 500 ATK and DEF."

As such, cards that do not target are not affected by it. This means that "Rekindling" and "Drill Warrior" are free to do what they want. In the OCG, these effects would be negated, as they take other cards in the graveyard and move them elsewhere, but in the TCG, we have to play by TCG rules.

"Blackwing - Kalut the Moonshadow" is unaffected by "Necrovalley" in both CGs, as it does not target anything in the graveyard or remove anything in the graves from play. It's possible this was a typo intended to be "Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North," who will be negated in both CGs.
