You can only use this effect once per turn,during your main phase

the problem i have is that when i was in a tourney in my town this guy used this cards effect to send 2 water monsters in his hand to the graveyard to send to cards on the field back to the owners hand i can understand send 1 which is stated on the card but 2 it doesnt say on the card not even does it say send up to 2 cards so how can my oppponent discard 2 water monster and return 2 cards on the field back to the owners hand when it states that discard 1 water to return 1 water monster and also the card states that you can only use the effect once per turn and wouldnt discard 2 cards be useing his effect 2wice sooooo please help cus im pissed i lost out on 30 bucks and a gold card

Answer 1

yeah he straight up cheating and he know he did he should be ashame of hisself yooh can only discard one card

it even make sure on the card yooh only discard one card otherwise it would let yooh activate the effect more than once its like he activate the effect two times then so he cheated yooh really one

Answer 2

ok man it says discard 1water monster card to send 1 card on the field to the owners hand.

he can target him self then he could use his normal summon to put him back on the field ( then it's 1 turn effect went away ) = new monster then he can use effect again

but no

only once per turn

Answer 3

You should be pissed. You are totally right. To use Abyss Soldier's effect you must discard ONE card to the graveyard, not 2 or any other number. Also, even if they discarded one at a time they couldn't because it clearly states you can only activate the effect ONCE per turn.

Hope this helps!
