Card specific rulings

Yes.

Wow... that ruling would have been really helpful earlier.
And a few more other questions this answer brings up then:
Does heavy storm destroy monsters in the s/t zone? Does dark hole destroy traps/spells in monster zone? and Does mst destroy monsters in the s/t zone?

"Send the top x cards of your Deck to the Graveyard. You must control this face-up card to activate and to resolve this effect." When cards with this are xyz, do their effects resolve? Because I always here about lightsworn and using xyz... but i don't understand why.

As in used as a material? If so, no. Lightsworns do this to stop milling when they don't need too.

im pretty sure that each trap monster says treat this card as an effect monster, and the card still remains a spell & trap and crystal beasts cant be so yes to everything dark holed just if u were wondering xD, but they can be msted

Yes, thanks I meant material.

Can I special summon monsters from the grave (ones that say cannot be special summed except by...) which have been special summoned properly first?

These should answer your question and any possible questions related to that.

Ok, thanks those answered it.

if wind up zenmaines is destroyed the turn it activates is effect. Does he still get to destroy a card at the end phase?

If he's not on the field, he can't activate his effect.

Hmmm that is what I thought.

If a card uses its effect (that says once per turn), I send that card to the graveyard, and revive it; can it use its effect again?

Depends how it's worded

"Once per turn:..."

It would reset, but

"The effect of (This card) can only be used once per turn"

or

"You can only gain this effect once per turn"

It doesn't reset

I am referring to just "once per turn..."

Thanks for giving other wordings as well. It would be helpful if you could link this ruling from pojo or somewhere. Because I have had this issue a lot, and have been unable (myself) to find a source.

Don't use Pojo, Pojo is bad.

It is? I always thought it was the most reliable source... Do you have better source?

Anything but Pojo.

That's not going to help me when I have to google a ruling quickly

If an xyz is summoned using sangan, but is negated, does sagan resolve?

No.

I summon Stardust Dragon and my opponent uses Torrential Tribute. I activate Stardust's effect in response and my opponent chains Effect Veiler on Stardust. What happens?

Stardust is negated, errbody dies.

Does he come back though?

No.
