Light of Destruction - Rulings

Manjyome Thunder — 2008-05-02T07:59:00Z

Honest
LODT-EN001 (Fairy/Effect)
[During your Main Phase, you can return this card from the field to it's owner's hand. During either player's Damage Step, when a face-up LIGHT monster you control battles, you can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard to have that monster gain ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling, until the End Phase.]

"Honest's" effect is a Multi-Trigger effect.

"Honest's" effect does not target the LIGHT monster.

Sending "Honest" to the Graveyard is a cost to activate its effect.

The ATK increase is equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster when "Honest's" effect resolves.

The ATK increases from the effects of multiple "Honest" are cumulative.

If you use "Honest's" effect to increase the attack of "Asura Priest" or "Cyber-Twin Dragon", the ATK increase does not change when you battle a different monster.

Cross Porter
LODT-EN002 (Warrior/Effect)
[You can send 1 monster you control to the Graveyard and Special Summon 1 "Neo-Spacian" monster from your hand. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can add 1 "Neo-Spacian" monster from your Deck to your hand.]

Cross Porter targets 1 monster you control. Send it to the Graveyard when resolving "Cross Porter's" effect.

If you send "Cross Porter" to the Graveyard to activate its first effect, you cannot activate its second effect.

Miracle Flipper
LODT-EN003 (Spellcaster/Effect)
[If you control a "Miracle Flipper", you cannot Summon this card. Your opponent cannot select another face-up monster as an attack target. If this card is destroyed by battle, Special Summon it to your opponent's side of the field at the end of the Battle Phase. If this card is destroyed by the effect of a Spell or Trap Card, destroy 1 monster your opponent controls.]

If "Miracle Flipper" is destroyed by a Spell or Trap Card while face-down, its effect to destroy 1 monster activates. This effect targets the monster to be destroyed.

If you have a "Miracle Flipper" face-up on your side of the field, you cannot Special Summon another copy of "Miracle Flipper" with "Monster Reborn" or "The Shallow Grave".

If "Miracle Flipper" is removed from play when it is destroyed in battle, its effect will still activate and it will be Special Summoned onto the opponent's side of the field.

Destiny Hero - Dread Servant
LODT-EN004 (Warrior/Effect)
[When this card is Normal Summoned, place 1 Clock Counter on "Clock Tower Prison." When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card you control.]

"Destiny Hero - Dread Servant's" second effect targets 1 Spell or Trap Card you control.

Volcanic Queen
LODT-EN005 (Pyro/Effect)
[This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand to your opponents side of the field by Tributing 1 monster your opponent controls. If you Special Summon this card, you cannot Normal Summon or Set this turn. Once per turn, you can send 1 other card you control to the Graveyard to inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. During your End Phase, either Tribute 1 other monster or take 1000 damage.]

"Volcanic Queen's" effect starts a Chain during your End Phase. You choose to Tribute 1 other monster or take 1000 damage when the effect resolves.

If "Volcanic Queen's" effect activates during the End Phase and "Remove Brainwashing" is chained, the player that controlled "Volcanic Queen" when its effect activated will Tribute 1 monster or take 1000 damage.

Jinzo - Returner
LODT-EN006 (Machine/Effect)
[This card can attack your opponent directly. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 "Jinzo" from your Graveyard. Destroy it during your End Phase.]

If the Special Summoned "Jinzo" is flipped face-down, it is not destroyed in the End Phase. Even if the "Jinzo" is flipped face-up afterwards, it is not destroyed in the End Phase.

If you send "Jinzo" and "Jinzo - Returner" to the Graveyard at the same time, with "Future Fusion," etc., you can activate the effect of "Jinzo Returner." If you send multiple copies "Jinzo" and "Jinzo Returner," the effect of each copy of "Jinzo - Returner" can be activated and will create a Chain (see the rulings for Simultaneous Effects in the FAQ).

Destroying "Jinzo" in the End Phase does not start a Chain.

Arcana Force I - The Magician
LODT-EN009 (Fairy/Effect)

[When this card is Summoned, toss a coin: ●Heads: When a Spell Card is activated, this card's ATK becomes double its original ATK until the End Phase of that turn. ●Tails: When a Spell Card is activated, your opponent gains 500 Life Points.]

The heads/tails effects of "Arcana Force I - The Magician" are Continuous Effects and are applied immediately after the Spell Card resolves.

The heads effect of "Arcana Force I - The Magician" does not change its original ATK. It creates a new current ATK equal to twice its original ATK. Any other increases or decreases of ATK are reapplied to this new ATK value.

If "Arcana Force I - The Magician" is affected by a Spell Card that changes its ATK, like Shrink or Rush Recklessly, first the Spell Cards effect is applied, then Arcana Force I The Magicians effect is applied, changing its current ATK to twice its original ATK, or 2200.

Arcana Force VII - The Chariot
LODT-EN013 (Fairy/Effect)
[When this card is Summoned, toss a coin: ●Heads: If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can Special Summon that monster to your side of the field. ●Tails: Your opponent gains control of this card.]

"Arcana Force VII - The Chariot's" heads effect activates at the end of the Damage Step, when the monster it destroys in battle is sent to the Graveyard or Removed Zone.

If "Reversal of Fate" changes "Arcana Force VII - The Chariot's" effect from heads to tails, control of "Arcana Force VII - The Chariot" immediately shifts to the opponent. If its effect is changed to heads again after control is shifted to the opponent, it remains under the opponent's control.

If your "Arcana Force VII - The Chariot" destroys a "Crystal Beast" monster by battle and the "Crystal Beast" monster is placed into the Spell and Trap Card Zone, you cannot Special Summon that "Crystal Beast" monster.

Arcana Force XIV - The Temperance
LODT-EN014 (Fairy/Effect)
[During either player's turn, you can discard this card to reduce the damage you take from a battle to 0. When this card is Summoned, toss a coin: ●Heads: Halve all Battle Damage you take. ●Tails: Halve all Battle Damage your opponent takes.]

Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon
LODT-EN015 (Fairy/Effect)
[When this card is Summoned, toss a coin: ●Heads: During your Standby Phase, you can Special Summon 1 "Moon Token" (Fairy-Type/LIGHT/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0). ●Tails: During each of your End Phases, select 1 monster you control and give control of it to your opponent.]

"Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon's" tails effect targets 1 monster you control.

Monsters given to your opponent with "Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon's" tails effect will remain on your opponent's side of the field when "Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon" is removed from the field or flipped face-down.

You cannot activate "Arcana Force XXI - The World's" effect while "Macro Cosmos," etc. is active.

Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler
LODT-EN017 (Fairy/Effect)
[This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by sending 3 monsters you control to the Graveyard. When this card is Special Summoned, toss a coin: ●Heads: This card can attack twice during the same Battle Phase. If this card battles twice using this effect, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase. This card's battle position cannot be changed until the end of your next turn, except with a card effect. ●Tails: If this card is destroyed, destroy all cards on the field.]

"Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler's" tails effect does not start a Chain. If "Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler" is destroyed by battle, all other cards on the field are destroyed when "Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler" is sent to the Graveyard.

If your "Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler" is equipped with "Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce" while its heads effect is applied, you will choose which effect to use when you attack twice. If you choose "Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler's" heads effect, it will be changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase.

Jain, Lightsworn Paladin
LODT-EN018 (Warrior/Effect)
[If this card attacks an opponent's monster, it gains 300 ATK during the Damage Step only. During each of your End Phases, send the top 2 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard.]

If you do not have enough cards to send to the Graveyard remaining in your Deck when resolving the effect of a Lightsworn monster or Judgment Dragon, all cards remaining in your Deck are sent to the Graveyard. For example, if you control Jain, Lightsworn Paladin and its effect activates during your End Phase when you have only 1 card remaining in your Deck, that card will be sent to the Graveyard.

If the effect of a Lightsworn monster to send cards from the top of your Deck to your Graveyard during the End Phase is negated by the effect of "Light and Darkness Dragon," that Lightsworn monsters effect activates again in the same End Phase.

If an effect chained to a Lightsworn monsters (or Judgment Dragons) effect to send cards from your Deck to the Graveyard during the End Phase that removes that Lightsworn monster from the field, the Lightsworn monsters effect does not resolve.

While "Dark Valkyria" is an Effect Monster, you can place Spell Counters onto it with other card effects, like "Pitch-Black Power Stone" and "Apprentice Magician."

If "Dark Valkyria" is treated as an Effect Monster due to the effect of Superalloy Beast Raptinus and has a Spell Counter when "Superalloy Beast Raptinus" is removed from the field, the Spell Counter is removed because "Dark Valkyria" is changed to a Normal Monster.

[FLIP: Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Batteryman" monster from your Deck, except "Batteryman Micro-Cell". After this card has been flipped face-up, when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, draw 1 card.]

The damage inflicted with "Destiny End Dragoon's" effect is equal to the current ATK of the destroyed monster on the field. If you destroy a face-down monster, 0 damage is inflicted.

Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem
LODT-EN043 (Machine/Fusion/Effect)
["Ancient Gear Golem" + 2 "Ancient Gear" monsters
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. If this card is destroyed, you can Special Summon 1 "Ancient Gear Golem" from your Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning conditions.]

If "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" is destroyed in battle, its effect activates when it is sent to the Graveyard at the end of the Damage Step. Its effect activates even if it is removed from play when destroyed.

If your opponent controls your "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" when it is destroyed, you will activate its effect.

If this card is destroyed during a resolving chain, you can activate its effect after the chain has resolved.

Gladiator Beast Gyzarus
LODT-EN044 (Winged Beast/Fusion/Effect)
["Gladiator Beast Bestiari" + 1 "Gladiator Beast" monster
This card can only be Special Summoned from your Fusion Deck by returning the above cards you control to the Deck. (You do not use "Polymerization".) When this card is Special Summoned, you can destroy up to 2 cards on the field. At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card attacked or was attacked, you can return this card to the Fusion Deck to Special Summon 2 "Gladiator Beast" monsters from your Deck, except "Gladiator Beast Bestiari".]

"Gladiator Beast Gyzarus" targets up to 2 cards to destroy.

Hero Mask
LODT-EN045 (Normal Spell Card)
[Select 1 face-up monster you control. Send 1 "Elemental Hero" monster from your Deck to your Graveyard and treat the selected monster's name as its name until the End Phase.]

Send 1 "Elemental Hero" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard when you resolve "Hero Mask".

"Hero Mask" targets 1 face-up monster you control.

If you select a Monster Token and send "Elemental Hero Neos" to your Graveyard, you cannot return the selected Monster Token to your Deck to Special Summon a "Neos" Fusion Monster.

If you select "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" and change its name with "Hero Mask's" effect, and afterwards you Summon another "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai", when "Hero Mask's" effect disappears in the End Phase the Summoned "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai" is destroyed because you cannot control more than 1 face-up "Grandmaster of the Six Samurai".

If you select a "Harpie Lady 1" with "Hero Mask" and send "Elemental Hero Neos" to your Graveyard, the "Harpie Lady 1's" name will be treated as "Elemental Hero Neos" and it can be returned to the Deck to Special Summon a "Neos" Fusion Monster.

If you select an "Elemental Hero Neos Alius" that is being treated as a Normal Monster Card and change its name to "Elemental Hero Necroshade" with "Hero Mask", if you Normal Summon the "Elemental Hero Neos Alius", so it becomes an Effect Monster, its name will be treated as "Elemental Hero Neos".

Space Gift
LODT-EN046 (Normal Spell Card)
[Draw 1 card for each "Neo-Spacian" monster you control with a different name.]

Count the number of "Neo-Spacian" monsters you control with different names when "Space Gift" resolves.

If you control a "Neo-Spacian Marine Dolphin" when "Space Gift" resolves, you will draw 2 cards for it because its name is also treated as "Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin".

Demise of the Land
LODT-EN047 (Quick-Play Spell Card)
[Activate only when your opponent Special Summons a monster. Select 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck and activate it.]

The activated Field Spell Card does not start a Chain.

D - Formation
LODT-EN048 (Continuous Spell Card)
[When a face-up "Destiny Hero" monster(s) you control is destroyed, place 1 D Counter on this card for each of those monsters. When you Normal or Special Summon a monster during your Main Phase, you can send this card with 2 or more D Counters to the Graveyard to add up to 2 cards with the same name as that monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.]

Placing 1 D Counter onto "D - Formation" does not start a Chain.

The second effect of "D - Formation" starts a Chain. It does not target.

You cannot activate "D-Formation's" second effect when you Special Summon a monster face-down.

If an effect is chained that flips the Normal or Special Summoned monster face-down, "D-Formation's" effect disappears.

If you have 2 or more "D-Formations" with 2 D Counters when you Normal or Special Summon a monster, you can activate the second effect of each "D-Formation".

If a cards effect Special Summons multiple monsters during your Main Phase, you can activate the second effect of "D-Formation". In this case you will select which monster you will apply towards the effect when "D-Formation's" effect resolves.

Spell Gear
LODT-EN049 (Normal Spell Card)
[Send 3 "Ancient Gear" cards you control to the Graveyard. You can Special Summon up to 1 "Ancient Gear Golem" from your hand and 1 from your Deck, ignoring the Summoning conditions. Then, destroy all monsters you control except "Ancient Gear Golems". You cannot Normal Summon or Set until the end of your next turn.]

"'Ancient Gear' cards" means any card you control that has "Ancient Gear" in its card name.

You cannot activate "Spell Gear" if you do not have any "Ancient Gear Golem" remaining in your Deck.

If an effect is chained that prevents you from Special Summoning "Ancient Gear Golem", you still cannot Normal Summon or Set until the end of your next turn.

The effect that prohibits Normal Summons or Sets until the end of your next turn is not a restriction on this cards activation. So you can activate this card if you Normal Summoned earlier in the turn. But you cannot Normal Summon or Set after it is activated.

Cup of Ace
LODT-EN050 (Normal Spell Card)
[Toss a coin: ●Heads: draw 2 cards. ●Tails: your opponent draws 2 cards.]

You cannot activate "Cup of Ace" if you or your opponent has 1 or fewer cards remaining in the Deck.

Light Barrier
LODT-EN051 (Field Spell Card)
[During your Standby Phase, toss a coin. If the result is Tails, the following effects are negated until your next Standby Phase: ●When you Summon an "Arcana Force" monster, choose which effect to apply without tossing a coin. If an "Arcana Force" monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you gain Life Points equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK.]

"Light Barrier's" effect to flip a coin during the Standby Phase starts a Chain.

The effect of the Summoned "Arcana Force" monster still starts a Chain, but you do not toss the coin. When the effect resolves you will select if the heads or tails effect is applied.

If an "Arcana Force" monster's effect is chosen in this way, it cannot be selected with "Reversal of Fate" or "Arcana Call".

"Light Barrier's" effect to gain Life Points starts a Chain when the opponent's monster is sent to the Graveyard or Removed Zone at the end of the Damage Step.

If your "Arcana Force" monster is also destroyed in the battle, "Light Barrier's" effect still activates.

Only the controller of "Light Barrier" activates its effects.

Solar Recharge
LODT-EN052 (Normal Spell Card)
[Discard 1 "Lightsworn" monster. Draw 2 cards then send the top 2 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard.]

You cannot activate "Solar Recharge" if you have 3 or fewer cards remaining in your Deck.

Realm of Light
LODT-EN053 (Field Spell Card)
[Each time a card(s) is sent from your Deck to the Graveyard, place 1 Shine Counter on this card. All "Lightsworn" monsters gain 100 ATK for each Shine Counter. If this card would be destroyed by a card effect, remove 2 Shine Counters instead.]

Adding or removing Shine Counters does not start a Chain.

You cannot remove Shine Counters when your opponent activates a Field Spell Card, because "Realm of Light" is not being destroyed by a card effect.

Quick Charger
LODT-EN055 (Quick-Play Spell Card)
[Add 2 Level 4 or lower "Batteryman" monsters from your Graveyard to your hand.]

If an effect is chained that removes 1 of the 2 targeted "Batteryman" monsters from your Graveyard, the remaining "Batteryman" monster is added to your hand.

Short Circuit
LODT-EN056 (Normal Spell Card)
[Activate only if you control 3 or more "Batteryman" monsters. Destroy all cards your opponent controls.]

If an effect is chained that removes 1 or more of the "Batteryman" monsters from your side of the field, "Short Circuit's" effect still resolves.

Light of Redemption
LODT-EN057 (Normal Spell Card)
[Pay 800 Life Points. Add 1 of your removed from play LIGHT monsters to your hand.]

If a LIGHT monster is removed from play face-down by "Different Dimension Capsule", etc., it cannot be selected with "Light of Redemption".

If your opponent removes your LIGHT monster from play with "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", you can select it with "Light of Redemption".

Mystical Cards of Light
LODT-EN058 (Continuous Spell Card)
[You cannot use 1 of your Spell & Trap Card Zones. During your Draw Phase, if you control another "Mystical Cards of Light", you can draw 2 cards instead of 1 for your normal draw.]

You select which Spell & Trap Card Zone to make unusable when you activate "Mystical Cards of Light".

You cannot activate "Mystical Cards of Light" if you do not have a Spell & Trap Card Zone to make unusable.

Drawing 2 cards with "Mystical Cards of Light" does not start a Chain.

You can choose to draw only 1 card.

You cannot choose to draw 2 cards if you have 1 card remaining in your Deck.

If "Mystical Cards of Light's" effect is negated, you can activate or Set Spell and Trap Cards into the unusable Spell & Trap Card Zone. If the effect of "Mystical Cards of Light" is reapplied while a Spell or Trap Card is in the unusable Spell & Trap Card Zone, the Spell & Trap Card Zone become unusable when the Spell or Trap Card is removed from the field.

Level Tuning
LODT-EN059 (Normal Spell Card)
[Reduce the Level of all face-up monsters you control by 1, until the End Phase.]

Only face-up monsters you control when resolving "Level Tuning" are affected. Monsters Summoned afterwards will not have their Level reduced.

Deck Lockdown
LODT-EN060 (Continuous Spell Card)
[Neither player can add cards to their hand except by drawing them, and cannot Special Summon monsters from the Deck. Destroy this card during your 2nd Standby Phase after activation.]

Destroying "Deck Lockdown" during the Standby Phase does not start a Chain.

Monsters can be Special Summoned from the Fusion Deck while Deck Lockdown is active.

"Reinforcement of the Army", the effect of "Green Gadget", etc. cannot be activated while "Deck Lockdown" is active.

If "Sangan" is sent from the field to the Graveyard while "Deck Lockdown" is active, its effect will start a Chain but its effect will disappear when it resolves.

"Crystal Seer's" effect can activate while "Deck Lockdown" is active, but the card you would add to your hand is sent to the Graveyard instead.

Ribbon of Rebirth
LODT-EN061 (Equip Spell Card)
[If the equipped monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon it to your side of the field during the End Phase.]

If you equip your opponent's monster with "Ribbon of Rebirth" and destroy the monster in battle, you will Special Summon it onto your side of the field during the End Phase.

If "Ribbon of Rebirth" is not in the Graveyard or Removed Zone during the End Phase, its effect does not activate.

"Ribbon of Rebirth" does not target the monster it will Special Summon.

If the monster that was equipped with "Ribbon of Rebirth" is removed from play, it will not be Special Summoned. Even if the monster is returned to the Graveyard during the same turn, it will not be Special Summoned.

If you do not have any open Monster Card Zones during the End Phase, the effect of your "Ribbon of Rebirth" still activates but its effect disappears when it resolves.

Golden Bamboo Sword
LODT-EN062 (Normal Spell Card)
[Activate only if you control a "Bamboo Sword" Equip Spell Card. Draw 2 cards.]

If every "Bamboo Sword" Equip Card you control is removed from field after you activate "Golden Bamboo Sword", you will still draw 2 cards.

Limit Reverse
LODT-EN063 (Continuous Trap Card)
[Select 1 monster with 1000 or less ATK from your Graveyard, and Special Summon it in Attack Position. If that monster is changed to Defense Position, destroy it and this card. When this card is removed from the field, destroy that monster. When that monster is destroyed, destroy this card.]

Hero Blast
LODT-EN064 (Normal Trap Card)
[Select 1 "Elemental Hero" Normal Monster from your Graveyard and add it to your hand. Then, destroy 1 face-up monster your opponent controls with ATK equal to or less than the selected monster's ATK.]

"Hero Blast" targets 1 "Elemental Hero" Normal Monster in your Graveyard.

You can activate "Hero Blast" when you opponent doesn't have any face-up monsters.

If the selected "Elemental Hero" Normal Monster is not returned to your hand, you cannot destroy 1 of your opponent's cards.

Rainbow Gravity
LODT-EN065 (Normal Trap Card)
[Activate only if you have 7 "Crystal Beast" cards with different names on the field or in your Graveyard. Special Summon 1 "Rainbow Dragon" or "Rainbow Dark Dragon" from your Deck or Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning conditions.]

A "Rainbow Dragon" or "Rainbow Dark Dragon" in the Graveyard that was not first properly Special Summoned cannot be Special Summoned with "Rainbow Gravity".

Reversal of Fate
LODT-EN067 (Normal Trap Card)
[Select 1 "Arcana Force" monster you control. That monster's effect is now treated as the opposite coin toss result.]

The effect of the "Arcana Force" monster remains changed as long as it remains face-up on the field.

Arcana Call
LODT-EN069 (Normal Trap Card)
[Select 1 "Arcana Force" monster you control. Remove from play 1 "Arcana Force" monster from either player's Graveyard. Until the End Phase, the selected monster's effect becomes the removed monster's effect for the same coin toss result.]

"Arcana Call" targets 1 "Arcana Force" monster you control and 1 "Arcana Force" monster in the Graveyard.

If an effect is chained that removes the "Arcana Force" monster from the Graveyard, the effect of "Arcana Call" disappears.

Sending the top 2 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard starts a Chain.

Destruction Jammer
LODT-EN072 (Counter Trap Card)
[Discard 1 card. Negate the activation of a Spell Card, Trap Card, or Effect Monster's effect that destroys a monster(s) on the field, and destroy that card.]

"Destruction Jammer" cannot be chained to the activation of the Ignition-like effect of a Continuous Spell or Trap Card (like "Skull Lair", etc.).
