Card Rulings:Advanced Dark

OCG Rulings

 * The effect that treats all "Crystal Beast" monsters on the field and in both Graveyards as DARK monsters does not start a chain.


 * The effect that negates the effects of a monster attacked by "Rainbow Dragon" or "Rainbow Dark Dragon" doesn't start a chain.


 * The effect that reduces the Battle Damage to 0 starts a chain. Furthermore, sending 1 "Crystal Beast" monster from the Deck to the Graveyard is a cost.


 * The effect of "Advanced Dark" that reduces Battle Damage to 0 can only be activated by the player who controls "Advanced Dark". Furthermore, the effect that negates the effects of a monster attacked by "Rainbow Dragon" or "Rainbow Dark Dragon" is also applied when a "Rainbow Dragon" or "Rainbow Dark Dragon" that the opponent controls attacks.


 * If a "Phantom of Chaos" or "Neo-Spacian Dark Panther" that has gained the name of "Rainbow Dragon" or "Rainbow Dark Dragon" attacks, the effect of "Advanced Dark" that negates the effects of the attacked monster is also applied.


 * "Chaos Sorcerer" can be Special Summoned from the hand by banishing 1 "Crystal Beast" monster that is being treated as a DARK monster and 1 LIGHT monster from the Graveyard. Also, even if a "Crystal Beast" monster whose original Attribute is LIGHT is treated as a DARK monster by the effect of "Advanced Dark", "Chaos Sorcerer" can be Special Summoned from the hand by banishing 1 LIGHT monster from the Graveyard and the 1 "Crystal Beast" monster that is treated as a DARK monster.


 * The effect of "Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus" that places itself on the Spell & Trap Card Zone as a face-up Continuous Spell Card doesn't start a chain, so it does not activate. Therefore, even if "Advanced Dark" is treating "Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus" as a DARK monster and "Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror" is active, the effect of "Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus" is not negated and it can be placed in the Spell & Trap Card Zone.
