Card Rulings:The Legendary Fisherman

Other Rulings

 * [Re: A Legendary Ocean] When "A Legendary Ocean" is active, "The Legendary Fisherman" on the field is unaffected by Spell Cards, so it does not receive the ATK/DEF bonus or have its Level reduced by 1. It still is treated as Level 4 in your hand, so you may Summon it without Tribute.

[Re: Big Wave Small Wave] "The Legendary Fisherman" is not destroyed by the effect of "Big Wave Small Wave" if "Umi" is on the field, so he remains on the field.
 * [Re: Ancient Lamp] You can target a "Command Knight", "Guardian Kay'est" or "The Legendary Fisherman" with "Umi" on the field with "Ancient Lamp's" effect. You can target the opponent's "Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower" even if they control another face-up Zombie-Type monster.


 * [Re: Command Knight] If "Umi" is active and you have "The Legendary Fisherman" on the field, your opponent can attack directly. But if you have "Legendary Fisherman" and "Command Knight", and no other monsters, your opponent cannot attack directly because of "Command Knight", and cannot attack "Command Knight" because of his effect, and cannot attack "The Legendary Fisherman", so he cannot declare an attack (but can enter the Battle Phase to activate card effects).


 * [Re: Different Dimension Gate] When you select "Guardian Kay'est" or "The Legendary Fisherman" as a target of "Different Dimension" gate, only the other monster is removed and returns to the field when "Different Dimension Gate" is destroyed.


 * [Re: Dreamsprite] If you control "Dreamsprite", "The Legendary Fisherman", and "Umi" is on the field, "Dreamsprite"'s effect can still change an attack target to "The Legendary Fisherman" because he is not being targeted with an attack, but is being targeted with a monster effect.


 * [Re: Ekibyo Drakmord] If "Ekibyo Drakmord" is equipped to "The Legendary Fisherman" and then "Umi" is activated, "Ekibyo Drakmord" will remain meaninglessly equipped to "The Legendary Fisherman".


 * [Re: Guardian Kay'est] "Guardian Kay'est" is not affected by Spell Cards, just like "The Legendary Fisherman".


 * [Re: Maiden of the Aqua] If you have "Maiden of the Aqua" (with her effect active) and "The Legendary Fisherman" or "Deepsea Warrior" on your side of the field, and "Dark Hole" is activated, "The Legendary Fisherman" and "Deepsea Warrior" will not be destroyed.


 * [Re: Mystik Wok] Tributing a monster for "Mystik Wok" is a cost, so you can Tribute "The Legendary Fisherman" or "The Agent of Force - Mars".


 * [Re: Patrician of Darkness] The effect of "Patrician of Darkness" does not override the effects of "Marauding Captain", "The Legendary Fisherman", "Solar Flare Dragon", etc. You cannot choose an attack target prevented by the effects of these cards. Examples: You cannot choose "The Legendary Fisherman" as an attack target if "Umi" is on the field. You cannot choose another Warrior-Type monster as an attack target when you control "Marauding Captain".


 * [Re: Silent Swordsman LV5] Just like "The Legendary Fisherman" and other monsters that are unaffected by Spell Cards, "Silent Swordsman LV5" can attack normally if your opponent has "Swords of Revealing Light" on the field, and its controller is unaffected by effects like "Toll" and "Gravekeeper's Servant" when "Silent Swordsman LV5" attacks.

[Re: The Agent of Force - Mars] "The Agent of Force - Mars" is unaffected by Spell Cards just like "Guardian Kay'est" and "The Legendary Fisherman".
 * [Re: Staunch Defender] You cannot select "Guardian Kay'est" or "The Legendary Fisherman" for "Staunch Defender" if they cannot be attacked.
