Card Rulings:Geartown

TCG Rulings

 * "Geartown's" first effect does not start a Chain.


 * You can still choose to Tribute the usual number of monsters when Tribute Summoning an "Ancient Gear" monster.


 * When "Geartown" is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, only its owner can activate its effect.


 * If your "Geartown" is destroyed in your hand or Deck and sent to your Graveyard, you can activate its effect.


 * While "Geartown" is active, you can Tribute "Ancient Gear Castle" with 1 Counter to Tribute Summon "Ancient Gear Golem".


 * If "Geartown" is Special Summoned with "Magical Hats", you can activate its effect when it is destroyed.


 * If you activate "Geartown" and an effect is chained that destroys it, you cannot activate its effect when it is destroyed.


 * If your opponent activates a Field Spell Card and your "Geartown" is destroyed, you can activate its effect.


 * If you control "Geartown" and you activate a new Field Spell Card, you cannot activate "Geartown's" effect when it is destroyed because it misses the timing. However, if you Set a new Field Spell Card, you can activate "Geartown's" effect when it is destroyed.

OCG Rulings

 * If "Mystical Space Typhoon" is chained to "Geartown", "Mystical Space Typhoon" resolves first and destroys "Geartown" at Chain Link 2. Then, "Geartown" resolves without effect as Chain Link 1.  Since it still resolves, the destruction of "Geartown" is not the last thing to happen, so you miss the timing and cannot activate the effect of "Geartown".


 * If "Magic Jammer" is chained to "Geartown", "Magic Jammer" resolves first and negates and destroys "Geartown" as Chain Link 2. Chain Link 1 does not resolve since "Geartown"'s activation was negated.  The last thing to resolve is "Magic Jammer", so you can activate the effect of "Geartown" and Special Summon an "Ancient Gear" monster.


 * If "Geartown" is Special Summoned by "Magical Hats", "Geartown"'s effect will activate when it is destroyed while being treated as a monster. Its effect will activate if it is destroyed at the end of the Battle Phase by "Magical Hats", if it is destroyed by battle, etc.
