Card Rulings:Honest

TCG Rulings

 * "Honest's" effect is a Quick 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.

Mentions in Other Rulings

 * Prohibition: If ... "Honest" ... is declared with "Prohibition", it can be discarded with "Card Destruction" but it cannot be discarded to activate its effect.

OCG Rulings

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


 * You can activate "Honest"'s effect at any time during or before Damage Calculation (but not after).
 * You can activate the effect in chain to "Injection Fairy Lily"'s effect.


 * "Honest" increases the monster's ATK by the ATK of the other monster at the time "Honest"'s effect resolves.


 * You can only have one chain during Damage Calculation. Thus, when "Injection Fairy Lily" uses her effect, you cannot activate "Honest"'s effect as a separate chain after "Injection Fairy Lily"'s effect resolves.


 * After a monster has had its ATK increased by "Honest", when it is targetted by "Shrink", the monster's ATK becomes half its Original ATK.


 * You can use the effect during your opponent's turn.
