Card Rulings:Shield & Sword


 * This card only switches the original ATK and DEF. All modifiers are then applied (or re-applied, as appropriate) to the new ATK and DEF.

Mentions in Other Rulings

 * Amazoness Spellcaster: With "Shield & Sword", since these are both Normal Spell Cards, you resolve them in the order of their activation, and recalculate their ATKs in that order.


 * Chaos Necromancer: If "Shield & Sword" is activated, it reverses the original ATK & DEF of "Chaos Necromancer", which are both zero, then "Chaos Necromancer's" effect is applied and his ATK will be 300 x the number of monsters in your Graveyard, and DEF zero.


 * Sand Moth: After "Sand Moth" is Special Summoned by its own effect, if you activate "Shield & Sword" it will have 1000 ATK / 2000 DEF for that turn.
