Card Rulings:Dark Elf

Mentions in Other Rulings

 * Dark Spirit of the Silent: Monsters that have a cost to attack such as "Dark Elf" that are selected with "Dark Spirit of the Silent" do not need to have their costs paid to attack.


 * Skill Drain: While "Skill Drain" is active, "Maintenance Costs" are not negated (see the Advanced Gameplay FAQ) so you still have to pay for "The Unfriendly Amazon", "Armor Exe", Archfiends, etc. However, all other costs are negated, so you do not have to pay to attack with "Dark Elf" or "Jirai Gumo".


 * Staunch Defender: While "Staunch Defender" is active, your opponent must still pay costs to attack with "Dark Elf", etc., if he/she attacks with that monster.
