Card Rulings:The Monarchs Erupt

OCG Rulings

 * This card cannot be activated during the Damage Step.


 * This card can only be activated if you have no cards in your Extra Deck. (If you have cards in your Extra Deck after activating this card, it is not sent to the Graveyard.)


 * This card can only be activated if you control a face-up Tribute Summoned monster or a face-down Tribute Set monster. (Even if you don't control a Tribute Summoned monster, this card is not immediately sent to the Graveyard. It is sent to the Graveyard by the effect that is applied during the End Phase.)


 * The "During your End Phase, if you do not control a Tribute Summoned monster, send this card to the Graveyard." effect does not start a Chain Link.


 * Since the "During your End Phase, if you do not control a Tribute Summoned monster, send this card to the Graveyard." effect is treated as the effect of a Trap Card, if its being negated by the effect of "Royal Decree", "Ambush of the Monarchs" is not sent to the Graveyard during your End Phase.
