Card Rulings:Bad Reaction to Simochi


 * If you have this card on the field and activate Rain of Mercy you gain 1000 Life Points and the opponent takes 1000 points of damage.


 * If the opponent activates Dian Keto the Cure Master, you can chain this card and the opponent will take 1000 points of damage instead of gaining Life Points. If the opponent chains Mystical Space Typhoon to your Bad Reaction to Simochi, they will gain the 1000 Life Points.


 * If the opponent activates Nutrient Z in the Damage Step, you cannot chain Bad Reaction to Simochi since it cannot be activated in the Damage Step. If Bad Reaction to Simochi was already active on the field, its effect would apply to Nutrient Z.


 * Multiple copies of this card are not cumulative. If you have 2 copies of Bad Reaction to Simochi on the field and the opponent activates Dian Keto the Cure Master, they only take 1000 points of damage.
