Card Rulings:Giant Orc

Mentions in Other Rulings

 * [Re: Divine Wrath] You cannot activate "Divine Wrath" when "Giant Orc"...changes to Defense Position because these are considered Continuous Effects.


 * [Re: Final Attack Orders] While "Final Attack Orders" is active, effects of..."Giant Orc"...are resolved, but they are immediately changed back to Attack Position.


 * [Re: Pole Position] I have "Pole Position", "Blade Knight" (1600 ATK / LIGHT), and "Luminous Spark" (+500 ATK to LIGHT) face-up on the field and 2 cards in my hand. The opponent has "Giant Orc" (2200 ATK / EARTH) face-up on the field, which is the highest-ATK monster on the field. If I Set 1 of the 2 cards in my hand, "Blade Knight" gains +400 ATK with its effect, becomes the highest-ATK monster, and because of "Luminous Spark" an infinite loop is created. So I am not allowed to Set a card.


 * [Re: Pole Position] The opponent has "Blade Knight" (1600 ATK) equipped with "Butterfly Dagger - Elma" (+300 ATK; 1900 ATK total) and 2 cards in hand, along with "Marauding Captain" (1200 ATK). The turn player has "Robbin' Goblin", "Pole Position", and "Giant Orc" (2200 ATK). The turn player attacks "Marauding Captain" with "Giant Orc", inflicting 1000 points of damage. The opponent has to discard a card because of "Robbin' Goblin" and an infinite loop is created because "Blade Knight" now fluctuates between 2300 and 2000 ATK (either above or below "Giant Orc", making it the strongest monster on the field... or not). Therefore, "Pole Position" is destroyed.


 * [Re: Tragedy] ..."Giant Orc" change their battle positions at the end of the Battle Phase, so you can activate "Tragedy" at that time.
