Forum:Ruling for you lose life points

According to the ruling if an effect says your opponent lose 500 life points, it says that your opponent cannot used card like rainbow life, and barriel behind the door against a card effect like that because it is not card effect that inflict damage, but gain is the opposite of lose, and when a card says to gain life points, it can still be turn into inflict damage by bad reaction to simounchi while bad reaction effect is written like this:

As long as this card remains face-up on the field, any effect of increasing your opponent's Life Points is changed to inflict the same amount of points in damage to your opponent's Life Points.

To me it does not make any sense that bad reaction to simounchi can reverse a gain of life point like from the trap card gift card, while you cannot do the dirrect opposite with a lose of life that change to a gain with rainbow life, and prime matterial dragon.Supernickid (talk • contribs) 16:35, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
