Card Rulings:Inaba White Rabbit

Spirit Monster Rulings
The following rules apply to all Spirit Monsters:


 * [Group: SPIRIT MONSTERS] Spirit is not a monster Type; you cannot declare "Spirit" for the effect of "DNA Surgery".


 * [Group: SPIRIT MONSTERS] Spirit Monsters are still Effect Monsters.


 * [Group: SPIRIT MONSTERS] A Spirit Monster must be face-up on the field during the End Phase for it to return to the owner's hand. If it was destroyed or removed from play, it will not return to the owner's hand.


 * [Group: SPIRIT MONSTERS] A Spirit Monster will return to the owner's hand during the End Phase, even if the opponent played it from their hand (through the effect of "Exchange".)

Offical Rulings

 * This card can only attack Life Points directly. It cannot attack another monster. If the opponent controls "Patrician of Darkness" and you attack with "Inaba White Rabbit", it is still a direct attack; they cannot select a monster as the attack target.


 * However, if the opponent controls a monster equipped with "Ring of Magnetism", your "Inaba White Rabbit" must attack the equipped monster if you chose to attack.

Other Rulings

 * [Re: Marauding Captain] If you have 2 "Maurading Captains" on your side of the field, the opponent cannot attack any face-up Warrior-Type monsters you control. They can attack your Life Points directly if they control a monster with an effect that allows it (Such as "Rainbow Flower", "Inaba White Rabbit", or a Toon Monster). They could also attack a non-Warrior Type monster you control.


 * [Re: Patrician of Darkness] "Inaba White Rabbit" must still attack your Life Points directly since it is not able to attack other monsters. You cannot force it to with this card's effect.


 * [Re: Ring of Magnetism] If there is a monster equipped with "Ring of Magnetism" on the opponent's side of the field, if your monsters are going to attack they must attack the equipped monster. Even Toon Monsters, "Inaba White Rabbit", and monsters like "Jinzo #7" and "Queen's Double" that can normally Attack Directly must attack the equipped monster.
