Card Rulings:Riryoku Field


 * This card cannot be used against "Monster Reborn" or "Premature Burial" since they do not target a monster on the field.


 * This card cannot be used against "Fissure", "Smashing Ground", or "Dark Hole" because these cards do not target.

Mentions in other rulings

 * Black Pendant: If this card's activation is negated, such as with "Magic Jammer" or "Riryoku Field" it does not do damage to your opponent.


 * Creature Swap: The opponent cannot chain "Fairy's Hand Mirror", "Riryoku Field", or "Shift" to "Creature Swap" because it does not target. For the same reason, "Lord of D." does not prevent Dragon-Type monsters from being selected, and "Freed the Matchless General" will not negate the effect of "Creature Swap".


 * Curse of Royal: You can use "Curse of Royal" against cards like "Magic Jammer", "Seven Tools of the Bandit", "Solemn Judgment", "Curse of Royal", "Mystical Space Typhoon", "Dust Tornado", "Magic Drain", "Riryoku Field", "Judgment of Anubis", etc.


 * Embodiment of Apophis: If an effect that destroys Trap Cards is used against "Embodiment of Apophis", you can use "Fake Trap" to prevent it from being destroyed. When preventing the destruction of "Embodiment of Apophis", you must be using a card of the appropriate type. You cannot use "My Body as a Shield" to rescue it from "Heavy Storm". You cannot use "Fake Trap" to rescue it from "Raigeki". You can use "Riryoku Field" when "Embodiment of Apophis" is targeted by "Snatch Steal", but not when it's targeted by "Mystical Space Typhoon". You can use any of these effects to protect "Embodiment of Apophis" from "Raigeki Break" because "Raigeki Break" can destroy a Monster card or a Trap Card.


 * Spirit Reaper: If "Spirit Reaper" is targeted by an Equip Spell Card, and an effect like "Dust Tornado" is chained to destroy the Equip Spell Card before it resolves, "Spirit Reaper" is still destroyed because the activation of the Equip Spell Card was not negated, even though the effect of the Equip Spell Card is not applied. (If "Magic Jammer" or "Riryoku Field" was used instead, then "Spirit Reaper" would not be destroyed because both of those Trap Cards would negate the Equip Spell Card's activation.)
