Forum:Tyrant's Temper Ruling

Tyrant's Temper

Tribute 1 monster to activate this card. All face-up monsters on the field that you own are unaffected by other Trap Cards. --- Elemental Hero Wildheart

This card is unaffected by the effects of Trap Cards.

--This is the ruling that supports my thoughts on Tyrant's Temper.--

"If you attack with "Elemental Hero Wildheart" and the opponent activates "Widespread Ruin", if "Elemental Hero Wildheart" is your monster with the highest ATK, no monster will be destroyed by the effect of "Widespread Ruin". If the opponent activates "Mirror Force", "Elemental Hero Wildheart" will not be destroyed, but all your other Attack Position monsters will be destroyed. If the opponent activates "Negate Attack", their attack will not be negated, and the Battle Phase will not end. If the opponent activates "Magic Cylinder", their attack will not be negated and no Effect Damage will be dealt."

I chose Elemental Hero Wildheart as a reference point because his effect says unaffected, which is the same wording as Tyrant's Temper.

Magic Cylinder(Old)

Negate the attack of 1 of your opponent's monsters and inflict damage equal to the attacking monster's ATK to your opponent's Life Points.

Magic Cylinder(New)

When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Target the attacking monster; negate the attack, and if you do inflict damage to your opponent equal to its attack.

I'm pretty sure I've got this correct, but I'm looking to get some insight from others.

If I have a monster that attacks while Tyrant's Temper is face-up, if my opponent activates negate attack, would it negate the attack, and end the battle-phase, not negate the attack and then end the battle phase, or not negate the attack and not end the battle phase?

I believe that it would not negate the attack, and would not end the battle phase.

Here is my reasoning:

Considering that Elemental Hero Wild Heart's ruling states that in this case, "If the opponent activates "Negate Attack", their attack will not be negated, and the Battle Phase will not end." Tyrant's Temper makes it where all monsters on its side of the field are unaffected by trap cards( with the exception to itself). With regard to that that would essentially make all monsters on Tyrant's Temper's side of the field an Elemental Hero Wildheart. Thus applying the ruling from Elemental Hero Wild Heart to monsters that are on Tyrant's Temper's side of the field would be correct.

Could someone state whether that analysis is correct/ wrong? If its wrong, please explain why.

If I have a monster that attacks while Tyrant's Temper is face-up, if my opponent activates Magic Cylinder, would it negate the attack and inflict damage, not negate the attack and inflict damage, or neither negate the attack or damage.

I believe that it would not negate the attack, and that it would not inflict damage.

Here is my reasoning:

Considering that Elemental Hero Wild Heart's ruling states that in this case, "If the opponent activates "Magic Cylinder", their attack will not be negated and no Effect Damage will be dealt." Once again Tyrant's Temper makes it where all monsters on its side of the field are unaffected by trap cards( with the exception to itself). With regard to that that would essentially make all monsters on Tyrant's Temper's side of the field an Elemental Hero Wildheart. Thus applying the ruling from Elemental Hero Wild Heart to monsters that are on Tyrant's Temper's side of the field would be correct.
