Card Rulings:Degenerate Circuit

Japanese Rulings

 * The controller MUST pay 500 lifepoints during each of its Standby Phase. Also, since this effect is an "upkeep", it cannot be negate by effect of cards like [Magic Cancellar].


 * If the player's lifepoints is less than 500, this card is destroy (since the cost cannot be paid).


 * The monsters return to hand would never be return to hand but "straightly" goes to RFG. However, the monster would stills treated as it's "leave the field".


 * [Receding Circuit] v. [Kickback] - This card's effect would not activate when [Kickback] returns the monster(s) since that monster is never on the field.
