Card Rulings:Nekroz of Trishula

OCG Rulings

 * This card must be Ritual Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. (It cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by an effect like "Monster Reborn".)


 * The "During either player's turn, when a "Necloth" monster(s) you control is targeted by a card or effect: You can discard this card; negate the activation." effect is a Quick Effect that is activated from your hand. (It does not target. Discarding this card from your hand is a cost to activate this effect. It can be activated during the Damage Step.)


 * The "When this card is Ritual Summoned: You can banish 1 card from your opponent's side of the field, hand (at random) and Graveyard." effect is a Trigger Effect that is activated from the field. (It does not target.)


 * If you cannot banish 1 card from each your opponent's side of the field, hand and Graveyard, then you cannot activate this effect. (Similarly, if your opponent has no cards in their hand when this effect resolves, this effect is not applied, and you cannot banish any card from your opponent's side of the field, hand or Graveyard.)


 * Cards banished by the "When this card is Ritual Summoned: You can banish 1 card from your opponent's side of the field, hand (at random) and Graveyard." effect are banished face-up even if they are face-down on the field.


 * When the "When this card is Ritual Summoned: You can banish 1 card from your opponent's side of the field, hand (at random) and Graveyard." effect resolves, you can choose to banish a monster that was affected by the effect of "Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand". If you do, that monster is not banished, but the other cards from the hand and Graveyard are banished as usual.


 * While the effect of "Necrovalley" is being applied, since you cannot banish cards from the Graveyard, you cannot activate the "When this card is Ritual Summoned: You can banish 1 card from your opponent's side of the field, hand (at random) and Graveyard." effect.


 * If the activation of a card or effect is negated by the effect of "The Necloth of Trishula", that card is not destroyed.
 * Example: If the activation of the effect of "Snipe Hunter" is negated, "Snipe Hunter" remains on the field. If the activation of a Normal Trap Card or Normal Spell Card like "Soul Taker" or "Compulsory Evacuation Device" are negated, they are sent to the Graveyard.


 * If your opponent activates the effect of "Breakthrough Skill" from their Graveyard and targets 1 "Necloth" monster you control, since a "Necloth" monster you control was targeted by a card effect, the effect of "The Necloth of Trishula" can be chained to "Breakthrough Skill".


 * If a face-down "Necloth" monster you control is targeted by a card effect, the effect of "The Necloth of Trishula" cannot be chained.


 * If "Icarus Attack" is activated targeting 1 "Necloth" monster you control and 1 Spell/Trap Card, since a "Necloth" monster you control was targeted by a card effect, the effect of "The Necloth of Trishula" can be chained to "Icarus Attack". (The activation of "Icarus Attack" is negated, and none of the 2 targeted cards are destroyed.)
