Card Rulings:DNA Surgery

Other Rulings

 * [Re: Array of Revealing Light] If the Type of a monster is changed (by the effect of "DNA Surgery" for example) during the turn which it was Summoned, it may attack that turn.


 * [Re: Beast Soul Swap] You can use "Beast Soul Swap" to return a non-Beast-Type monster on the field that has been changed to Beast-Type with "DNA Surgery".


 * [Re: D. Tribe] When this card and "DNA Surgery" are both active on the field, whichever one resolved last will dominate.


 * [Re: Electric Virus] If "DNA Surgery" is chained to this effect, so that the target's Type changes before this effect resolves, then the effect is not applied.


 * [Re: Electric Virus] If "DNA Surgery" is activated later in the turn, after this effect has already resolved, it has no effect on the resolution of this effect. (Control does not instantly change back. Control changes back as normal at the end of the turn.)


 * [Re: Firebird] Monsters on the controller's side of the field that are changed to Winged Beast-Type by "DNA Surgery" are included and will increase the ATK of "Firebird" when destroyed.


 * [Re: Insect Princess] When you have "Insect Princess" and a Defense Position "Crass Clown" on your side of the field, and "DNA Surgery" is making "Crass Clown" an Insect-Type, and your opponent takes control of "Crass Clown" with "Change of Heart", "Crass Clown" is changed to Attack Position because of "Insect Princess"' effect and its effect activates.


 * [Re: Legendary Jujitsu Master] If "Legendary Jujitsu Master" is changed to a Fiend-Type or a Zombie-Type by "DNA Surgery" and is attacked by "Getsu Fuhma", "Getsu Fuhma"'s effect is Step 1 of a chain because the turn player is Step 1, and "Legendary Jujitsu Master" is Step 2. "Legendary Jujitsu Master" resolves first and "Getsu Fuhma" is sent back to the top of the Deck, then "Getsu Fuhma"'s effect resolves and "Legendary Jujitsu Master" is destroyed.


 * [Re: Lightning Blade] If the equipped monster's Type is changed into something besides Warrior-Type by "DNA Surgery" or "Scroll of Bewitchment", "Lightning Blade" will be destroyed.


 * [Re: Machine Duplication] If a monster on the field, with an ATK of 500 or less, is changed to Machine-Type with "DNA Surgery", you can use "Machine Duplication" to Special Summon up to 2 copies of it from your Deck.


 * [Re: Maji-Gire Panda] Monsters changed to Beast-Type by "DNA Surgery" are included and will increase the ATK of "Maji-Gire Panda" when destroyed.

 * [Re: Prickle Fairy] If "Prickle Fairy" is changed to an Insect-Type monster with "DNA Surgery", your opponent cannot attack.


 * [Re: Puppet Plant] If "DNA Surgery" is chained to this effect, so that the target's Type changes before this effect resolves, then the effect is not applied.


 * [Re: Puppet Plant] If "DNA Surgery" is activated later in the turn, after this effect has already resolved, it has no effect on the resolution of this effect. (Control does not instantly change back. Control changes back as normal at the end of the turn.)


 * [Re: Rivalry of Warlords] When "Rivalry of Warlords" is active, and you change the Type of all of your monsters with "DNA Surgery" or "Parasite Paracide" or "D. Tribe", you now only have 1 Type so you are OK and no monsters are destroyed, and you can also Summon, Flip Summon, and Special Summon additional monsters that do not have that printed Type on the card and they will be considered that Type and are not destroyed.


 * [Re: Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower] If "DNA Surgery" is in play changing all monsters to Zombie-Types, and a monster that was not originally a Zombie-Type is Special Summoned, "Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower"'s effect is applied and you send 2 cards from your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard.


 * [Re: Super Rejuvenation] If the effect of "DNA Surgery" is making all monsters on the field Dragon-Type, the ones that are Tributed will count for "Super Rejuvenation".


 * [Re: Total Defense Shogun] If "Total Defense Shogun" is a Dragon-Type because of "D. Tribe" or "DNA Surgery", and "Dragon Capture Jar" is in play, "Total Defense Shogun" can still attack.


 * [Re: UFOroid Fighter] You can Special Summon "UFOroid Fighter" using "UFOroid" and a monster that was changed to Warrior-Type with "DNA Surgery", etc.


 * [Re: Voltanis the Adjudicator] If "DNA Surgery" is on the field making all monsters Fairy-Type, then all the monsters you Tributed will count towards "Voltanis's" effect for determining how many cards are destroyed by "Voltanis".


 * [Re: Weapon Change] Even if the selected monster's Type is changed by "DNA Surgery", the monster receives the effect of "Weapon Change".


 * [Re: Wild Nature's Release] If a monster is affected by "Wild Nature's Release", and its Type is then changed with "DNA Surgery", the effect of "Wild Nature's Release" is not negated and the monster is still destroyed during the End Phase.


 * [Re: Winged Minion] If the Fiend-Type monster that was selected for this card's effect is changed into a different Type, by the effect of "DNA Surgery" for example, it retains the 700 point ATK and DEF increase.
