Forum:Official Prisma Ruling From Konami

I am a RC-1 Active Roster judge for konami and I've been trying to get them to rule officially on Prisma in the TCG. We've been playing him as effect anyways, but it's now official. They sent me an email today ruling that Prisma is effect for TCG.

From Konami:

RE: Elemental Hero Prisma ... From: US YGO Rules  ... View Contact To:	Gentleyami  The ruling that we have been given and instructed to use says that Prisma is not a cost.

How are you? Quick Question. In the OCG Prisma is counted as a cost to resolve his effect. So if the turn player calls priority upon summoning Prisma you send a monster to the graveyard as part of the cost. If your opponent responds with bottomless trap hole, skill drain or divine wrath then the monster is still revealed in the extra deck and the monster sent from the deck to the graveyard. Prisma either is destroyed or goes out of play or is negated and does not acquire the monster's name as the resolution of his effect.

In World Championship 2010, Reverse of Arcadia and in Tag Force 4, North American Editions, Prisma is counted as a cost. Please verify this. Thank you for considering this matter.
