Card Rulings:Light and Darkness Dragon


 * This card's Multi-Trigger effect is Compulsory and can be activated during the Damage Step. The 500 point ATK/DEF reduction applies in the Chain itself.


 * This card's effect is able to negate Trigger or Multi-Trigger effects as well, such as "Messenger of Hades - Gors" or "Kuriboh".


 * This monster's Multi-Trigger effect can only be used once in a chain. Example:
 * Chain 1: "Confiscation" activates.
 * Chain 2: "Light and Darkness Dragon" effect activates.
 * Chain 3: "Mystical Space Typhoon" activates.
 * The effect of this card can only negate the effect of "Confiscation" and decrease the ATK & DEF of this card by 500, but "Mystical Space Typhoon"'s effect still resolves.


 * This card's effect cannot be used against Continuous Spell/Continuous Trap Cards that are already on the field before this card is summoned.


 * If this card's ATK or DEF cannot be reduced again (i.e. The ATK and/or DEF is less than 500), it's effect will not be activated.


 * If your opponent activates "Call of the Haunted" and this card is on the field, this card will negate it's effect, and reduces the ATK/DEF of this card by 500. "Call of the Haunted's" effect will be negated and it will be sent to Graveyard.


 * This card's Multi-Trigger Effect will not be negated even there are two copies of this card on the field. However, if one of the "Light and Darkness Dragons" is destroyed, it's Trigger Effect is negated by the other "Light and Darkness Dragon".


 * When there are two of these cards on both sides of the field and a Spell, Trap or monster Effect activates, the turn player who activated the card needs to activate his/her "Light and Darkness Dragons" effect as well, since the effect is Compulsory, and needs to be resolved before Priority switches to the opponent. The opponent's "Light and Darkness Dragons" effect will not be activated since the target's effect has already been negated.
