Card Rulings:Bujingi Crane

OCG Rulings

• Sending this card from the hand to the Graveyard is a cost.

• This effect does not target.

• If the effect of "Bujingi Crane" is activated during damage calculation when "Doomcaliber Knight" battles and the effect of "Doomcaliber Knight" is chained to the effect of "Bujingi Crane", Tributing itself, then damage calculation is not performed and the Damage Step ends. A replay does not occur.

• Even if the ATK has been modified by an Equip Spell Card like "Axe of Despair", the ATK of a monster you control affected by the effect of "Bujingi Crane" becomes twice its original ATK during damage calculation only. (If the effect of "Bujingi Crane" is activated while "Bujin Yamato" is equipped with "Axe of Despair", the ATK of "Bujin Yamato" is doubled from 1800 ATK to 3600 ATK during damage calculation only. Afterwards, the ATK returns to the previous value before the effect of "Bujingi Crane" was applied. In this case, the ATK returns to the value it had when it gained 1000 ATK by the effect of "Axe of Despair", for a total of 2800 ATK.)

• If the effect of "Bujingi Crane" is applied on a "Bujintei Kagutsuchi" that had its ATK increased by 300 by its own effect, so that it has 2800 ATK, the ATK of "Bujintei Kagutsuchi" becomes twice its original ATK (=2500) for a total of 5000 ATK. Afterwards, when the effect of that "Bujingi Crane" is no longer applied, the ATK gained by the effect of "Bujintei Kagutsuchi" is not applied again, and its ATK returns to its original ATK (=2500).

• Even if "Bujin Yamato" had its ATK and DEF halved by the effect of "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind", if that "Bujin Yamato" is affected by the effect of "Bujingi Crane", its ATK becomes twice its original ATK (=1800) for a total of 3600 during damage calculation only. Afterwards, when the effect of that "Bujingi Crane" is no longer applied, the ATK of "Bujin Yamato" becomes 1800 and its DEF remains at 100. (The DEF value changed by the effect of "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" does not change.)
