TCG Rulings
- You can activate this card during the Damage Step, before damage calculation.[1]
- If the monster you target has less than 800 ATK, its ATK becomes 0 and it will be unaffected by the effects of other Spell/Trap Cards.[1]
- "Emobidment of Apophis [sic]" will be unaffected by "Trap Stun" and similar cards while it is affected by "Forbidden Lance".[1]
- If you use "Forbidden Lance" on a monster being affected by "Shrink", the ATK will be the halved original value minus 800.[1]
Judge Program Forum Rulings
 | These Ruling(s) have not been confirmed as applicable to the TCG.[Notes 2] |
- Suppose that a monster with 1000 or less ATK is Summoned. "Forbidden Lance" is activated in respond to the Summon targeting that monster and "Chain Disappearance" is chained to it. Chain resolves backwards. First, "Chain Disappearance" resolves and the both players removes all monsters of the same name in thier hand and Deck from play and then shuffle their Decks [sic][Notes 1]. Then, "Forbidden Lance" attempts to resolves, but its target is no longer on the field so it will resolve without effect.[2]
OCG Rulings
- If "Machine Duplication" targets a Machine-Type monster with <500 ATK that has been affected by "Forbidden Lance", then you can still Special Summon monsters with the same name as the Machine-Type monster.[3]
Notes
- ↑ Only "Chain Disappearance"'s controller's opponent banishes all cards with the same name as the Summoned monster from their hand and Deck, not both players.
- ↑ Konami Judge Program Rulings are considered unverified, as their source(s) are not publicly viewable. They are not confirmed as applicable to the TCG until they have been officially published by Konami.
