TCG Rulings[]
- The effect to add "Fire Ant Ascator" or "Supay" to your hand activates even during the Damage Step.[1]
- If the ATK of "Oracle of the Sun" is being doubled by "Supay" and "Skill Drain" is activated, the ATK remains doubled.[1]
- When you Special Summon "Oracle of the Sun" with the effect of "Supay" it is Special Summoned with 2000 ATK. Then you apply any bonuses from Field Spells or Continuous Effects.[1]
Mentions in Other Rulings[]
- Apocatequil: The effect to Special Summon 1 "Oracle of the Sun" targets the "Oracle of the Sun."
OCG Rulings[]
- The effect of "Oracle of the Sun" which adds "Supay" or "Fire Ant Ascator" to your hand will activate even if "Oracle of the Sun" on the field is destroyed during the Damage Step.[2]
- If "Oracle of the Sun" is Special Summoned by the effect of "Fire Ant Ascator", then during the End Phase "Oracle of the Sun" is sent to the Graveyard. This is not the same as "destroying" it, so the effect which adds "Supay" or "Fire Ant Ascator" to your hand will not activate.[3]
Mentions in Other Rulings[]
- Apocatequil: The effect of "Apocatequil" which Special Summons "Oracle of the Sun" targets one "Oracle of the Sun" in your Graveyard.[4]
- Apocatequil: If "Apocatequil" is face-down on the field and is destroyed by a card effect while it is face-down, then you can still Special Summon a "Oracle of the Sun" from your Graveyard.[5]
- Fire Ant Ascator: The effect of "Fire Ant Ascator" only negates effects which are applied while the monster is face-up on the field and effects which activate on the field. Thus, if "Oracle of the Sun" is Special Summoned by the effect of "Fire Ant Ascator" and is destroyed, then its effect to add "Supay" or "Fire Ant Ascator" to your hand will activate and will not be negated.[3]
- Supay: The effect of "Supay" which doubles the ATK of "Oracle of the Sun" and destroys it during the End Phase is resolved as the same effect which Special Summons "Oracle of the Sun".[6]
