TCG Rulings

Mentions in Other Rulings

  • Starlight Road: Negating and destroying a card and Special Summoning “Stardust Dragon” do not happen at the same time. First you negate and destroy the card, then you Special Summon “Stardust Dragon.” If you don’t Special Summon, the effect of “Starlight Road” ends after negating and destroying the card.

Judge Program Forum Rulings

Ambox notice These Ruling(s) have not been confirmed as applicable to the TCG.[Notes 1]
  • If "Divine Wrath" is chained to the "During either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated that would destroy a card(s) on the field: You can Tribute this card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it." effect of "Stardust Dragon" and negates it, then "Stardust Dragon" will not be able to activate its effect to Special Summon itself during the End Phase.[1]
  • The effect of "Stardust Dragon" to negate the descruction [sic] effect must be chained directly to the effect that it is trying to negate. This means that if two trigger effects are triggered simultaneously and are both placed on the Chain, "Startdust Dragon" [sic] will only be able to activate and negate in response to the effect in Chain link 2.[4]

Out of Date

OCG Rulings

On the Effect which Negates Activations

  • To activate "Stardust Dragon"'s effect against another effect, the other effect must destroy a card when it resolves. You cannot activate "Stardust Dragon"'s effect when "Night Assailant" is sent from the hand to the Graveyard, since it does not destroy card(s) (even though "Night Assailant"'s Flip Effect destroys a card).[9]

Negating Specific Cards

Versus Specific Cards

On the Effect which Special Summons

Mentions in Other Rulings

  • De-Synchro: Suppose that "Stardust Dragon" Tributes itself and then Special Summons itself back to the field during the End Phase. If it is targeted by "De-Synchro", then it returns to the Extra Deck, but you do not Special Summon the Synchro Material Monsters from your Graveyard.[29]
  • Starlight Road: The effect of "Starlight Road" which negates and destroys does not resolve at the same time as the effect which Special Summons "Stardust Dragon". "Stardust Dragon" is Special Summoned after the card is destroyed and its effect is negated. If "Stardust Dragon" cannot be Special Summoned, then the effect finishes resolving with negating the effect and destroying the card.[44]

Previously Official Rulings

Ambox notice These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[49] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise. References: [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58]
  • "Stardust Dragon's" first effect can still be chained if it is the only card that will be destroyed by the activated effect.
  • "Stardust Dragon's" second [sic] effect can only be chained to an effect that will destroy card(s) on the field. For example, if "Night Assailant" second effect is activated when it is discarded, "Stardust Dragon's" effect cannot be chained because this effect does not destroy card(s) on the field.
  • If "Stardust Dragon" is attacking or being attacked and its effect is used in the Damage Step before damage calculation, damage calculation does not occur.


Notes

  1. ↑ 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.

Out of Date

  1. ↑ "Starlight Road"'s newest errata states that it does not negate the activation of the card or effect it was Chained to, which makes this ruling invalid.
