* You cannot chain "[[Starlight Road]]" to the activation of a "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" trying to destroy a "[[Call of the Haunted]]" because "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" is destroying "[[Call of the Haunted]]" and the monster targeted is not being destroyed by the effect of "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", but by the effect of "[[Call of the Haunted]]".<ref name="CotHaSR">[http://tcg.konami-europe.net/judgeforum/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=90&sid=44fcf6f7abfffbb457a34928b0519031.

* You can respond to the [[Summon]] of '''[[Stardust Dragon]]''' from '''[[Starlight Road]]''' with '''[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]'''.

** Example: If '''[[Starlight Road]]''' is [[Chain]]ed to the activation of '''[[Heavy Storm]]''', then '''[[Heavy Storm]]''' is [[Chain Link]] 1 and '''[[Starlight Road]]''' is Chain Link 2. When '''[[Starlight Road]]''' resolves, it will negate the activation of '''[[Heavy Storm]]''' and destroy it (at the same time, due to the “and if you do” conjunction), then it will Summon '''[[Stardust Dragon]]'''. At this time, the activation of '''[[Heavy Storm]]''' has been negated, so the chain ends. The last thing to happen is the Summon of '''[[Stardust Dragon]]''', so players may respond to that summon with any legal card, including '''[[Bottomless Trap Hole]]'''.<ref>[https://tcg.konami-europe.net/judgeforum/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2268&sid=c37b22568ee09cc0ff3525aa4b421732 Konami Judge Program Forum]: Starlight Road and Bottomless Trap Hole</ref><ref group="Out of Date" name=OutofDate>The [[Card Errata:Starlight Road|newest errata]] of "[[Starlight Road]]" makes it clear that "Starlight Road" does not negate the activation of the card or effect it was Chained to, which makes this ruling invalid.</ref>

TCG Rulings

  • You can only Chain this card directly to the effect that would destroy 2 or more cards you control.[1]
  • You cannot activate “Starlight Road” if your opponent activates “Crush Card Virus” while your only monsters are two facedown monsters with 1500 or more ATK.[1]
  • 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.[1]

Judge Program Forum Rulings

  • You can only activate Starlight Road if the effect that is activated will destroy 2 or more cards you control (per the card text). Even though Dark Hole has the potential to destroy up to 5 cards you control, if it is only destroying 1, you cannot activate Starlight Road.[2]

Out of Date

OCG Rulings

On the Activation Conditions

On Summoning "Stardust Dragon"

  • 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.[14]

Miscellaneous

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.
  2. In the OCG, "Lightsworn" is 「ライトロード」 ("Raitorōdo"; "Lightlord"). This card's OCG name is 「スターライト・ロード」 ("Sutāraito Rōdo"), which may cause confusion.

Out of Date

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