Card Rulings

  • The Flip Effect is mandatory.

  • The ① Continuous Effect applies while this card is face-up on the field.

    • If this card is not on the field, a monster with an A-Counter won’t lose ATK when battling an “Alien”.

    • If 2 “Alien Grey” (or other monsters with the A-Counter text) are on the field, then a monster with 1 A-Counter will lose 600 ATK while battling an “Alien”.

  • The ② mandatory Trigger Effect activates & resolves in the Graveyard.

    • The effect to draw a card when “Alien Grey” has been flipped face-up is activated even if it had been flipped face-up earlier in the Duel (including Flip Summoned or being changed face-up by a card effect). It does not have to be flipped face-up as a result of the battle that destroyed it.
