Card Rulings

Declare 1 Type of monster. ●You declare the Type of monster when you activate this card, not when it resolves. This means you pick the Type before the opponent decides whether to chain or not.

  • You can’t change your mind about the Type after you activate this card. The declared Type remains the same as long as this card is on the field.

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

  • This effect does not target, so the effects of Lord of D. or Frontier Wiseman won’t protect monsters from this card’s effect.

  • If the Type of a monster is changed (by the effect of DNA Surgery for example) during the turn which it was Summoned, it may attack that turn.

  • If a monster of the declared Type is Summoned, then flipped face-down (by Book of Moon) and face-up again (by Book of Taiyou), it CAN attack because the non-attack effect was reset AND because flipping it face-up with Book of Taiyou was NOT a Flip Summon.
