Card Rulings

  • A face-down Big Shield Gardna can only negate a Spell Card that targets 1 face-down monster, so it can’t negate Riryoku, Creature Swap or Dark Hole, but could negate Nobleman of Crossout or Tribute to the Doomed.

  • If Big Shield Gardna is targeted with a Spell Card, you may chain Book of Moon to flip it face-down, then it can negate the Spell Card and will flip back to face-up Defense Position.

  • Skill Drain only negates the effects of monsters that are face-up on the field, so a face-down Big Shield Gardna may still negate a Spell Card that targets it while Skill Drain is active on the field. It will still be flipped to face-up Defense Position, and now its effect that changes its battle position when it is attacked will be negated.

  • If Prickle Fairy attacks a face-down Big Shield Gardna both their effects will occur at the end of the Damage Step. Prickle Fairy will be Step 1 and Big Shield Gardna Step 2. So it will change to Attack Position, and then the effect of Prickle Fairy will change it back to Defense Position.
