Card Rulings¶

• The Unclassified Effect works like a built-in Special Summon. This Summon does not start a chain.

• The Continuous Effect applies so long as Great Shogun Shien is face-up on the field.

• Your opponent can activate either 1 Spell Card or 1 Trap Card each turn; not one of each.

• If the activation of your opponent’s Spell/Trap Card is negated (by “Dark Bribe), they can still activate 1 more Spell/Trap Card after that.

• This effect applies during both players’ turns.

• The effects of face-up Spell / Trap Cards can be activated without restriction.

• The effects of Spell / Trap Cards in the GYs can be activated without restriction.

• If your opponent activates a Spell / Trap Card, and later you Special Summon “Great Shogun Shien” (or flip him face-up), your opponent can activate 1 more Spell / Trap Card this turn.

• The Continuous Effect does not activate.

• This effect does not target. You can’t destroy a face-down “Six Samurai” monster instead.

• This effect applies while resolving the effect (ex: Call of the Haunted, Raigeki Break).

• Your other “Six Samurai” monster is considered to be destroyed by this (your) effect.

• Example: If “Ring of Destruction” targets a “Six Samurai” monster, and you destroy a different “Six Samurai” monster instead, zero damage will be inflicted by “Ring of Destruction”.

• This effect can apply in Substep 4 - Damage Calculation. The substitute “Six Samurai” is sent to the GY in Substep 7 - End of the Damage Step, it is not treated as ‘destroyed by battle’.

• You can’t destroy 1 “Six Samurai” to save multiple other “Six Samurai” monsters at the same time.

• Example: If Mirror Force would destroy 2 of your Six Samurai monsters, you must destroy 2 Defense Position Six Samurai monsters to save those two.

• This effect can’t apply if the substitute “Six Samurai” is also being destroyed by the effect.

• Example: If Mirror Force would destroy all your Six Samurai, you can’t substitute any.

• If you control 2 “Six Samurai” monsters, and 1 of them equipped with “Legendary Ebon Steed” would be destroyed, the effect of “Legendary Ebon Steed” must be used. You can’t choose to destroy another “Six Samurai” monster instead.
