Card Rulings¶

• The ① Continuous Effect does not activate.

  • If you Tribute a face-up “Queen of Thorns” for a Tribute / Special Summon, pay 1000 Life Points.

  • Apply this effect when a player would to perform a Normal / Special Summon from the hand.

  • Pay 1000 Life Points as a cost when performing a Normal / Special Summon (ex: “Lava Golem”).

    • Example: “Celestial Transformation” is activated by a player with <1000 Life Points and an effect Special Summons “Queen of Thorns”. “Celestial Transformation” resolves without effect because the player does not have enough Life Points to pay for the Special Summon.

• If there are 2 face-up “Queen of Thorns”, players must pay 2000 Life Points.
