Card Rulings

  • Soul Absorption’s effect is based on the number of cards, not on each lump sum of cards. So if 3 DARK monsters are removed from the GY to Special Summon Dark Necrofear, the controller of Soul Absorption gains 1500 Life Points.

  • However, you receive the Life Points from Soul Absorption as a lump sum, so in the case of Dark Necrofear you gain 1500 Life Points but your Fire Princess would only do 500 points of damage.

  • Soul Absorption is a trigger Continuous Spell Card, not a continuous Continuous Spell Card, so activate its effect after the current chain resolves that includes removing cards from play.

  • The effect of Soul Absorption can, itself, be chained to after it activates.

  • If Soul Absorption’s effect activates in response to the Special Summon of a monster like Dark Necrofear or Inferno, Soul Absorption’s effect activates after the monster is Special Summoned.

  • For Chaosrider Gustapth, activate Soul Absorption’s effect after Chaosrider Gustaph’s effect resolves.

  • Your Soul Absorption’s effect activates even when your opponent’s cards are removed.
