Card Rulings

  • The Ⓒ Condition cannot be negated. It must first be Special Summoned by “Assault Mode Activate”.

    • You cannot Special Summon this card with “Call of the Haunted”, only its own effect.

  • The ① Quick Effect activates & resolves on the field.

    • Tributing “Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode” is a cost.

    • This negates the activation of a card / effect, even in the Damage Step [REF1, REF2, REF3].

      • This includes Ignition-like Effect (ex: “Blaze Accelerator”), Quick-like Effects (ex: “Skull Lair”), and Trigger-like Effects (ex: “Blast with Chain”).

    • This effect CAN be activated if “Deck Devastation Virus” would destroy a face-up monster.

    • This effect CAN negate the activation of “Royal Oppression”, when it is played face-up, and also the activated effect of “Royal Oppression” that is already face-up.

    • This effect CANNOT be activated if this card is destroyed by Battle, even if “Red Dragon Archfiend” activates its effect in Substep 5 - After Damage Calculation.

  • The ② optional Trigger Effect activates during the End Phase ONLY if: “Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode” successfully resolved its ① effect this turn, and “Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode” is in your Graveyard.

    • If your opponent controls your “Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode” and they use its ① effect, during the End Phase you can Special Summon it from your Graveyard via its ② effect.

    • If this effect is negated (by “Royal Oppression” / “Divine Wrath”), “Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode” remains in the Graveyard and cannot activate this effect again [REF].

  • If your Defense Position “Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode” is attacked by “Red Dragon Archfiend” and it is destroyed by battle, its ① effect cannot be used to negate the effect of “Red Dragon Archfiend” that destroys your Defense Position monsters.

  • The ③ optional Trigger Effect targets a “Stardust Dragon” in your Graveyard.

    • Even if a face-down Defense Position “Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode” etc. on the field is destroyed by a card effect, you can activate its effect that Special Summons “Red Dragon Archfiend” etc. from your Graveyard (this ruling also applies to “Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode”).

    • Even if “Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode” etc. is destroyed and banished, you can Special Summon “Red Dragon Archfiend” etc. from your Graveyard (this ruling also applies to “Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode”).

    • Even if a “Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode” etc. in the Spell & Trap Zone that is treated as an Equip Card is destroyed, you can Special Summon “Red Dragon Archfiend” etc. from your Graveyard (this ruling also applies to “Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode”).

    • If a “Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode” Special Summoned by “Assault Revival” is destroyed and banished, since its effect that activates when it leaves the field is not negated, you can Special Summon “Red Dragon Archfiend” (this ruling applies to “Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode”).
