Card Rulings

  • The mandatory Trigger Effect activates & resolves on the field.

  • This effect activates in  Substep 1 - Start of the Damage Step, before the Set monster if revealed.

  • This effect only activates if you control another Six Samurai monster with a different name.

  • The Continuous Effect does not activate, it applies while the destruction occurs.

  • This effect does not target.

  • You can’t destroy a face-down Six Samurai monster instead.

  • You can apply this effect when an effect that destroys this card resolves (ex: Call of the Haunted).

  • Your other Six Samurai is considered destroyed by this effect, not by battle / card 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”.

  • You can apply this effect in Substep 4 - Damage Calculation. The “Six Samurai” that you destroy instead is sent to the GY in Substep 7 - End of the Damage Step.

  • If multiple Six Samurai would be destroyed at once, you can destroy 1 other Six Samurai for each you wish to protect. You can’t only destroy 1 “Six Samurai” to protect all the others.

  • 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

  • Example: If Mirror Force would destroy all your face-up Six Samurai monsters, you can’t destroy any of them as substitutes.

  • 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.
