Rulings
- Chaos Command Magician must be face-up to negate a monster effect; if face-down then Chaos Command Magician will not negate any effects.
- When Chaos Command Magician is targeted by a card that doesn't select only 1 target, the effect of Chaos Command Magician is NOT applied and the effect resolves as normal.
- When Penguin Soldier targets 2 monsters, including Chaos Command Magician, this is an effect targets, but not one that select 1 target. So Chaos Command Magician will not negate the effect of Penguin Soldier. However, if Penguin Soldier only targets Chaos Command Magician, then it is an effect that selects 1 target so Chaos Command Magician WILL negate the effect of Penguin Soldier.
- Vs. Dark Cat With White Tail, that effect selects 3 targets so Chaos Command Magician will not negate Dark Cat With White Tail's effect.
- If Chaos Command Magician is targeted by Dark Necrofear, that effect selects 1 target so the effect of Dark Necrofear is negated and it is not equipped to Chaos Command Magician.
- When Chaos Command Magician battles D. D. Warrior Lady, her effect is NOT negated because it does not target.
- You can activate the effect of Metallizing Parasite - Lunatite and target Chaos Command Magician, but Chaos Command Magician will negate the effect and Metallizing Parasite - Lunatite will remain on the field as a monster.
