Judgment of Anubis
Card effect (current official text)When your opponent activates a Spell Card that would destroy a Spell/Trap Card(s) on the field: Discard 1 card; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it, then you can destroy 1 face-up monster your opponent controls, and if you do that, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's ATK on the field.
Rulings
- You can activate Judgment of Anubis when there are no monsters on your opponent's side of the field.
- When you activate Judgment of Anubis, you destroy your opponent's monster after the activation and the effect of the Spell Care are negated. This means that the monster-destroying effect of Judgment of Anubis does not target.
- You can activate Judgment of Anubis and select a Spell Card that negates the activation of a card and destroys it, like My Body as a Shield or Bait Doll.
- You cannot activate Barrel Behind the Door against Judgment of Anubis because when Judgment of Anubis is activated, it has not been confirmed that the damage-inflicting effect will happen.
