Rulings
- This card can remove from play multiple monsters at once, if they are Summoned simultaneously. Since this card can affect multiple monsters, it does not target.
- If the opponent has Lord of D. on the field and activates The Flute of Summoning Dragon to Special Summon 2 copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, you can activate this card and both will be removed from play. Lord of D. does not protect the Dragons because Bottomless Trap Hole does not target. The same situation would occur if only 1 Blue-Eyes White Dragon was Special Summoned, Bottomless Trap Hole still does not target.
- This card can only be activated when the last thing that resolved in the Duel was the opponent Normal/Flip/Special Summoning a monster(s). It cannot be activated at any other time.
- If Cyber Jar is flipped during a MP, and the opponent Special Summons Dark Blade, Luster Dragon, Magical Scientist and a face-down monster, you can activate Bottomless Trap Hole and both Luster Dragon and Dark Blade will be removed from play. The Magical Scientist, face-down monster, and all monsters you Summoned will remain on the field.
- If Cyber Jar is flipped as a result of being attacked, you cannot activate Bottomless Trap Hole because it cannot be activated during the Damage Step.
- If the opponent Summons a monster, then you activate Bottomless Trap Hole, and the opponent chains Book of Moon to flip the Summoned monster face-down, it is not removed from play by the effect of Bottomless Trap Hole.
- Use the current ATK at time of Summoning to determine if you can activate Bottomless Trap Hole. So if the opponent Tribute Summons Enraged Muka Muka with 1 card in their hand, you can activate Bottomless Trap Hole (since its ATK is 1600).
- You cannot activate this card after Jinzo is Summoned. (Continues)
