Rulings
- If Kisetai is moved by the effect of Collected Power it is destroyed.
- Monster Cards equipped to Sword Hunter can be moved to another Sword Hunter, but if they are moved to any other monster they are destroyed.
- Monster Cards equipped to Relinquished or Thousand-Eyes Restrict can be moved to another Relinquished or Thousand-Eyes Restrict but if either of these monsters is already equipped with a Monster Card, the new one is destroyed. If these moved to any other monster, the cards are destroyed.
- You can move Snatch Steal with this card’s effect, and it will affect the newly equipped monster (the controller of Snatch Steal gains control of it, and loses control of the previously equipped monster).
- If a Premature Burial already equipped to a monster is moved to a new monster by the effect of Collected Power, both Premature Burial and the original monster it was equipped to are destroyed. If you chain Collected Power to Premature Burial, the monster in the GY that was targeted never leaves the GY and Premature Burial is destroyed.
- If multiple Union Monsters are going to be equipped to 1 legal target monster by Collected Power, you select 1 of them and equip it to the target monster, and the other Union Monster Cards are destroyed.
- Q: What I want to know is when I use "Collected Power," is its effect only good for the turn it was activated or do the Equip Spell Cards stay on the monster I chose until it or they are destroyed? A: The Equip Spell Cards will remain on the chosen monster until either the monster or the Equip Spell Cards are destroyed or removed from the field. Steve Okegawa, 12/05/2003
- Q: Does "Collected Power" bring "United We Stand" and/or "Mage Power" to my side of the field. Do they power up my monster or is there no affect since I'm not the owner of the cards? A: They will remain on the side of the field belonging to the person who played them. Treat this like what occurs when you use "Change of Heart" on a monster equipped with either of those two cards.
- Q: Can Collected Power be used to re-equip multiple Union monsters to the same monster at once? A: The card text states that it can only be equipped with one monster at a time, besides Union monsters only affect their appropriate counterparts as listed on the card itself. 12/10/03
