Rulings

  • You select the card you are activating in your opponent's GY when you activate Double Spell. Double Spell can then be chained to after you announce your selection.
  • The selected card itself CANNOT be chained to as you are in resolution of the chain at that point.
  • If the selected Spell Card is Ritual, Normal, or Quick-Play (except for Swords of Revealing Light), it remains in your opponent's GY and is not placed on the field, so you only need 1 vacant S/T Card Zone spot (for Double Spell itself) to activate Double Spell.
  • If you activate Double Spell and select a Continuous, Field, or Equip Spell Card, or Swords of Revealing Light, you place the selected Spell Card in your S/T Card Zone, so you need 2 vacant S/T Card Zone spots (1 for Double Spell, 1 for the selected card). The Continuous/Field/Equip/Swords of Revealing Light Spell Card then remains on the field as normal.
  • The player who activates Double Spell pays any costs for the selected Spell Card (for Delinquent Duo, Tribute to the Doomed, etc.).
  • You cannot select a Spell Card with Double Spell that cannot be activated, such as an Equip Spell Card when no monsters are on the field.
  • You cannot use Double Spell while Necrovalley is in effect.
  • Q: If I activate my "Double Spell" to use an "Axe of Despair" in my opponent's GY, does the card go to the field? Which side would it be on? A: If you activate "Double Spell" and select a Continuous, Field, or Equip Spell Card, or "Swords of Revealing Light," you place the selected Spell Card in your S/T Card Zone, so you need 2 vacant S/T Card Zone spots (1 for "Double Spell," 1 for the selected card). The Continuous/Field/Equip/"Swords of Revealing Light" Spell Card then remains on the field as normal. 12/18/2003
  • Q: After a continuous card has been activated by "Double Spell," does "Double Spell" stay on the field until the continuous card is destroyed? A: "Double Spell" will go the GY after resolving. It does not remain on the field.
