Rulings
- The card discarded by the effect of Drop Off is considered to be discarded from your hand, not your Deck. If Penguin Knight is the card discarded, its effect will not activate. If Electric Snake, Regenerating Mummy, or Fear from the Dark is the card discarded, its effect will activate.
- This card is activated during the opponent’s DP in response to the opponent drawing a card. It is not chained to the draw.
- If a Quick-Play Spell Card is drawn, the opponent may activate it in a chain to Drop Off and the effect of Drop Off will disappear since the drawn card is no longer in the opponent’s hand.
- If the fifth and final piece of Exodia is drawn, the opponent wins before the effect of Drop Off is resolved.
- Q: If my opponent activated "Drop Off," can I chain with "Raigeki Break" or another Speed 2 card? A: Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. 12/07/03
- Q: Can you activate "Drop Off" to any effect of drawing by your opponent? A: No. 12/15/03
- Q: Can a player activate "Drop Off" before their opponent has drawn a card or can they activate it if their opponent has already started MP 1? A: If they activate Drop Off before the opponent draws in their DP the activation is illegal and Drop Off is turned face-down. If the player wasn't paying attention and said nothing as the opponent progressed through their turn they cannot activate the Drop Off.
