Legendary Flame Lord
Card effect (current official text)This card can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, "Incandescent Ordeal". You must also Tribute monsters whose total Levels equal 7 or more from the field or your hand. Each time you or your opponent activates 1 Spell Card, put 1 Spell Counter on this card. Remove 3 Spell Counters from this card to destroy all monsters on the field except this card.
Rulings
- Legendary Flame Lord gets Spell Counters when Spell Cards resolve, not when they are activated.
- If you activate a Spell Card, and your opponent chains Call of the Haunted to Special Summon Legendary Flame Lord, Legendary Flame Lord does not get a Spell Counter for that Spell Card because Legendary Flame Lord must be face-up on the field when the Spell Card is activated and when it resolves in order to get a Spell Counter.
