Rulings
- Sending 1 card to the GY is a cost. This is not discarding so it doesn't trigger Forced Requisition, and you can pay the cost even if Goblin of Greed is in play.
- If a monster equipped with Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou attacks and destroys Amazoness Fighter or Amazoness Swordswoman, their effects are not negated because they happen during damage calculation, before they are determined to have been destroyed.bishop
- Q: Does "Wicked-Breaking Flamberge – Baou" permanently disable monster effects such as "Sinister Serpent?" Or are there some kind of limits as to how long its effect lasts on the monster? A: It would work just like the effect of Dark Ruler Ha Des.
- Q: Does Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou negate Flip Effects of destroyed monsters, or just "Sangan", "Mystic Tomato", and "Dark Necrofear" type cards? A: A monster equipped with Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou will negate the effect of any monster it destroys. This includes Flip Effect monsters, because Flip Effects are not applied until AFTER damage calculation (at which point a monster has already been determined to either remain on the field or be destroyed from battle).
