REDU format ruling
Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
Nearest-era rulings (Tengu, Sept 2011) — no REDU-specific archive exists.
Card effect (current official text)If you control a "Blackwing" monster other than "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind", you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; that target's ATK and DEF become half its current ATK and DEF.
Rulings
- If this effect affects "Tragoedia", Tragoedia's ATK will "freeze" at whatever value it becomes, even if the number of cards in hand changes.
- If this effect halves the effect of a monster whose ATK is already being modified, for example by "Rush Recklessly" or "Axe of Despair", those effects are no longer applied to that monster. For example, if a monster with 2000 ATK is equipped by "Axe of Despair", and then has its ATK halved by Gale, its ATK will become 1500, and will remain at 1500 even if Axe leaves the field or becomes negated.
