Nearest-era rulings (Tengu, Sept 2011) — no REDU-specific archive exists.
Card effect (current official text)Only a monster with an ATK of 1000 points or less can be equipped with this card. During damage calculation, increase the ATK of the monster equipped with this card by 2500 points if the opponent's monster that battles it is in Attack Position and its ATK is 2500 or more, OR if the opponent's monster that battles it is in Defense Position and its DEF is 2500 or more.
Rulings
- If the equipped monster’s ATK is raised above 1000 points, by any effect other than Buster Rancher’s own effect, Buster Rancher is destroyed.
- You can equip 2 copies of Buster Rancher to the same monster but because of Buster Rancher’s effect, when you increase the ATK by 1 Buster Rancher effect, the other Buster Rancher is destroyed.
- If Injection Fairy Lily is equipped with Buster Rancher, and you use her effect to increase her ATK, Buster Rancher is destroyed. If Injection Fairy Lily battles a monster equipped with Buster Rancher, and her effect is used to increase her ATK, then Buster Rancher’s effect activates and increases the ATK of the other monster.
