Cyber Laser Dragon
Nearest-era rulings (Tengu, Sept 2011) — no REDU-specific archive exists.
Card effect (current official text)This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except with "Photon Generator Unit". Once per turn, you can destroy 1 monster with ATK or DEF equal to or higher than the ATK of this card.
Rulings
- This card’s effect targets. You can destroy "Cyber Laser Dragon" with its own effect.
- The ATK or DEF of the targeted monster must be greater than (or equal to) the ATK of "Cyber Laser Dragon" when the effect resolves in order for it to be destroyed. Example: You target "Jinzo" with this card’s effect. The opponent chains "Rush Recklessly" to raise "Cyber Laser Dragon’s" ATK to 3100. "Jinzo" is not destroyed.
- If "Book of Moon" is chained to "Cyber Laser Dragon’s" effect to turn either the targeted monster or "Cyber Laser Dragon" face-down, its effect will not resolve because both monsters’ ATK / DEF values can no longer be compared.
