Rulings
- When "Deck Devastation Virus" resolves, this card's ATK is treated as 0 while in your hand or face-down field.
When performing a repeatable loop, after demonstrating the loop once, you may repeat it any number of times without physically performing each action, in order to speed up the flow of the match.
- With this exact setup, you may demonstrate 1 draw loop, and then draw your entire deck: - Imperial Iron Wall face-up and applying - Swap Frog on field - Substitoad on field - Fishborg Blaster in GY - Poison Draw Frog in GY - 3 Thunder Dragon (in hand, Deck, or GY) - Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord in hand - 2 unoccupied Monster Card Zones (or 3, if two of three Swap Frogs are banished)
