Nearest-era rulings (Tengu, Sept 2011) — no REDU-specific archive exists.
Card effect (current official text)During your Main Phase, you can equip this card to 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. That monster loses 800 ATK and DEF. When it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, its controller sends cards equal to its Level from the top of their Deck to the Graveyard.
Rulings
- Iron Chain Snake's first effect targets 1 face-up monster your opponent controls.
- The player that controlled the equipped monster when it was destroyed sends cards from the top of their Deck to the GY.
- If Iron Chain Snake is equipped to a monster with another card's effect, the equipped monster does not lose ATK and DEF. However, when the equipped monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY, the effect of Iron Chain Snake activates.
- When the equipped monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY, if its controller has fewer cards in their Deck than the Level of the destroyed monster, every card left in their Deck is sent to the GY.
