Legendary Flame Lord
Nearest-era rulings (Tengu, Sept 2011) — no REDU-specific archive exists.
Card effect (current official text)This card can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, "Incandescent Ordeal". You must also Tribute monsters whose total Levels equal 7 or more from the field or your hand. Each time you or your opponent activates 1 Spell Card, put 1 Spell Counter on this card. Remove 3 Spell Counters from this card to destroy all monsters on the field except this card.
Rulings
- You place a Spell Counter on this card when the Spell Card resolves, so if Magic Jammer is used to negate the Spell Card's activation then you do not place a Spell Counter on this monster. But if Imperial Order is chained to the Spell Card, you still place a Spell Counter on this monster because the activation of the Spell Card was not negated. If the Spell Card was a Continuous, Equip, or Field Spell Card, and "Dust Tornado" is chained to its activation and destroys it before it resolves you still place a Spell Counter because the activation of the card was not negated.
- If you activate a Spell Card, and your opponent chains Call of the Haunted to Special Summon Legendary Flame Lord, Legendary Flame Lord does not get a Spell Counter for that Spell Card because Legendary Flame Lord must be face-up on the field when the Spell Card is activated and when it resolves in order to get a Spell Counter.
