Rulings
- If you have 2 Maurading Captains on your side of the field, the opponent cannot attack any face-up Warrior-Type monsters you control. They can attack your Life Points directly if they control a monster with an effect that allows it (Such as Rainbow Flower, Inaba White Rabbit, or a Toon Monster). They could also attack a non-Warrior Type monster you control.
- Your opponent can attack face-down monsters while you have Maurading Captain on the field, even if the face-down monster is Warrior-Type.
- If you control Maurading Captain and a Warrior-Type monster equipped with Ring of Magnetism, the opponent must attack the monster equipped with Ring of Magnetism if they choose to attack.
- If you control 2 Maurading Captains and one of them is equipped with Ring of Magnetism, your opponent cannot attack either one.
- If you control Patrician of Darkness, Maurading Captain and a Warrior-Type monster when your opponent attacks, you can use the effect of Patrician of Darkness to redirect the attack to Patrician of Darkness or Maurading Captain only. Not to the other Warrior-Type monster because it cannot be attacked.
- The monster Special Summoned by the effect of Maurading Captain does NOT have to be a Warrior-Type monster.
- If your opponent activates Torrential Tribute in response to the Summoning of Maurading Captain (by chaining to the Trigger Effect of Marauding Captain), all monsters on the field will be destroyed, and then you Special Summon for Maurading Captain’s effect. If they wait and activate Torrential Tribute in response to the Special Summoning of a monster for the effect of Marauding Captain, then all monsters will be destroyed including the newly-Special Summoned monster.
