Nearest-era rulings (Tengu, Sept 2011) — no REDU-specific archive exists.
Card effect (current official text)Select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to half that monster's original ATK. Your monsters cannot attack this turn.

Rulings

  • If an effect is chained that destroys the selected monster, removes it from the field, or flips it face-down, then no damage is inflicted. You still cannot attack that turn.
  • You can select your opponent’s "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" for "Misfortune’s" effect and the opponent will still take damage. This is because "Misfortune" has no effect on the monster you select.
  • If you control "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6", it can attack during the turn that you activated "Misfortune".
