Morphtronic Clocken
Nearest-era rulings (Tengu, Sept 2011) — no REDU-specific archive exists.
Card effect (current official text)● While in Attack Position: This card gains 500 ATK for each Morph Counter on it. ● While in Defense Position: Once per turn, you can place 1 Morph Counter on this card. You can Tribute this card to inflict 1000 damage to your opponent for each Morph Counter on it.
Rulings
- Morphtronic Clocken's Defense Position effect to inflict damage cannot be activated if it does not have any Morph Counters.
- While Skill Drain is active, the Attack Position and Defense Position effects of Morphtronic Radion cannot be activated, because the While in Attack Position and While in Defense Position effects are negated.
- If you activate Morphtronic Clocken's effect to gain a Morph Counter and an effect is chained that changes it to Attack Position, it still gains a Morph Counter.
