Rulings

This card can only negate trigger effects which specifically activate when a monster is Special Summoned.

  • It can negate the effects of cards like "Swap Frog", "Armageddon Knight", or "King Tiger Wanghu" (for all 3 examples, this card can only be activated when a monster is Special Summoned).
  • It cannot negate Ignition effects, even if activated with ignition Priority. It can never negate the effect of "Substitoad", "Dark Grepher", nor "D.D. Crow".
  • It cannot negate an effect which activated because a monster was Normal Summoned, even if that monster's effect states "if this card is Normal/Special Summoned".
