Tengu format ruling
Imperial Order
Card effect (current official text)Negate all Spell effects on the field. Once per turn, during the Standby Phase, you must pay 700 LP (this is not optional), or this card is destroyed.
Rulings
- If you chain Imperial Order when a Spell Card is activated, Imperial Order will resolve first and negate the Spell Card.
- If you activate Imperial Order while Equip Spell Cards are equipped to monsters, the Equip Spell Cards remain equipped to the monsters but their effects are negated.
- Imperial Order cannot be activated in the Damage Step, so you cannot activate it to negate Rush Recklessly, etc. in the Damage Step.
- Spell Cards can still be activated while Imperial Order is active, but their effects are negated.
