Rulings
- The End of Anubis WILL NOT negate the Special Summon of Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End, Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, Dark Necrofear, Soul of Purity and Light, etc. (because these involve costs, not effects, and The End of Anubis cannot negate paying costs). The End of Anubis WILL NOT negate Strike Ninja's effect because removing 2 DARK monsters from the GY is a cost.
- "The End of Anubis" WILL NOT negate Ignition Effects unless it requires the monster to be in the GY when the Ignition Effect is activated (such as "Amazoness Chain-Master").
- The End of Anubis WILL NOT negate the effect of Fiend Comedian, Fiber Jar, or Big Burn.You can chain Call of the Haunted to your opponent's effect that targets a card in the GY or activates in the GY to Special Summon The End of Anubis and negate that effect.
- The End of Anubis negates the Special Summon effect of Premature Burial & Call of the Haunted, but does not negate the effect that destroys the monster when Premature Burial/Call of the Haunted is destroyed.
- While The End of Anubis is on the field, if you Special Summon Gilasaurus, your opponent can't Special Summon.If The End of Anubis is face-up on the field when a flipped Spear Cretin is sent to the GY, then Spear Cretin's effect does not activate. But if The End of Anubis was merely on the field when Spear Cretin was flipped, but is NOT on the field when Spear Cretin is sent to the GY, then Spear Cretin's effect DOES activate when sent to the GY because The End of Anubis is no longer on the field to negate it.
- When Night Assailant is discarded to activate the effect of Tribe-Infecting Virus, and Fiend is named, the effect of Night Assailant is activated after Tribe-Infecting Virus resolves because The End of Anubis is no longer on the field.You cannot send Desrook Archfiend to the GY for its effect while The End of Anubis is on the field, because the effect of Desrook Archfiend targets the destroyed Terrorking Archfiend in the GY.
