Mentions in Other Rulings

• 8-Claws Scorpion The ATK of "8-Claws Scorpion" becomes 2400 during damage calculation. You cannot chain "Rush Recklessly" or "Blast with Chain" to this effect. If these cards were activated before damage calculation, then the ATK of "8-Claws Scorpion" becomes 2400 during damage calculation so those cards have no effect on its ATK.

• Emergency Provisions If you send "Smoke Grenade of the Thief" or "Blast with Chain" to the Graveyard for the cost of "Emergency Provisions" their effects do not activate, because they were not destroyed.

• Gearfried the Swordmaster The effect of "Gearfried the Swordmaster" will activate even if a Trap Card is equipped to him (such as "Metalmorph" or "Blast with Chain").

• Whirlwind Weasel After "Whirlwind Weasel's" Flip Effect has resolved, the effects of already face-up Spell and Trap Cards, like "Ultimate Offering", can still be activated. The effects of Spell and Trap Cards that activate when the card is destroyed, such as "Blast with Chain" or "Ojamagic" will also still be activated. (In other words, you cannot activate a card, but you can activate an effect.)

• Woodland Sprite An Equip Spell Card sent to the Graveyard by this card's effect is not "destroyed". So the effects of "Butterfly Dagger - Elma", "Axe of Despair", "Malevolent Nuzzler", "Blast with Chain", or "Smoke Grenade of the Thief" cannot or will not be activated.
