OCG Rulings
- Even during the Damage Step, when this card that is treated as an Equip Card leaves the field, its effect to destroy 1 card on the field will activate.[1]
- If "Blast with Chain" activates as Chain Link 2 or higher and is equipped to "Gearfried the Iron Knight", then "Blast with Chain"'s effect will activate after "Gearfried the Iron Knight"'s effect resolves.[2]
- You can equip a Trap Card to an opponent's monster, but only if the Trap Card does not specify "your monster". So, you can equip "Metalmorph" to an opponent's monster because it does not specify otherwise, but you cannot equip "Blast with Chain" nor "Kunai with Chain" to an opponent's monster because these cards specify "your monster".[3]
- When "Blast with Chain" is destroyed by an effect, you can destroy any card on the field regardless of whether it is a Spell/Trap/Monster Card or whether it is face-up or face-down.[4]
- Normally, for Normal Trap Cards and Counter Trap Cards, after they are activated and resolve they are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. Continuous Trap Cards with the "Continuous" icon and Trap Cards like "Metalmorph" and "Blast with Chain" which equip themselves to monsters remain face-up on the field after activation.[5]
- The following cards from before Magic Ruler was released on April 20, 2000 do not have the "Continuous" icon, but during the Duel they are still treated as Continuous Trap Cards: "Ultimate Offering", "Royal Decree", "Magical Thorn", "Robbin' Goblin", "Dragon Capture Jar", and "Call of Darkness".[5]
- If you activate a card that does not remain on the field after activation like a Normal/Quick-Play Spell Card or a Normal Trap Card, then you cannot Chain the effect of "Mist Valley Thunder Lord" and target the activated card. However, cards like "Swords of Revealing Light" and "Blast with Chain" remain on the field after activation, so you may target them with the effect of "Mist Valley Thunder Lord". If "Swords of Revealing Light" is returned to your hand, then all the opponent's monster are flipped face-up, but the effect of not being able to attack is not applied.[6]
- If you activate "Fake Feather" and target "Blast with Chain" or "Metalmorph", then the effect will resolve, but "Fake Feather" will not remain on the field equipped to the target monster.[7]
- You cannot activate the effect of "Junk Collector" by removing from play card like "Metalmorph" or "Blast with Chain". You can activate the effect by removing from play "Kunai with Chain", but you can only apply the effect which changes an attacking monster to Defense Position when an opponent's monster declares an attack. You cannot apply the effect which equips it to a monster on your side of the field.[8]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[10] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise. References: [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] |
- This card targets 1 monster.
- If you use "Emergency Provisions", it sends Spell & Trap Cards to the Graveyard, it does not destroy them, so if you send this card to the Graveyard with "Emergency Provisions", this card's effect will not be activated. The same applies to "Woodland Sprite".
- If you equip this card to "Gearfried the Iron Knight", then this card's effect will be activated because it was destroyed by a card effect.
- When this card is negated by "Solemn Judgment" or "7 Tools of the Bandit" [sic], this card is negated and destroyed and the effect does NOT activate.
- You can activate this card during the Damage Step because it specifically modifies ATK.
- You cannot target "Tyrant Dragon" with this card and if you attempt to, then this card is negated and destroyed, and you do NOT get the effect of this card.
- If a monster attacks "Gearfried the Iron Knight", and you activate "Blast with Chain" during the Damage Step, "Blast with Chain" is destroyed and gets its effect, so you can destroy the attacking monster before Damage Calculation.
- If your opponent activates "Mystical Space Typhoon" targeting your face-down "Blast with Chain", and you chain "Blast with Chain", you still get "Blast with Chain's" effect.
- If this card is destroyed in the middle of a resolving chain, its effect will start a new chain after current one resolves.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- 8-Claws Scorpion: The ATK of "8-Claws Scorpion" becomes 2400 during damage calculation. You cannot chain ... "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 ... "Blast with Chain" ... cannot or will not be activated.
Judge List Rulings
- When "Blast with Chain" becomes an Equip Card it is still treated as a Trap Card, so "Jinzo", ect, will negate its effect.[9]
- If "Blast with Chain" is equipped to "Elemental Hero Wildheart", "Elemental Hero Wildheart's" ATK will not be increased.[9]
