TCG Rulings
If you have "[Gravekeeper's Servant]" active on the field while "[Banisher of the Radiance]" is on the field, your opponent cannot declare an attack.[1]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Gadget Hauler: If "Gadget Hauler's" effect is activated while "Banisher of the Radiance" is face-up on the field, the "Morphtronic" monsters are removed from play instead of being sent to the Graveyard, and “Gadget Hauler’s” ATK does not increase.
- Herald of Green Light / Herald of Orange Light / Herald of Purple Light: If "Banisher of the Radiance" or "Macro Cosmos" is face-up on the field, you cannot activate [the "Herald"'s] effect because you cannot send it and another Fairy-Type monster to the Graveyard for the cost.
OCG Rulings
- If "Banisher of the Radiance"/"Macro Cosmos"/etc is active, then you can activate the effect of "Gallis the Star Beast". The top card of your deck will be removed from play instead. Also, if the removed card is a monster, then you still inflict damage and Special Summon "Gallis the Star Beast".[1]
- While an effect like that of "Banisher of the Radiance" or "Macro Cosmos" is active, it is impossible to discard a card to the Graveyard. The activation costs of the effects of "Jowgen the Spiritualist", "Abyss Soldier" and "Return of the Doomed" require you to discard a card to the Graveyard, which is impossible, so you cannot activate their effects. However, the activation costs of effects like "Magic Jammer" only require you to discard a card, so you can activate their effects since the card does not need to be discarded to the Graveyard.[2]
- "At the end of the Damage Step", as mentioned in the text of cards like "Legendary Jujitsu Master", occurs at the same time as "when the monster which is destroyed by battle is sent to the Graveyard". Or, if "Macro Cosmos" or "Banisher of the Radiance" is active, then this occurs at the same time as "when the monster which is destroyed by battle is removed from play".[3]
