Card Rulings:Treeborn Frog
- If you Special Summon "Treeborn Frog" during your Standby Phase, then it's sent to the Graveyard during that same Standby Phase (like if it's Tributed for "Enemy Controller"), you can Special Summon "Treeborn Frog" again that same Standby Phase.
- If you start your Standby Phase with "Messenger of Peace" face-up on the field, you can choose not to pay the maintenance cost so it is destroyed, then Special Summon "Treeborn Frog".
- If you have 2 or more "Treeborn Frogs" in your Graveyard, you can activate and resolve the effect of 1, but then you cannot activate and resolve the effect of the 2nd one because you now have a face-up "Treeborn Frog" on the field.
- "Necrovalley" will not negate the effect of "Treeborn Frog".
- If an effect is chained to "Treeborn Frog" that puts a Spell or Trap Card on your side of field, then "Treeborn Frog's" effect will not resolve. Example: The opponent controls your "Embodiment of Apophis" and activates "Remove Brainwashing".
- If the effect of "Treeborn Frog" is negated, you can activate its effect again during the same Standby Phase and Special Summon it.
- If "King Tiger Wanghu" is on the field when "Treeborn Frog" is Special Summoned, "Treeborn Frog" will be destroyed, but can be Special Summoned again with its effect during the same Standby Phase. Doing so without purpose is considered stalling and is a violation of Tournament Policy.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Light and Darkness Dragon: When “Light and Darkness Dragon” negates the activation of a Spell, Trap, or effect of an Effect Monster that can only be activated once per turn (“Blowback Dragon”, etc.), the Spell, Trap, or effect of the Effect Monster cannot be activated again because the Spell, Trap, or effect of the Effect Monster is treated as having been activated during that turn. If the effect of the Effect Monster can be activated multiple times during the same turn (“Treeborn Frog”, etc.), the effect of the Effect Monster can be activated again.
OCG Rulings
- Even if this card's special summon would be negate once, during the next Standby Phase, this card can still activate its effect (NOT during the same turn).
