How does LaDD interact with Counter Traps? My guess is that it won't, due to Spell Speeds, but how does this work? Sabre Knight 21:30, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Can you choose to activate LaDD's effect?

Do you get to pick when you can activate its effect says "When a spell or trap card is activated, or the the effect of an effect monster is activate, that activation is negated and the card loses 500 ATK and DEF." So im kinda confused on if you can choose to activate it becase it didnt say you can negate the activation it said negate the activation. So if some one could get back to me on that I would be very happy and alot less confused.

  • In this case, you HAVE to negate it and LaDD loses 500 ATK and DEF. If it said, "you can", you would have a choice, but here, you do not have a choice and you must activate the effect. But if LaDD has less than 500 ATK and DEF, its effect cannot be activated. Bluedog 04:50, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

LaDD and Exodius

If I Send All 5 Pieces Of Exodia to The Graveyard usind Exodius The Ultimate Fobidden Lord's Effect, while an oppenets LaDD is On the Field, Does it Negate The Auto Win? Or Does The Person With Exodius Still Win? Professor X 00:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Note that sending the cards from the Deck to the Graveyard is a Trigger Effect of "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", so "Light and Darkness Dragon" can negate that. But, the actual win condition cannot be negated.

"Light and Darkness Dragon" vs. "Skill Drain"

If I have skill drain out or another card to negate all face up monster effects can I then special summon Ladd because its effect that it can not be special summoned is negated? — This unsigned comment was made by 173.171.218.198 (talkcontribs) 20:19, October 24, 2009

No. "Skill Drain" only negates the effects of monsters that are face-up on the field. When you start trying to Special Summon "Light and Darkness Dragon", "Light and Darkness Dragon" is not on the field, so "Skill Drain" cannot negate its effects.
Moreover, the restriction on Special Summons is not treated as an effect - it is a condition, so nothing can negate it.

Negate your own cards

Does the effect of the LaDD negate your own card's effects???

Yes. --Deus Ex Machina (Talk) 21:16, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

LADD vrs. stardust assault mode who negate who first? — This unsigned comment was made by Zerovirus110 (talkcontribs) 20:56, April 16, 2010

Basically, "Light and Darkness Dragon" wins.
If an effect activates as Chain Link 1, then "Light and Darkness Dragon"'s mandatory effect activates immediately as Chain Link 2. "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" cannot negate the effect on Chain Link 1, since "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" can only negate the effect placed directly beneath it in the Chain. However, "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" can negate the effect of "Light and Darkness Dragon".

LADD vs Machina Fortress

Can Light and Darkness Dragon negate the effect of "drestroy 1 card" by Machina Fortress when it is destroyed by battle?187.144.83.220 05:23, May 5, 2010 (UTC)Volcanic Jax

Yes, it can. --Deus Ex Machina (Talk) 23:50, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Can LADD negate union monsters? — This unsigned comment was made by 68.203.11.38 (talkcontribs) 18:37, May 16, 2010

"Light and Darkness Dragon" can negate the effect which equips a Union Monster to another monster. This is an Effect Monster's effect that activates, so "Light and Darkness Dragon" can negate it.
"Light and Darkness Dragon" cannot negate any effect which the Union Monster gains while equipped. These effects are treated as the effects of Spell Cards (since the Union Monster is currently treated as an Equip Spell Card), and "Light and Darkness Dragon" can't negate the effects of already-face-up Spell Cards.
