Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[2] 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.

- The effect of “Amazoness Chain Master” is optional. You choose whether or not to activate it when this monster is destroyed as a result of battle and sent to the Graveyard.
- Here’s the proper sequence for “Amazoness Chain Master”:
- 1. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard as a result of battle, choose to activate its effect or not.
- 2. If you choose to activate the effect, pay 1500 Life Points and activate it. Then see if your opponent wants to chain to the effect.
- 3. After the chain is resolved (if any), resolve the effect.
- 3A. Look at your opponent’s hand and choose 1 Monster Card. If there are no Monster Cards, the effect disappears.
- 3B. Add the Monster Card you chose to your hand. Now you can use it like your monster.
- If you get your opponent’s monster with “Amazoness Chain Master” and it’s placed on the field, and later returned to the hand with “Penguin Soldier”, it returns to the original owner’s hand.
- You cannot activate the effect of “Amazoness Chain Master” if your opponent has no hand.
- If you have your opponent’s monster that you acquired with “Amazoness Chain Master”, and your opponent activates “Disturbance Strategy”, the monster returns to the owner’s Deck. However, you draw the same number of cards that you had in your hand, including 1 card for the monster you acquired with “Amazoness Chain Master”.
- If you acquired your opponent’s monster with “Amazoness Chain Master”, and “Remove Brainwashing” is activated, the monster returns to the original owner if it is on the field. However, if it’s still in your hand then it is not returned.
- If you acquire your opponent’s monster with “Amazoness Chain Master” and your opponent uses “Lightforce Sword” on it, it returns to your hand (not the owner’s hand) after the effect of “Lightforce Sword” expires.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- The End of Anubis: "The End of Anubis" WILL NOT negate Ignition Effects unless it requires the monster to be in the Graveyard when the Ignition Effect is activated (such as "Amazoness Chain Master").
