Card Rulings:Backs to the Wall
OCG Rulings
- It cannot be activated during the Damage Step.[1]
- When the player's LP is 100 or less, "Backs to the Wall" cannot be activated. Also, when there are no appropriate "Six Samurai" monsters in the player's Graveyard to Special Summon, "Backs to the Wall" cannot be activated.[1]
- Monsters Special Summoned by the effect of "Backs to the Wall" must be "Six Samurai" monsters in your Graveyard that do not have the same name as a card(s) on the field. For example, if there is already a face-up "The Six Samurai - Irou" in the opponent's Monster Zone, "The Six Samurai - Irou" cannot be Special Summoned by the effect of "Backs to the Wall". (You can Special Summon other appropriate "Six Samurai" monsters in your Graveyard, but if "The Six Samurai - Irou" is the only monster in your Graveyard, "Backs to the Wall" cannot be activated.)[2]
