Mentions in Other Rulings
- Supervise: If you send a monster equipped with “Supervise” to the Graveyard as a Synchro Material Monster for “Black Rose Dragon” you can activate the effect of that Synchro Monster in a Chain with the effect of “Supervise.” The mandatory effect of “Supervise” will be Chain Link 1.
Judge Program Forum Rulings
 | These Ruling(s) have not been confirmed as applicable to the TCG.[Notes 1] |
- If a Synchro Monster with an Optional Trigger Effect like "Black Rose Dragon" or "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" is Synchro Summoned in the middle of a Chain by an effect like "Formula Synchron" (as Chain Link 2 or higher), then the effects of "Black Rose Dragon" or "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" will miss the timing.[1]
- Blue Rose Dragon: If the "Black Rose Dragon" was not properly Synchro Summoned initially, you will not be able to Special Summon it with the effect of "Blue Rose Dragon".
- Example: If the Synchro Summon of "Black Rose Dragon" was negated by "Solemn Judgment", it cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with cards like "Monster Reborn", "Blue Rose Dragon", and "Call of the Haunted".[2]
- Solemn Warning: "Solemn Warning" does not have the same activation timing as Trigger Effects that activate after a monster is Summoned ("Swift Birdman Joe", "Black Rose Dragon", etc) or Trigger Effects that activate when the monster is sent to the Graveyard as a Tribute for a Tribute Summon or used as Synchro Material Monster for a Synchro Summon ("Dandylion", "Reborn Tengu", etc). Those effects do not activate in the middle of the Summon, they must wait until after the Summon is either successful or negated before they can activate.[3]
OCG Rulings
- When this card is Synchro Summoned, its effect also destroys itself.[4][5]
- Removing from play 1 Plant-Type monster is a cost to change a monster to ATK mode and make its ATK 0. This effect targets the opponent's monster.[4]
- If the monster targeted by "Black Rose Dragon"'s effect is changed to Attack Position by "Final Attack Orders", then you do not reduce the monster's ATK to 0.[6]
- After the Monster's ATK has been reduced to 0 by "Black Rose Dragon"'s effect, its ATK may be changed normally.[7]
- Example: If "Rush Recklessly" is later activated, the monster's ATK will be 700.
- You can target a face-down monster with "Black Rose Dragon"'s effect. If the monster has a Flip Effect, then the effect begins a new chain after "Black Rose Dragon"'s effect resolves.[8]
- If "Sangan"/"Goblin Zombie"/etc are used for a Synchro Summon, then their effects are mandatory, and must activate as soon as the Synchro Summon is successful.[9]
- If "Goblin Zombie"/etc is used for the Synchro Summon" of a monster with an optional Trigger Effect like "Black Rose Dragon", then the mandatory effect of "Goblin Zombie" must activate as Chain Link 1 and the effect of "Black Rose Dragon" may be activated as Chain Link 2.[9]
- If a Gemini Monster which is equipped with "Supervise" is used as a Synchro Material Monster for a Synchro Summon, then the mandatory effect of "Supervise" activates as soon as the Synchro Summon is successful.[10]
- If "Black Rose Dragon" is Synchro Summoned, then the optional effect of "Black Rose Dragon" can activate in addition to the effect of "Supervise". The mandatory effect of "Supervise" will be Chain Link 1, and then the optional effect of "Black Rose Dragon" can be activated as Chain Link 2.[10]
- If "Zombie World" or "DNA Surgery", ect, is face-up on the field and makes all monsters on the field Zombie-Type, and the effect of "Archfiend Zombie-Skull" is applied that prevents the Zombie-Type monsters from being destroyed by card effects, then when "Black Rose Dragon" is Synchro Summoned and its effect that destroys all cards on the field is activated, even though "Archfiend Zombie-Skull" and "Zombie World" would be destroyed simultaneously [sic], "Black Rose Dragon" still treated as a Zombie-Type, so it is not destroyed by the effect and remains to the field.[11]
