Card Rulings:Cold Wave
OCG Rulings
- This is a Spell Card that can be activated only as your first action at the start of the Main Phase 1 of your turn.[1]
- The effect does not target.[1]
- While this effect is being applied, until your next Draw Phase, neither player can activate or Set Spell/Trap Cards, also the effects of Spell/Trap Cards that activate on the field or in the Graveyard cannot be activated.[1]
- The effects of Spell/Trap Cards that are applied without starting a Chain Link, such as those of Continuous Spells that are already face-up in the Spell & Trap Zone, remain applied.[1]
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.
