Card Rulings:Cyber Dinosaur

TCG Rulings
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Swallow Flip: Similar to "Pulling the Rug," “Swallow Flip” can be activated when the effect of a monster on the field activates due to a different monster being Special Summoned. For example, it can negate and destroy "King Tiger Wanghu” on the field, or “Cyber Dinosaur” when its effect activates from the hand.
OCG Rulings
- If your opponent as the turn player Special Summons "Cyber Dragon" from their hand, since "Cyber Dragon" doesn't have an effect that activates when it is Special Summoned and there is no other face-up card whose effect must be considered in this scenario, if both players want to activate a card effect when it is Special Summoned (Set Quick-Play Spell Card or Trap Card, or activating a monster effect from the hand), they must do it in order starting from the turn player. So, if your opponent as the turn player Special Summons "Cyber Dragon" from their hand and activate "Torrential Tribute" as Chain Link 1, if you want to activate the effect of "Cyber Dinosaur", you must activate it by Chaining it to "Torrential Tribute".[1]

Out of Date
- "Cyber Dinosaur's" effect is a Quick Effect.[Notes 1]
Notes
- ↑ This card's latest errata has PSCT, yet does not state "During either player's turn" or "(this is a Quick Effect)," thus rendering it a Trigger Effect.
