Card Rulings:Disciple of the Forbidden Spell
OCG Rulings
- The monster effect "When this card is Summoned, declare different Monster Card Attributes equal to the number of "Disciple of the Forbidden Spell"(s) in your Graveyard" is a Trigger Effect that is always activated when "Disciple of the Forbidden Spell" is successfully Normal, Flip, or Special Summoned.[1]
- When this effect resolves, declare a number of Attributes equal to the number of "Disciple of the Forbidden Spell"(s) in your Graveyard. (If there are 2 "Disciple of the Forbidden Spell"(s) in your Graveyard and you declare 2 Attributes, you cannot declare the same Attribute twice.)[1]
- The monster effect "If this card attacks a monster that has a declared Attribute, destroy the monster with this card's effect without applying damage calculation" is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target.)[1]
- If a monster of an Attribute declared by the monster effect activated when "Disciple of the Forbidden Spell" was Normal, Flip, or Special Summoned is attacked, the effect is activated at the start of that Damage Step. (If the opponent's monster is in face-down Defense Position, this effect does not activate.)[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.

- Choosing Attributes is a Trigger Effect that activates when “Disciple of the Forbidden Spell” is Summoned. Your opponent could chain “Disappear” to remove from play 1 “Disciple of the Forbidden Spell” in the Graveyard and you would choose 1 less Attribute.
- If “Chain Destruction” is chained to the Trigger Effect when “Disciple of the Forbidden Spell” is Summoned, “Chain Destruction” will resolve first, so all your copies of “Disciple of the Forbidden Spell” will be in the Graveyard, and you choose a number of Attributes equal to the new amount.
- If you have 2 copies of this card in the Graveyard when you Summon it, you must choose 2 different Attributes.
- The effect of “Disciple of the Forbidden Spell” is activated at the start of the Damage Step, before the attacked monster is flipped face-up. If this card attacks a face-down monster, it will not be destroyed by this effect, even if it is revealed to have 1 of the chosen Attributes.
