Card Rulings:Goblin of Greed

OCG Rulings
Mentions in Other Rulings
- The Tricky: "The Tricky" is not a Special Summon monster. Despite being a monster that can be Normal Summoned, it is a monster that can also be Special Summoned by performing the procedure of discarding 1 card from the hand. In other words, Special Summoning "The Tricky" from the hand by discarding 1 card from the hand does not start a Chain, and is not an effect that activates. Therefore, even if "Goblin of Greed" is applying its effect that prevents effects from being activated by discarding cards, "The Tricky" can be Special Summoned by the method described in its text.[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.

- "Goblin of Greed" prevents discarding as a cost, but not as part of an effect. So "Goblin of Greed" will stop "Kuriboh", but not "Mirage of Nightmare" or "Graceful Charity".
- If your opponent activates an effect and discards as a cost, and you chain "Call of the Haunted" to Special Summon "Goblin of Greed", he doesn't stop the effect because the cost was already paid.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou: Sending 1 card to the Graveyard is a cost. This is not "discarding"...and you can pay the cost even if "Goblin of Greed" is in play.
