TCG Rulings
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Tuner Capture: You cannot use “Tuner Capture” on monsters that were treated as Tuners because of “Lightwave Tuning” or similar effects, as they are no longer considered Tuners in the Graveyard.
OCG Rulings
- When "Neo-Spacian Dark Panther" or "Phantom of Chaos" has its name changed to "Junk Synchron", you can only use it as a Synchro Material Monster for "Junk Warrior" if it becomes a Tuner monster with "Lightwave Tuning".[2]
- The effect of "Tuner Capture" targets one Tuner Monster in your opponent's Graveyard that was used as a Synchro Material Monster. If the monster is no longer a Tuner Monster while in the Graveyard - for example, "Lightwave Tuning" was used - then "Tuner Capture" cannot be activated.[3]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[4] 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.

- If a LIGHT Union monster is also treated as a Tuner monster with "Lightwave Tuning", when the Union monster is equipped to another monster it is no longer treated as a Tuner monster. If it is Special Summoned during the same turn, it is still not treated as a Tuner monster.
