OCG Rulings

  • This card is a "Red-Eyes" monster.[1]
  • This card's text that states it cannot be Normal Summoned/Set and must first be Special Summoned by Tributing a "Red-Eyes" monster from your hand or field is not an effect. It is the Special Summoning procedure of a Special Summon-only monster. (When Special Summoning this card this way, Tribute 1 other "Red-Eyes" monster in your hand or 1 "Red-Eyes" monster in your Monster Zone. This Special Summon does not start a Chain.)[1]
  • If this card's Special Summon by its own procedure is negated by Solemn Judgment, you cannot Special Summon another "Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon" that turn by this method.[1]
  • If this card is sent to the GY after being Special Summoned by its own procedure, you can then Special Summon it from the GY with a card such as "Monster Reborn".[1]
  • This card's effect that Special Summons a Level 7 or lower "Red-Eyes" monster from your GY is a Trigger Effect. (It targets 1 Level 7 or lower "Red-Eyes" monster in your GY other than "Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon", and can be activated during the Damage Step.)[1]
  • This effect finishes resolving by Special Summoning the targeted monster. (If Red-Eyes B. Dragon is Special Summoned by this effect, its ATK is doubled immediately.)[1]

Q&A Rulings

A: "Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon" is a "Red-Eyes" monster, so you can Tribute one from your hand or field when Special Summoning a different "Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon".[2][3]
A: Both "Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword" and "Red-Eyes Slash Dragon" are Level 7 or lower "Red-Eyes" monsters. However, "Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword" is a monster that cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "The Claw of Hermos", so it cannot be targeted by the effect of "Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon". If "Red-Eyes Slash Dragon" was sent to the GY after being Fusion Summoned, it can then be Special Summoned from the GY by effects such as "Monster Reborn", so it can also be targeted by the effect of "Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon". (It is not possible to target a "Red-Eyes Slash Dragon" that was sent directly from the Extra Deck to the GY.)[4][3]
