Card Rulings:Red-Eyes Wyvern
OCG Rulings
- The effect of "Red-Eyes Wyvern" is a Trigger Effect that is activated from the Graveyard.[1]
- Banishing "Red-Eyes Wyvern" is a cost to activate this effect.[1]
- During the End Phase of a turn in which you have not Normal Summoned/Set a monster, if "Red-Eyes Wyvern" is discarded to the Graveyard because you had more cards than your hand size limit, the effect of "Red-Eyes Wyvern" cannot be activated.[1]
- If you did not Normal Summon or Set during this turn because you could not - for example, "Hidden Armory" was activated - then it is still treated as you not Normal Summoning or Setting during this turn, so you can activate the effect of "Red-Eyes Wyvern" during the End Phase.[2]
- If your Normal Summon or Set was negated by "Solemn Judgment" or "Forced Back", then it is still considered that you Normal Summoned or Set during this turn, so you cannot activate the effect of "Red-Eyes Wyvern" during the End Phase.[3]
- The effect of your "Red-Eyes Wyvern" can only be activated if you did not Normal Summon or Set during your turn. If the opponent Normal Summoned or Set during your turn by "Ultimate Offering" and you did not Normal Summon or Set, then you can activate the effect of "Red-Eyes Wyvern" during the End Phase.[4]
TCG Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Konami before the introduction of Problem-Solving Card Text. Since the introduction of the new text structure, individual card rulings for the TCG are no longer issued or actively maintained.[5] They have never been formally overturned as a whole and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules and do not contradict card text. |

Rules posted online will be limited to super-complicated and really weird situations. Imagine going down to a dozen pages of card rules, instead of a thousand. It could happen.
