Card Rulings:Vendread Striges
OCG Rulings
- The effect that Special Summons this card from the Graveyard is a Trigger Effect that activates in the Graveyard. (It does not target. Revealing a “Vendread” card in your hand is the cost to activate this effect. It can be activated during the Damage Step.)[1]
- Banishing this card after it was Special Summoned by its own effect does not start a Chain. (This can also be applied during the Damage Step.)[1]
- The effect of this card that grants an additional effect to a “Vendread” Ritual Monster that used this card for its Ritual Summon is not classified as an Ignition, Trigger, Quick, or Continuous Effect. (It does not target. The “Vendread” monster that was Ritual Summoned using this card will gain the “●” effect. It is not an effect activated by Vendread Striges itself.)[1]
- The “●” effect gained by the “Vendread” monster that was Ritual Summoned using this card is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target. Drawing a card and discarding a card do not happen simultaneously.)[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: A "Vendread Battlelord" is in face-up Attack Position on my opponent’s field. In this situation, when my "Revendread Slayer" that was Ritual Summoned using "Vendread Striges" battles that "Vendread Battlelord", I activate the effect of "Revendread Slayer" during damage calculation that increases its ATK by 300, and the result is that both monsters with the same ATK are destroyed by battle. In this case, can I activate the effect of "Revendread Slayer" that it gained from "Vendread Striges", that draws and discards a card?
- A: In this scenario, even if the monster that gained the effect from "Vendread Striges" is destroyed by battle, you can activate and resolve the effect that draws and discards a card normally.[2]
