TCG Rulings

• "Widespread Dud" targets the 2 face-up monsters.

• The effect to destroy the targeted monsters does not start a Chain.

• If "Enemy Controller" is Chained to "Widespread Dud" and shifts one of the targeted monsters to face-up Defense Position, "Widespread Dud" will still resolve normally. Even if one of the targeted monsters is changed to Defense Position after "Widespread Dud" resolves it will still be affected by "Widespread Dud."

• If "Book of Moon" is Chained to "Widespread Dud" and flips one of the targeted monsters face-down, only the other one will continue to be targeted.

• After "Widespread Dud" resolves, when one of the targeted monsters is removed from the field "Widespread Dud" is destroyed and the other monster is destroyed.

OCG Rulings

• The effect of "Widespread Dud" targets two face-up Attack Position monsters on the field.

• When "Widespread Dud" is removed from the field, its effect to destroy the targeted monsters does not start a Chain Link.

• If "Widespread Dud" is activated and an effect like "Enemy Controller" or "Zero Gravity" is Chained so that a targeted monster(s) is in face-up Defense Position when "Widespread Dud" resolves, then the effect of "Widespread Dud" will still be applied, and will still continuously target those monsters. Also, if "Widespread Dud" has resolved and afterwards an effect changes one of the targeted monsters to face-up Defense Position, then the effect of "Widespread Dud" will still be applied, and will still continuously target those monsters.

• If "Widespread Dud" is activated and an effect like "Book of Moon" or "Compulsory Evacuation Device" is Chained so that one of the targeted monsters is not face-up on the field when "Widespread Dud" resolves, then only the monster which is still on the field will remain targeted by "Widespread Dud". If that monster is removed from the field, then "Widespread Dud" is destroyed.

• If "Widespread Dud" targets two monsters and only one of them is removed from the field, then "Widespread Dud" is still destroyed. Afterwards, the remaining monster which was targeted by "Widespread Dud" is destroyed.
