Forum:Gale ? and more

Does Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind halve the original or the modified attack and defense of the targeted monster?

ie: My opponent has Caius the Shadow Monarch on the field, with the field spell Mystic Plasma Zone also activated, I then summon Gale, when I halve Caius' attack am I cutting his original 2400 thus making it 1200 plus MPZ for a total of 1700 or am I cutting in half his 2900 thus making it 1450?

• I know how a modifier is played after the card's attack is halved, by the rulings page of Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind but gale doesn't say wether it's halving the original or the modified attack and defense.

Gale halves the current attack. See ruling:

"If "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" targets a "Sangan" affected by "Rush Recklessly" (1700 ATK), its ATK will become 850."~-213.123.215.233 15:28, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

• That is in the OCG rulings, I play by the TCG does it work the same way?

Well... "If a monster with 1000 ATK gains 700 ATK from “Rush Recklessly” until the end of the turn, and is then targeted by “Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind”, its ATK is now 850,"

is in the TCG section, if you want~-213.123.215.233 16:21, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
