- If "Dora of Fate" targeted a Level 5 monster, and during your next turn, "Double Summon" is activated and you Normal Summon 2 Level 4 monsters, the effect of "Dora of Fate" is not applied twice.

Previously Official Rulings
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[3] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.
