Dark Lucius LV6
The BKSS ruling
TCG (UDE) ruling states:
"If "Dark Lucius LV6" negates an opponent's monster effect, but is then flipped face-down, you cannot Special Summon "Dark Lucius LV8". However, if "Dark Lucius LV6" negates a monster effect, and is then temporarily removed from play with "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", when it returns to play you can Special Summon "Dark Lucius LV8"."
Why is it BKSS?
Most other rulings state that when a monster is removed from the field (or even flipped face-down) it will not "remember" via what means the monster was summoned, also what the monster has done before (attack/activate effect/targeted by other effects).
A Dark Lucius LV6 that has been banished and returned to the field by the effect of Interdimensional Matter Transporter, shouldn't be able to remember that it had negated a monster effect.
Royal Oppression
The BKSS ruling
TCG ruling states:
"You can Chain the effect of “Royal Oppression” to negate and destroy “Starlight Road.”"
This includes may other effects that may or may not Special Summon monsters during the resolution of their effects. For example, Monster Gate and Macro Cosmos
Why is it BKSS?
The OCG Japanese card text for Royal Oppression states:
- "モンスターの特殊召喚及び、モンスターの特殊召喚を含む効果を無効にし破壊する。".
A more correct English translation would be:
- "The Special Summon of a monster(s) and/or the effect that includes the Special Summon of a monster(s) is negated and destroy those cards."
This implies that the effect of Royal Oppression can be used to negate effects that have a possibility of Special Summoning monsters even if it is not known whether or not monsters will be Special Summoned during the activation of the effect.
Zombie Master
It has been errata'd to better translate the OCG Japanese text.
The BKSS ruling
TCG (UDE) ruling states:
"If you activate “Zombie Master’s” effect, and an effect is chained that removes “Zombie Master” from the field or flips it face-down, the effect disappears and you cannot Special Summon the targeted monster."
Why is it BKSS?
The OCG Japanese card text for Zombie Master states:
- "このカードがフィールド上に表側表示で存在する限り,...".
A more correct English translation would be:
- "As long as this card is face-up on the field,..."
This means that Zombie Master has to be face-up on the field for its effect to resolve properly.
