Card Rulings:Dark Bribe
TCG Rulings[1]
- You cannot activate "Dark Bribe" if your opponent has no cards remaining in his/her Deck.
- If your opponent activates a Spell or Trap Card outside of his/her Draw Phase (Chain Link 1) and you negate its activation and effect with "Dark Bribe" (Chain Link 2), after your opponent draws a card with the effect of "Dark Bribe" you can activate (flip face-up) "Appropriate", because the activation of your opponent's Spell or Trap Card is negated by "Dark Bribe".
OCG Rulings
- "Dark Bribe" cannot be activated when your opponent has no deck.[3]
- Drawing 1 card and negating the activation/effect of the Spell/Trap Card and destroying it are considered to occur simultaneously at resolution.[4]
- When you activate "Dark Bribe" as Chain Link 2, "Dark Bribe" negates the activation of the Spell/Trap Card and destroys it, and your opponent draws 1 card. Chain Link 1 does not resolve because its activation was negated, so when the Chain finishes resolving the timing is "your opponent drawing a card". At this time, you can activate "Appropriate".[5]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- While "Splendid Venus" is on the field, you cannot activate cards like "Magic Jammer" which negate the activation and effect of a Spell/Trap Card.[6]
- When your opponent activates "Magic Jammer" at Chain Link 2 while controlling "Bountiful Artemis", "Magic Jammer" negates the activation of the Spell Card and destroys it, and "Bountiful Artemis" allows him to draw. Chain Link 1 does not resolve because its activation was negated, so when the Chain finishes resolving the timing is "your opponent drawing a card". At this time, you can activate "Appropriate".[7]
