Card Rulings:Acid Trap Hole
OCG Rulings
- When your opponent Flip Summons "Man-Eater Bug" and targets your face-down "Hane-Hane", you can chain "Acid Trap Hole" to the effect of "Man-Eater Bug" and target your "Hane-Hane". The effect of "Hane-Hane" cannot interrupt the current Chain, so it does not activate yet. "Acid Trap Hole" will destroy "Hane-Hane", then the effect of "Man-Eater Bug" will resolve without effect - afterwards, the effect of "Hane-Hane" activates.[1]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[2] 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.

- If the monster flipped face-up has an effect that changes its DEF, such as "Enraged Muka Muka", calculate the current DEF, then determine if it will be destroyed or flipped back face-down. So if you had 4 cards in your hand, "Enraged Muka Muka" would not be destroyed.
- If the targeted monster has a Flip Effect, that Effect is activated whether the DEF is greater than 2000 or not. If the DEF of the selected monster is 2000 or less, such as a "Hane-Hane", it can not select itself for its Flip Effect since it is destroyed.
