"Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins":

OCG Rulings

  • It is not treated as an effect.

[Regarding the effect "● 1+"][1]

[Regarding the effect "● 2+"][1]

  • It does not start a Chain Link and is applied in the Field Zone.

Q&A Rulings

A: While the effect "● 1+" of "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" is being applied, "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" is not destroyed when the effect of "Heavy Storm" or "Demise, King of Armageddon" resolves.[3]

Previously Official Rulings

  • These effects are cumulative. For example, if you have 4 or more "Crystal Beast" monsters in your Spell & Trap Card Zone, this card gets all of these effects except the last one.
  • Only the controller of this card can use these effects.
  • This card’s effect “Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can draw 1 card.” starts a Chain. It can only be used once a turn, even if the number of “Crystal Beast” cards in your Spell & Trap Card Zones becomes less than 4, and then becomes 4 or more again after you have used it in a given turn.

Mentions in Other Rulings

  • Field Barrier: This card only prevents the activation of Field Spell Cards themselves. The effects of a Field Spell Card already on the field (like “Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins”) can still be activated while this card is in play.
