Card Rulings:Dark Core
Contents
OCG Rulings
- The monster is removed from play face-up.[1]
- You cannot choose to activate cards/effects like "Dark Core" while "Imperial Iron Wall" is active.[2] If "Imperial Iron Wall" is chained to such an effect/card, then no card is removed from play.[3]
- If your "Elemental Hero Absolute Zero" is under your opponent's control, then when it is removed from play by "Dark Core" etc, it activates as your effect, and you destroy all monsters on your opponent's field. If it is removed from play temporarily with "Interdimensional Matter Transporter"/"Dimensionhole"/etc, then it is considered to be under your opponent's control while removed from play, so it activates as your opponent's effect and destroys all monsters on your field.[4]
- If your "Fortune Lady Light" is removed from play from your opponent's field permanently by an effect like "Dark Core", then you can activate its effect and Special Summon a "Fortune Lady" card from your Deck. If your "Fortune Lady Light" is removed from play from your opponent's field temporarily by an effect like "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" or "Dimensionhole", then your opponent controls "Fortune Lady Light" so they can activate its effect.[5]
Mentions in Οther Rulings
- You do not have to pay costs when activating the effect of a Spell Card which was sent to the Graveyard by "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" because you are not activating the Spell Card - you are activating its effect.[6]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[7] 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.

- Discarding 1 card from your hand is a cost.
- If Ring of Destruction is chained to "Dark Core", and destroys the monster targeted by "Dark Core", then the effect of "Dark Core" disappears.
Mentions in Οther Rulings
- Imperial Iron Wall: While "Imperial Iron Wall" is active, optional effects that would remove card(s) from play cannot be activated, so the effect of... "Dark Core"... cannot be activated.
