Card Rulings:Eternal Soul

OCG Rulings

  • This card cannot be activated during the Damage Step. (It can be activated at any time, except during the Damage Step.)[1]
  • The "You can activate 1 of these effects;" effect starts a Chain Link. (It can be activated at the same time in which this card is activated. It does not target. You choose 1 "●" when you activate this effect. It cannot be activated during the Damage Step.)[1]
  • The "If this face-up card leaves the field: Destroy all monsters you control." effect starts a Chain Link. (It does not target. It destroys all monsters you control, including face-down Defense Position monsters. It is a mandatory effect. It activates during the Damage Step and even if you control no monsters.)[1]
  • Since this effect is treated as the effect of a Trap Card, monsters that are unaffected by the effect of Trap Cards by the effect of "Forbidden Lance" are not destroyed.[4]
