TCG Rulings
Upper Deck Entertainment Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[1] 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. References: [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] |
- "Hand Destruction" cannot be activated if either play [sic] has 1 or less cards in their hand and/or remaining in their Deck. If you have "Hand Destruction" and 1 other card in your hand, you cannot activate "Hand Destruction".
If either player has 1 or less cards in their hand when "Hand Destruction" resolves, its effect disappears.[Notes 1] If either player has 1 or less cards remaining in their Deck, they lose the Duel when they are unable to draw a card.
- "Hand Destruction" cannot be activated while "Protector of the Sanctuary" is face-up on the field.
- If "Macro Cosmos" is face-up on the field, "Hand Destruction" can still be activated. The cards sent from the hand to the Graveyard are removed from play instead.
OCG Rulings
- Cannot be activated during the Damage Step.[11]
- If there are not at least two cards in both your hand and your opponent's hand, or if there are not at least two cards in both your Deck and your opponent's Deck, "Hand Destruction" cannot be activated.[11]
- "Each player sends 2 cards from their hand to the Graveyard" and "then draws 2 cards" are not treated as being done at the same time. Also, each player drawing by "then draws 2 cards" is treated as happening at the same time.[11]
- The effect of a monster like "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World" only activates when it is "discarded to the Graveyard" from the hand by a card effect. The effects of "Hand Destruction" and "Veil of Darkness" "send to the Graveyard" the cards—this is not the same as "discard to the Graveyard". Thus, if a monster like "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World" is sent to the Graveyard by these effects, then you cannot activate its effect.[12]
- The first player conducts their Draw Phase during their first turn, but they only cannot conduct their normal draw at the start of that Draw Phase. Therefore, if the effect of the card "Hand Destruction", etc. is activated, it is possible to draw by a card's effect.[13]
- When resolving "Hand Destruction", if the number of cards in either player's hand has become 1 or fewer and so 2 cards cannot be sent to the Graveyard, the resolution of the effect of "Hand Destruction" is not applied. Neither player sends cards from their hand to the Graveyard or draws.[14]
- When resolving "Hand Destruction", even if the number of cards in either player's Deck has become 1 or fewer, the effect is still applied. Because 2 cards must be drawn from the Deck, the player who cannot draw 2 cards loses the Duel.[14]
- Even if the cards that would have been sent to the Graveyard by "Hand Destruction" are banished without being sent to the Graveyard by the effect of "Macro Cosmos", "Banisher of the Light", etc., after that 2 cards are still drawn from the Deck.[15]
- While the effect of "Protector of the Sanctuary" is being applied, neither player can activate "Hand Destruction".[16]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Arkbrave Dragon: If "Arkbrave Dragon" is sent to the Graveyard during the Draw Phase by the effect of "Hand Destruction", etc., its effect will not activate during the Standby Phase of the same turn. If "Arkbrave Dragon" was sent to the Graveyard, its effect can be activated during the Standby Phase of the next turn. (Therefore, even if "Arkbrave Dragon" is sent to the Graveyard during the Draw Phase, its effect cannot be activated during the Standby Phase of this turn, but it can be activated during the Standby Phase of the next turn.)[17]
- Erebus the Underworld Monarch: When resolving the effect of a Tribute Summoned "Erebus the Underworld Monarch", if you have less than 2 "Monarch" Spell/Trap Cards in your hand/Deck (due to "Hand Destruction", etc.), the effect of "Erebus the Underworld Monarch" is not applied. (No "Monarch" Spell/Trap Cards are sent to the Graveyard, and an opponent’s card is not returned to the Deck.)[18]
- Zushin the Sleeping Giant: Even if the "Zushin the Sleeping Giant" that was revealed to activate its effect is sent from your hand to the Graveyard (due to the effect of "Hand Destruction", etc.), the Zushin Counters placed on your monsters are not removed.[19]
Notes
- ↑ The latest print of "Hand Destruction" uses Problem-Solving Card Text, which makes it clear that even if one player cannot discard, the other player still does and then draws.
