Card Rulings:Karma Cut
OCG Rulings
- You can target a monster even if your opponent has no monsters with the same name in their Graveyard.[1]
- Discarding 1 card is a cost to activate "Karma Cut".[1]
- This card cannot be activated during the Damage Step.[1]
- The opponent can activate "Karma Cut" even if you control "Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer". Since the effect of "Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer" is being applied, cards with the same name are not banished from the Graveyard and only the targeted monster is banished. If "Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer" is targeted by "Karma Cut", "Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer" is banished and cards with the same name are banished from the Graveyard.[2]
- The name of "Proto Cyber Dragon" becomes "Cyber Dragon" while it is on the field. If "Proto Cyber Dragon" is banished by "Karma Cut", its name is no longer treated as "Cyber Dragon". Therefore, copies of "Cyber Dragon" are not banished from your opponent's Graveyard, and copies of "Proto Cyber Dragon" are banished from your opponent's Graveyard.[3]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[4] 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 "Proto-Cyber Dragon" is removed from play by "Karma Cut", only other "Proto-Cyber Dragon" cards will be removed from play. "Cyber Dragon" is not affected.
- If you target "Harpie Lady 1" with "Karma Cut", any "Harpie Lady", "Harpie Lady 1", "Harpie Lady 2", "Harpie Lady 3", or "Cyber Harpie Lady" cards in the opponent's Graveyard will also be removed from play.
- Discarding a card from your hand is a cost to activate "Karma Cut".
