TCG Rulings
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Black-Winged Dragon: If you control Black-Winged Dragon and Prime Material Dragon and an effect that would inflict damage to you is activated, you will gain Life Points instead and no Black Feather Counters will be placed.
- Infernity Reflector: You can activate "Infernity Reflector" even if "Des Wombat" or "Prime Material Dragon" is face-up on the field. You cannot activate it if "Vanity's Fiend" is face-up on the field.
- Nature's Reflection: If "Nature's Reflection" and "Prime Material Dragon" are both in effect and your opponent activates "Sparks," your opponent will gain 200 Life Points.
Judge Program Forum Rulings
 | These Ruling(s) have not been confirmed as applicable to the TCG.[Notes 1] |
- You can activate "Musakani Magatama" or "Prime Material Dragon" to negate the effect of "Time Wizard" as "Time Wizard" is guaranteed to destroy a card.[1]
OCG Rulings
- If "Dian Keto the Cure Master" is activated while both "Prime Material Dragon" and "Bad Reaction to Simochi" are on the field, "Bad Reaction to Simochi" turns the effect into an effect which inflicts damage, but then "Prime Material Dragon" turns the effect into an effect which recovers Life Points. "Dian Keto the Cure Master" will recover 1000 LP.[2]
- If "Ookazi" is activated while both "Prime Material Dragon" and "Bad Reaction to Simochi" are on the field, "Prime Material Dragon" turns the effect into an effect which recovers Life Points, but then "Bad Reaction to Simochi" turns the effect into an effect which deals damage. "Ookazi" will deal 800 damage.[2]
- The effect which turns damage into Life Point recovery is also applied to the opponent.[3]
- During the Damage Step, you can activate the effect which negates the activation of a Spell/Trap/Monster Card's effect.[3]
- "Prime Material Dragon"'s effect can be used to negate the activation of a Continuous Spell/Trap Card's effect which destroys a monster on the field, such as "Blaze Accelerator" or "Skull Lair".[4]
- To activate the effect of "Prime Material Dragon" which negates and destroys, the other effect must directly destroy a monster, and "Prime Material Dragon"'s effect must be directly chained to the other effect.[5]
- Example: "Prime Material Dragon" cannot be chained to "Judgment Dragon"'s effect which sends cards from the deck to the Graveyard (even though "Judgment Dragon"'s effect is being activated, and "Judgment Dragon" has an effect which destroys monsters on the field).[5]
Previously Official Rulings
| These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[6] 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: [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] |
- "Prime Material Dragon's" first effect is a Continuous Effect.
- While "Prime Material Dragon" is face-up on the field, if an effect would inflict damage to both players' Life Points, both players will gain Life Points instead.
- If "The Immortal of Thunder" is sent to the Graveyard, its owner will lose 5000 Life Points because this is not damage. "Prime Material Dragon" cannot change it into a Life Point gain.
- "Prime Material Dragon's" second effect can be activated during any Game Phase, including the Damage Step.
- "Prime Material Dragon's" second effect can be activated when the effect of a Continuous Spell or Trap Card that destroys a monster(s) is activated, like "Blaze Accelerator" or "Skull Lair".
- "Prime Material Dragon's" second effect works like "My Body as a Shield". "Prime Material Dragon" can negate cards such as "Smashing Ground", "Nobleman of Crossout", "Shield Crush", "Thousand Knives", "Trap Hole", "Mirror Force", "Ring of Destruction", "Torrential Tribute", "Bottomless Trap Hole", "Swarm of Scarabs", "Dark Armed Dragon", "Raigeki Break", "XYZ-Dragon Cannon", "Mega Ton Magical Cannon", "Exiled Force" (negates the effect but will not destroy "Exiled Force" as it is already in the Graveyard), "Soul Taker" (negates "Soul Taker" so you do not gain Life Points), "Jowgen the Spiritualist" (when its effect is activated), "Dragon's Gunfire" (if the effect that destroys a monster is selected), or "The Last Warrior from Another Planet" (negates the effect and destroys "The Last Warrior from Another Planet").
- "Prime Material Dragon" can only be used against effects that will destroy monsters at that time.
- For example, you cannot use "Prime Material Dragon's" effect when "Dark Armed Dragon" is Special Summoned; you can only use it in response to the activation of "Dark Armed Dragon's" effect when it targets a monster.
- Also, you cannot use "Prime Material Dragon's" effect against cards whose effects will not destroy a monster right away, so you cannot use "Prime Material Dragon" against "Jigen Bakudan", "Ekibyo Drakmord", "Magical Hats", "Steel Scorpion", Toon Monsters, "Thunder Nyan Nyan", "Gradius' Option", "Summoner of Illusions", "Limiter Removal", "Call of the Haunted", "Premature Burial", or "Autonomous Action Unit".
- You cannot use "Prime Material Dragon's" effect against cards whose effects may or may not destroy a monster right away, such as "Earthshaker", "Barrel Dragon", "Acid Trap Hole", or "Time Wizard".
- You cannot use "Prime Material Dragon's" effect against monsters with Continuous Effects, such as "Kotodama".
- You can activate the second effect of your "Prime Material Dragon" when your opponent activates the second effect of their "Prime Material Dragon".
- When "Judgment Dragon's" effect to destroy all other cards on the field is activated, "Prime Material Dragon's" effect can be chained.
- You cannot chain “Prime Material Dragon's” effect to “Magical Dimension”, since destroying a monster on the field is optional.
- If "Royal Oppression's" effect is activated to negate the Special Summon of a monster, like "Cyber Dragon" or "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus", "Prime Material Dragon's" effect cannot be chained because the monster being Special Summoned is not considered to be "on the field" until its Summon is successful.
- If you attack with "Jirai Gumo" while you have "Prime Material Dragon" face-up on your side of the field, when you call the coin toss wrong you still lose half of your Life Points because losing Life Points in this way is not damage.
- If your opponent activates "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus'" effect and selects to destroy a monster, you can chain "Prime Material Dragon's" effect.
- When "Crush Card Virus" is activated, if there is a face-up monster that would be destroyed you can chain "Prime Material Dragon's" effect.
- If the effect of a Normal Spell Card sent to the Graveyard by "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" will destroy monster(s) on the field, "Prime Material Dragon's" effect can be chained.
