  • If "Venom Swamp" is on the field and "Ring of Magnetism" is equipped to a monster, then the monster is considered to have its ATK reduced to 0 by "Ring of Magnetism".
  • If "Ring of Magnetism" is equipped to a monster and afterwards "Venom Swamp" is activated, then the monster is considered to have its ATK reduced to 0 by "Venom Swamp". Therefore, the monster is destroyed by "Venom Swamp".

• The effect of "Reptilianne Scylla" can only be activated if the destroyed monster had 0 ATK during Damage Calculation.
  • Example #1: If the monster had 0 Original ATK but had its ATK increased by a Field Spell Card, then its ATK was not 0 during Damage Calculation, so it cannot be Special Summoned by the effect of "Reptilianne Scylla".
  • Example #2: If a monster had 500 Original ATK and was equipped with "Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce" so that it had 0 ATK, then its ATK was 0 during Damage Calculation, so it can be Special Summoned by the effect of "Reptilianne Scylla" even though it has 500 ATK while in the Graveyard.
