OCG Rulings
- If "Imperial Order" is removed from the field and "Venom Swamp" and "Ring of Magnetism" simultaneously reduce a monster's ATK to 0, then whichever card was played last is considered to be the card which reduces the monster's ATK to 0.[2]
- 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".[2]
- 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".[2]
