Card Rulings:Winged Kuriboh LV10
Contents
OCG Rulings
- "Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned with "Transcendent Wings" and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways" is not treated as an effect.[1]
- Even if it is sent to the Graveyard after being Special Summoned by the effect of "Transcendent Wings", it cannot be Special Summoned by the effect of "Monster Reborn" etc.[1]
- The monster effect "During your opponent's Battle Phase: You can Tribute this face-up card; destroy all Attack Position monsters your opponent controls and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the combined original ATK of those destroyed monster(s)" is a Quick Effect that can only be activated during your opponent's Battle Phase. (It does not target. Tributing "Winged Kuriboh LV10" itself is a cost to activate this effect. Also, it cannot be activated during the Damage Step.)[1]
- Even if it is sent to the Graveyard after being Special Summoned by the effect of "Transcendent Wings", it cannot be Special Summoned by the effect of "Monster Reborn" etc.[1]
- Applying "destroy all Attack Position monsters your opponent controls" and "inflict damage to your opponent equal to the combined original ATK of those destroyed monster(s)" are treated as being done at the same time.[1]
- If "Level Down!?" is activated, there must be a monster "with the same name but lower "LV"" in your Graveyard, and you must be able to Special Summon that monster. Therefore, if you target "Winged Kuriboh LV10" with "Level Down!?", there must be a "Winged Kuriboh LV9" in your Graveyard. (You cannot Special Summon "Winged Kuriboh" with the effect of "Level Down!?".)[2]
- "Winged Kuriboh LV10" is a Special Summon-only monster that cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "Transcendent Wings". Therefore, it cannot be targeted with the second effect of "Kuribohrn".[3]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Level Modulation: If a "LV" monster cannot be Special Summoned by a specific condition printed in its card text, after it has been properly Special Summoned from the hand once, if it is sent to the Graveyard, it can be Special Summoned by "Level Modulation". "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8", "Armed Dragon LV7", "Winged Kuriboh LV10", etc. sent directly from the hand or Deck to the Graveyard cannot be Special Summoned by the effect of "Level Modulation". Like other Special Summon Monsters, even though "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" etc. is a monster that can only be Special Summoned by a specific method, if it is sent to the Graveyard after it has been properly Special Summoned from the hand once, it can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by the effect "ignoring the Summoning conditions" of "Level Modulation".[4]
- Brain Golem: "Brain Golem" can only negate the effect of a monster which is face-up on the field. When "Winged Kuriboh LV10" Tributes itself to activate its effect, it is no longer face-up on the field, so the effect will not be negated by the effect of "Brain Golem".[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] |
- "Winged Kuriboh LV10" has a Quick Effect. You cannot activate this effect during the Damage Step.
- The Quick Effect of "Winged Kuriboh LV10" can be chained to. You can chain "Barrel Behind the Door" or "My Body as a Shield" to the effect.
- Tributing "Winged Kuriboh LV10" is a cost to activate its effect.
- The "combined original ATK" of the destroyed monsters is calculated after the monsters are destroyed and are no longer on the field. So a destroyed "King of the Skull Servants" would add 0 damage to this effect, and a destroyed "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" that was Summoned without Tribute would add 2800 damage.
- You cannot activate "Level Up!" to send "Winged Kuriboh LV10" to the Graveyard because it does not have a monster's name in its text.
- You may return "Winged Kuriboh LV10" from your Graveyard to your Deck with the effect of "The Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension".
- If an opponent's monster cannot be destroyed by the effect of "Winged Kuriboh LV10", no damage is dealt for that monster's ATK. For example, if "Master Monk" targeted by "Lone Wolf" is on the field, it is unaffected by monster effects, so it will not be destroyed and its 1900 original ATK points will not be inflicted to its controller.
- You can activate the effect of "Winged Kuriboh LV10" if "Skill Drain" is on the field, and its effect will resolve normally and not be negated, because it is no longer a face-up monster on the field.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Transcendent Wings: You can activate "Transcendent Wings" even if there is no "Winged Kuriboh LV10" in your hand or Deck, but you must show your Deck to the opponent if they want to confirm.
LV Monster Rulings
Previously Official Rulings
| These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[16] They were previously considered official, but may or may not necessarily hold true nowadays. |
- If a level monster fulfills its condition to Special Summon the next-highest level (for example, if "Armed Dragon LV5" destroys a monster as a result of battle), and the level monster is then flipped face-down, or removed from play permanently, or sent to the Graveyard and then Special Summoned from the Graveyard, then its condition is reset and it is no longer considered to have met the condition to level up to the next level.[17][18][19][20][21]
- If you don’t have "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" in your hand or Deck, you cannot send "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4" to the Graveyard to activate its effect.[18]
- "If Banisher of the Light" [sic] is in play, you cannot send "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV 4" to the Graveyard, so you cannot activate its effect.[18]
- You don’t have to send "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV 4" to the Graveyard if you don’t want to, even if it destroyed a monster as a result of battle. But if you activate its effect by sending it to the Graveyard, you must Special Summon "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV 6" if possible.[18]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Divine Wrath: You can activate "Divine Wrath" when a "LV" monster is sent to the Graveyard to Special Summon the next level version (an
Ignition Effect[Out of Date 1]), and "Divine Wrath" will negate that effect, even though it cannot destroy the "LV" monster because it is already in the Graveyard.
- Level Down!?: You can use “Level Down!?” on a “Neo-Spacian Dark Panther” that is copying an LV Monster. But since it is no longer copying the LV Monster after it has been returned to the Deck, no monster will be Special Summoned.
- Level Modulation: An “LV” monster that normally cannot be Special Summoned except by the method in its text CANNOT be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with “Level Modulation” unless it has been previously Special Summoned by the correct procedure. The “ignore the Summoning conditions” text allows for these monsters to be Special Summoned only after they have been properly Summoned by their own effect. This applies to “Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8”, “Armed Dragon LV7”, “Silent Swordsman LV7”, “Silent Magician LV8”, and “Winged Kuriboh LV10”.
- Neo-Spacian Dark Panther: If you target an “LV” monster, you could Tribute the “Neo-Spacian Dark Panther” to activate the Spell Card “Level Up!”. It will be in the Graveyard when “Level Up!” resolves, so it will no longer have the copied effect, so there is no monster name to reference and therefore the effect disappears.
Notes
- ↑ Some "LV" monsters have Problem-Solving Card Text, which makes clear that the effect to Special Summon the next "LV" monster is Trigger Effect.
