Unlike card effects, conditions cannot be [[negate]]d.
A '''Condition''' (called '''Rule Effect''' (ルール効果, ''Rūru Kōka'') in the ''[[OCG]]'') is an unofficial term for [[effect]] requirements for [[Effect Monster]]s.
 
 
There are two main types of Conditions: Conditions that are not considered to be an effect, which cannot be negated by cards like "[[Skill Drain]]"; and ''"[[Unclassified Effect|Effects without classification]]"'', monster effects that are similar to [[Continuous Effect]]s, but are applied ''universally'' just like the other main type of Conditions, and can be negated by cards like "Skill Drain".

They are similar to [[Continuous Monster Effect]]s as they do not [[activate]] (start a [[chain]]) when they are applied, so cards that negate activations like "[[Divine Wrath]]" and "[[Debunk]]" cannot be used against them. However unlike Continuous Monster Effects they can be applied while the card is not [[face-up]] on the [[field]], such as in the [[hand]] and [[Graveyard]], or in the case of the "Multiple Tributers", while [[face-down]] on the field as well.
