Previously Official Rulings
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[2] 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.

- You can only activate this card’s effect once per turn. Even if “Anteatereatingant” can attack multiple times because it’s equipped with “Twin Swords of Flashing Light – Tryce”, it can only give up its potential to attack once.
- The effect of “Anteatereatingant” targets 1 Spell or Trap Card.
- You can send a Field Spell Card to the Graveyard as part of the cost to Special Summon “Anteatereatingant”. You can also use a Monster Card treated as an Equip Card, such as a Union Monster or a monster equipped to “Relinquished [sic].
- If you attack with “Anteatereatingant” and the attack is negated with “Negate Attack”, or a replay happens and you decide not to attack again, “Anteatereatingant” is still considered to have declared an attack. So you cannot activate its effect during Main Phase 2.
- If you activate the effect of “Anteatereatingant”, then activate “Skill Drain”, “Anteatereatingant” still can’t attack that turn. (Even if “Skill Drain” was chained to the effect.)
- You CAN activate the effect of “Anteatereatingant”, flip it face-down with a card effect, then Flip Summon it, and either activate its effect again or attack. This is because flipping it face-down resets its effect. (Also, if it’s temporarily removed from play, its effect will also reset.)
- If the targeted Spell or Trap Card is removed from the field in a chain to this card’s effect, you still cannot use its effect again or attack that turn. If a targeted Spell Card is not destroyed because of a counter from “Magic Reflector”, you still cannot use this card’s effect again or attack that turn.

- Ancient Gear Drill: “You cannot use that Spell Card this turn” means that you cannot activate it, and you cannot use it to pay a cost for Summoning “Anteatereatingant” ...[Notes 1]
Notes
- ↑ The latest errata of "Ancient Gear Drill" only states that the Spell Card cannot be activated, not that it cannot be used.
