Card Rulings:Collected Power
Contents
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. References: [1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] |
- You can move "Snatch Steal" with this card’s effect, and it will affect the newly equipped monster (the controller of "Snatch Steal" gains control of it, and loses control of the previously equipped monster).[1]
- If a "Premature Burial" already equipped to a monster is moved to a new monster by the effect of "Collected Power", both "Premature Burial" and the original monster it was equipped to are destroyed. If you chain "Collected Power" to "Premature Burial", the monster in the Graveyard that was targeted never leaves the Graveyard and "Premature Burial" is destroyed.[1]
- If multiple Union Monsters are going to be equipped to 1 legal target monster by "Collected Power", you select 1 of them and equip it to the target monster, and the other Union Monster Cards are destroyed.[1]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Armed Samurai - Ben Kei: Even if "Armed Samurai Ben Kei" is equipped, attacks twice, and you use "Tailor of the Fickle" to move its Equip Card to another monster, and then use "Collected Power" to move it back, "Armed Samurai Ben Kei" has already attacked twice and gets no additional attacks.
- Ekibyo Drakmord: If control of a monster equipped with "Ekibyo Drakmord" changes, the turn count resets. If "Ekibyo Drakmord" is moved by "Collected Power"...to another monster, the turn count resets.
- Gearfried the Swordmaster: The effect of "Gearfried the Swordmaster" activates when 1 or more Equip Card(s) are equipped to him. So even if "Collected Power" equips several Equip Cards to him simultaneously, you can only destroy 1 monster with his effect.
- Scroll of Bewitchment: If you switch the target of this card with "Collected Power"...you do not select a new Attribute. The newly equipped monster becomes the Attribute that was originally selected when "Scroll of Bewitchment" was activated, even if it is the same as the monster's original Attribute.
Out of Date
- If "Kisetai" [sic] is moved by the effect of "Collected Power" it is destroyed.[1]</ref>[Notes 1]
- Monster Cards equipped to "Sword Hunter" can be moved to another "Sword Hunter", but if they are moved to any other monster they are destroyed.[1][Notes 1]
- Monster Cards equipped to "Relinquished" or "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" can be moved to another "Relinquished [sic] or "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" but if either of these monsters is already equipped with a Monster Card, the new one is destroyed. If these moved to any other monster, the cards are destroyed.[1][Notes 1]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Dark Necrofear: ..."Collected Power" can be used to move "Dark Necrofear" from one monster to another after it is an Equip Spell Card...[Notes 1]
Notes
- ↑ a b c d Version 8.0 of the official rulebook states that monsters treated as Equip Cards (except Union monsters equipped by their own effects) cannot have their equip target changed.
