Card Rulings:Decayed Commander
OCG Rulings
- The effect of "Decayed Commander" only activates when it is Normal Summoned. It does not activate when "Decayed Commander" is Special Summoned/Flip Summoned/Set/etc.[1]
- The effect of "Decayed Commander" does not activate if "Decayed Commander" declares a Direct Attack but inflicts no Battle Damage. The effect also does not activate when the Battle Damage is reduced to 0, because this is not treated as a successful Direct Attack.[1]
- The effect of "Zombie Tiger" which equips it to "Decayed Commander" starts a Chain.[2]
Previously Official Rulings
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[3] 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.

- "Decayed Commander"'s card-discarding effect only activates when "Decayed Commander" attacks directly AND deals 1 or more points of Battle Damage to the opponent, so if the opponent uses "Kuriboh" or "Waboku" then "Decayed Commander"'s effect does not activate.
- "Decayed Commander" does not activate its card-discarding effect if destroyed with "Ring of Destruction", or if it attacks a face-down monster while equipped with "Fairy Meteor Crush", or due to reflect damage from "Relinquished", etc.
