Card Rulings:Destruct Potion
TCG Rulings
- If your opponent takes control of the targeted monster, it is still destroyed and you gain Life Points.[1]
- Destroying the monster and gaining Life Points happen at the same time.[1]
- You gain Life Points equal to the monster's ATK on the field. If you target a face-down monster you gain no Life Points.[1]
OCG Rulings
- The effect of "Destruct Potion" targets one monster on your side of the field.[2]
- The amount of Life Points recovered by "Destruct Potion" is equal to the ATK of the monster while it is on the field.[3]
- If "Destruct Potion" targets a face-down monster, then you cannot verify the monster's ATK when the monster is destroyed, so you cannot recover Life Points.[3]
- The effect of "Destruct Potion" which destroys the monster and the effect which recovers Life Points are treated as resolving simultaneously.[4]
- Example: If "Archfiend of Gilfer" is destroyed by "Destruct Potion", then you can equip "Archfiend of Gilfer" to a monster on the field.[4]
