Card Rulings:Double-Edged Sword Technique
OCG Rulings
- "Double-Edged Sword Technique" targets 2 "Six Samurai" monsters in your Graveyard.[1]
- If during "Double-Edged Sword Technique"'s resolution only 1 "Six Samurai" monster remains in the Graveyard, that monster will still be Special Summoned. During the End Phase that monster will be destroyed and you will take damage equal to its ATK.[2]
- If one of the “Six Samurai” monsters Special Summoned by "Double-Edged Sword Technique"'s effect is equipped with "Legendary Ebon Steed", during the End Phase, the "Legendary Ebon Steed" is destroyed instead of the equipped "Six Samurai" monster, and because that "Six Samurai" monster was not destroyed by "Double-Edged Sword Technique"'s effect its ATK will not be used to calculate the damage.[3]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[4] 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.

- If one of the two selected “Six Samurai” monsters is removed from the Graveyard before “Double-Edged Sword Technique” is resolved, the remaining selected “Six Samurai” monster will still be Special Summoned. When it is destroyed in the End Phase you will only receive damage according to its ATK.
- The effect that destroys the Special Summoned “Six Samurai” monsters and inflicts damage based on their ATK does not begin a Chain.
- Only “Six Samurai” monsters destroyed by “Double-Edged Sword Technique’s” effect in the End Phase will be used to determine the damage inflicted. If one of the “Six Samurai” monsters Special Summoned by “Double-Edged Sword Technique” is equipped with “Legendary Ebon Steed”, the “Legendary Ebon Steed” is destroyed instead, and because the “Six Samurai” monster was not destroyed its ATK will not be used to calculate the damage.
