Card Rulings:Fiber Jar
Contents
OCG Rulings
- The effect of "Fiber Jar" is a Trigger Effect that always activates when "Fiber Jar" is flipped face-up. (It activates even during the Damage Step.)[1]
- The resolution of "Each player shuffles all cards from their hand, field, and Graveyard into the Deck" and the resolution of "then draws 5 cards" are not considered to happen at the same time.[1]
- When the effect of "Fiber Jar" resolves, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monsters on the field are returned to the Extra Deck.[1]
- When the effect of "Fiber Jar" resolves, Token Monsters on the field leave the field and disappear. (They are not returned to the Deck.)[1]
- If "Fiber Jar" is flipped face-up by a Flip Summon and it activates its effect, "Fiber Jar" itself is also returned to the Deck. However, if "Fiber Jar" is flipped face-up by an opponent's attack and it is destroyed by that battle, "Fiber Jar" itself is not returned to the Deck. After the effect of "Fiber Jar" resolves, the "Fiber Jar" that was destroyed by battle is sent to the Graveyard at the end fo the Damage Step.[1]
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: [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] |
- When this card’s effect is activated all cards on the field, in hand, and in the Graveyards are returned to their owner’s Deck. Fusion Monsters and Synchro Monsters in any of these places are returned to the Extra Deck. Cards removed from play remain removed from play.
- When the effect of "Fiber Jar" is activated, "Fiber Jar" itself is united with the Deck, even if it has been attacked and destroyed as a result of battle.
- If the effect of "Fiber Jar" activates during the Battle Phase, it does not end the Battle Phase, although the turn player will have no monsters after the effect resolves.
- If your opponent's "Parasite Paracide" is face-up in your Deck when the effect of "Fiber Jar" is activated, it will remain there. The opponent should cut your Deck with his / her eyes closed after you shuffle to ensure fairness.
- If "Twin-Headed Behemoth" is returned to the Deck by the effect of "Fiber Jar" and its effect has already been used once this Duel, that condition is not reset. If you again draw and Summon your "Twin-Headed Behemoth" you may not activate its effect again.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Big Bang Shot: If a monster is equipped with "Big Bang Shot" and "Fiber Jar" is activated, both "Big Bang Shot" and the equipped monster are shuffled into the Deck, and the equipped monster is not removed from play even though "Big Bang Shot" was removed from the field.
- Book of Moon: If you chain "Book of Moon" to the activation of a Flip Effect Monster's effect, such as "Fiber Jar", "Book of Moon" flips the monster face-down again, but the Flip Effect still resolves as normal.
- D.D. Warrior Lady: When your "D.D. Warrior Lady" attacks your opponent's "Fiber Jar", if you activate her effect then "Fiber Jar" is Step 1 of the chain, because it is mandatory, and "D.D. Warrior Lady" is Step 2 of the chain because it is an optional effect. "D.D. Warrior Lady" removes from play both monsters, and then resolve the effect of "Fiber Jar". "D.D. Warrior Lady" and "Fiber Jar" are not shuffled into the Deck.
- Dark Magician of Chaos: If "Dark Magician of Chaos" attacks a face-down "Fiber Jar" or "Cyber Jar", the Jar is removed from play but its effect is activated.
- Dark Magician of Chaos: When "Fiber Jar" resolves, a "Dark Magician of Chaos" on the field is removed from play instead of returning to the Deck.
- Dark Ruler Ha Des: The effect of "Fiber Jar" will shuffle "Dark Ruler Ha Des" back into your Deck even if "Dark Ruler Ha Des" is in the Graveyard and cannot be Special Summoned.
- Fairy of the Spring: When you add an Equip Spell Card to your hand with "Fairy of the Spring", and the same turn it is returned to the Deck with "Fiber Jar", and you draw it, you can activate it that same turn.
- Gravekeeper's Chief: If "Necrovalley" is on the field, and both players control a "Gravekeeper's Chief", then the Flip Effect of "Fiber Jar" can resolve normally, but if neither, or only 1, player has "Gravekeeper's Chief", then the Flip Effect of "Fiber Jar" disappears.
- Lone Wolf: If you have "Monk Fighter" targeted by "Lone Wolf", the following are examples of monster effects that will NOT be negated because they are not applied to a monster: ... "Fiber Jar" ("Monk Fighter" is shuffled into the Deck)....
- Necrovalley: "Necrovalley" negates any effect that targets a card or cards in the Graveyard. So "Necrovalley" WILL negate the effect of: ... "Fiber Jar"....[Notes 1]
- Pharaoh's Treasure: If a face-up "Pharaoh's Treasure" is in your deck and "Fiber Jar" is activated, shuffle the Deck with "Pharaoh's Treasure" in it; if you draw the "Pharaoh's Treasure" in your new 5-card hand, the effect is activated but because there are no cards in the Graveyard to retrieve, its effect disappears.
- Pharaoh's Treasure: ... In order to apply the effect of "Pharaoh's Treasure", the very last action must have been to draw. You CAN apply "Pharaoh's Treasure's" effect if it is drawn while face-up due to "Pot of Greed", "Fiber Jar", etc.
- Serpentine Princess: If the effect of "Fiber Jar" places "Serpentine Princess" from the field into your Deck, the effect of "Serpentine Princess" is activated and will be applied after the effect of "Fiber Jar" has finished resolving.
- The End of Anubis: "The End of Anubis" WILL NOT negate the effect of ... "Fiber Jar"....
- Winged Kuriboh: If "Winged Kuriboh" is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates and applies for the rest of the turn, even if "Winged Kuriboh" is ... shuffled back into the Deck with "Fiber Jar".
Notes
- ↑ The latest print of "Necrovalley" has Problem-Solving Card Text which states that it negates the effects of cards that move cards in the Graveyard to other locations, regardless of whether or not they target. Despite this effect not targeting, this ruling is correct that it is negated by "Necrovalley".
