Card Rulings:Gauntlet Warrior
OCG Rulings
- Tributing "Gauntlet Warrior" is a cost to activate its effect.[1]
- The effect of "Gauntlet Warrior" to increase the ATK of all Warrior-Type monsters can also be activated during the Damage Step,[1][2] but not during or after damage calculation.
- The +500 to ATK and DEF from the effect of "Gauntlet Warrior" lasts until the affect monsters battles. If an affected monster does not battle during the turn in which the effect of "Gauntlet Warrior" was activated, then the increase to ATK and DEF remains during subsequent turns.[3]
- If a monster affected by the effect of "Gauntlet Warrior" is no longer face-up on the field, then the monster is no longer affected.[3]
- You can also Tribute "Gauntlet Warrior" to activate its effect during the Damage Step if "Gauntlet Warrior" is battling. Damage calculation will not be performed, since "Gauntlet Warrior" is no longer on the field. Also, a Replay will not occur, since you are already in the Damage Step.[2]
