Card Rulings:Ghostrick Doll
OCG Rulings
- "Ghostrick Doll" can only be Summoned face-up if there is a face-up "Ghostrick" monster on your field.[1]
- The effect "When this card is flipped face-up" always activates when flipped face-up, and is a Trigger Effect that makes a Chain Link. It does not make a Chain Link when applying it during the End Phase.[1]
- During the End Phase, "change all face-up monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position" and "you can Special Summon 1 "Ghostrick" monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position" are not considered to happen simultaneously.[1]
- Changing monsters to face-down Defense Position is performed even if there are no "Ghostrick" monsters in the Deck that can be Special Summoned.[1]
- During the End Phase, if the "Ghostrick Doll" that activated this effect is no longer on the field, this effect is still applied.[1]
- Even during a turn in which the player activated "Pot of Duality" and cannot Special Summon monsters, if "Ghostrick Doll" was flipped its effect activates and makes a Chain Link. In that case, during the End Phase, only the application of "During the End Phase, change as many face-up monsters on the field as possible to face-down Defense Position" is performed. (The application of "then you can Special Summon 1 "Ghostrick" monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position, whose Level is less than or equal to the number of monsters flipped face-down by this effect" cannot be performed.)[2]
- Because Token Monsters cannot exist in face-down Defense Position, if the only face-up monsters on the field during the End Phase are Token Monsters, "During the End Phase, change as many face-up monsters on the field as possible to face-down Defense Position" of "Ghostrick Doll" cannot be applied. In that case, " then you can Special Summon 1 "Ghostrick" monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position, whose Level is less than or equal to the number of monsters flipped face-down by this effect" cannot be applied.[3]
- The monsters changed to face-down Defense Position by "Ghostrick Doll" are all monsters that are face-up on each player's field when the effect of "Ghostrick Doll" applies during the End Phase. Furthermore, even if a monster was not face-up on the field when "Ghostrick Doll" was flipped, if it is face-up on the field when the effect applies during the End Phase, that monster is also changed to face-down Defense Position.[4]
- The effect "When this card is flipped face-up: During the End Phase, change as many face-up monsters on the field as possible to face-down Defense Position, then you can Special Summon 1 "Ghostrick" monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position, whose Level is less than or equal to the number of monsters flipped face-down by this effect" of "Ghostrick Doll" was activated during Main Phase 1, but during the End Phase "Forbidden Chalice" was activated targeting "Ghostrick Doll". Because the effect of "Ghostrick Doll" was already applied when it was flipped and activated during Main Phase 1, even if the effect of "Ghostrick Doll" is negated due the effect of "Forbidden Chalice" activated during the End Phase, "During the End Phase, change as many face-up monsters on the field as possible to face-down Defense Position, then you can Special Summon 1 "Ghostrick" monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position, whose Level is less than or equal to the number of monsters flipped face-down by this effect" is still applied as normal.[5]
