Card Rulings:Granmarg the Rock Monarch
OCG Rulings
- The effect of "Granmarg the Rock Monarch" is a mandatory Trigger Effect that is activated when it is Tribute Summoned face-up.[1]
- Even if there are no Set cards on the field, this effect still activates and starts a Chain Link. (Since no card was targeted, the effect is not applied.)[1]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[3] 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: [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] |
- As with most targeting effects that have specific conditions, if the targeted card is flipped face-up in a chain (for example, if it is a monster and "Ceasefire" is activated, or if it is a Trap Card and is chained to the effect of "Granmarg the Rock Monarch"), then the effect of "Granmarg the Rock Monarch" disappears.
- The effect of "Granmarg the Rock Monarch" is an effect that targets. You select the targets when you activate the effect.
Judge List Rulings
- "Monarch's" effects activate at the time they are successfully Tribute Summoned. Their effects are Spell Speed 1. If the opponent wants to activate a card like "Bottomless Trap Hole", it will be placed onto the Chain with the "Monarch's" effect. But "Monarchs" don't need to remain on the field to resolve their effects, so destroying them with "Bottomless Trap Hole" will not negate their effect.[2]
