Card Rulings:Judgment of Anubis
Contents
OCG Rulings
- The effect does not target. You can activate "Judgment of Anubis" when your opponent controls no monsters.[1]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- If the effect of "Great Shogun Shien" is applied, when "Magic Jammer"/"Seven Tools of the Bandit"/etc negates the activation of a Spell/Trap Card, the opponent can activate one more Spell/Trap Card.[2]
- While "Splendid Venus" is on the field, you cannot activate cards like "Magic Jammer" which negate the activation and effect of a Spell/Trap Card.[3]
- If your opponent activates "Magic Jammer" at Chain Link 2 while controlling "Bountiful Artemis", after resolving the chain, the last event to occur is the resolution of "Magic Jammer" and the drawing from "Bountiful Artemis". At this time, you can activate "Appropriate".[4]
Previously Official Rulings
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[5] 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.

- You can activate "Judgment of Anubis" when there are no monsters on your opponent's side of the field.
- When you activate "Judgment of Anubis", you destroy your opponent's monster after the activation and the effect of the Spell Card is negated. This means that the monster-destroying effect of "Judgment of Anubis" does not target.
- You can activate "Judgment of Anubis" and select a Spell Card that destroys only a Spell Card (like "De-Spell") or only a Trap Card (like "Remove Trap") or could destroy both (like "Mystical Space Typhoon") or many (like "Heavy Storm").
- You can activate "Judgment of Anubis" and select a Spell Card that negates the activation of a card and destroys it, like "My Body as a Shield" or "Bait Doll".
- You cannot activate "Barrel Behind the Door" against "Judgment of Anubis" because when "Judgment of Anubis" is activated, it has not been confirmed that the damage-inflicting effect will happen.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Barrel Behind the Door: You cannot activate "Barrel Behind the Door" against effects if you don't know for certain that they will inflict damage when the effect is activated. So you cannot activate it against..."Judgment of Anubis"...
- Curse of Royal: You can use "Curse of Royal" against cards like..."Judgment of Anubis"...
- Des Wombat: If your only "Des Wombat" is destroyed by "Judgment of Anubis"...it is no longer on the field so it will not protect you against the damage from these card effects.
- Gorz the Emissary of Darkness: If you activate "Mystical Space Typhoon" and your opponent chains "Judgment of Anubis", if they destroy the only monster you control with its effect and inflict damage to your Life Points, you can start a new Chain by activating the effect of "Gorz the Emissary of Darkness" if you don't control any cards.
- Magical Thorn: The effect of "Magical Thorn" is applied when the opponent discards during the End Phase to make their hand size 6, discarding for the cost of cards such as..."Judgment of Anubis"...
- My Body as a Shield: "Judgment of Anubis" may be chained to "My Body as a Shield".
