Card Rulings:Karakuri Spider
TCG Rulings
- This card’s effect is applied at the same time you apply Flip Effects.[1]
- You still destroy the DARK monster even if its ATK and DEF are higher than Karakuri Spider’s.[1]
- If Karakuri Spider attacks Relinquished, Relinquished is destroyed even if it has a monster equipped.[1]
- If Karakuri Spider attacks Dark Ruler Ha Des, Karakuri Spider’s effect is negated.[1]
OCG Rulings
- This card is treated as a "Karakuri" monster.[2]
- The effect of "Karakuri Spider" is a Trigger Effect that activates on the field. (The effect does not target. It always activates after damage calculation, if the monster "Karakuri Spider" attacked is a DARK monster. It also activates if "Karakuri Spider" is destroyed by battle.)[2]
- The effect of "Karakuri Spider" activates after inflicting Battle Damage, at the same time that Flip Effects activate.[3][4] Thus, if "Karakuri Spider" attacks "Dark Ruler Ha Des", then you first perform damage calculation and "Karakuri Spider" is destroyed by battle. The effect of "Dark Ruler Ha Des" negates the effects of "Karakuri Spider", so you cannot use the effect of "Karakuri Spider" to destroy "Dark Ruler Ha Des".[4]
