TCG Rulings

• If you control “Machina Sniper” and both players have “Machina” monsters on their fields, neither player can attack “Machina” monsters except “Machina Sniper.”

• If a face-down “Machina” monster is attacked while “Machina Sniper” is on the field, the attack will proceed as normal because the monster is not flipped face-up until the Damage Step.

• If a face-down “Machina” monster is attacked while “Machina Sniper” is on the field, but the monster is flipped face-up by “Ceasefire” before the Damage Step, the attack is cancelled because of “Machina Sniper’s” effect.

Mentions in Other Rulings

• Commander Covington: Sending “Machina Soldier,” “Machina Sniper,” and “Machina Defender” to the Graveyard is a cost.

• Machina Force: The effect to Special Summon “Machina Soldier,” Machina Sniper,” [sic] and “Machina Defender” targets all three of those cards.
