Card Rulings:Marincess Marbled Rock
OCG Rulings
- This card's effect that adds a "Marincess" card from your GY to your hand is an Ignition Effect. (It targets 1 "Marincess" card in your GY other than "Marincess Marbled Rock".)[1]
- You can also target a Link Monster such as "Marincess Coral Anemone". (In that case, the targeted Link Monster is returned to the Extra Deck, not your hand.)[1]
- This card's effect that prevents monsters from being destroyed by battle and prevents you from taking battle damage is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target. Sending 1 "Marincess" monster from your hand to the GY is the cost to activate this effect.)[1]
- This effect is applied only during the battle in which it was activated. (If a replay occurs and the attack is stopped, the effect stops applying.)[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: When my opponent's "Linkmail Archfiend" declares an attack on my "Marincess Marbled Rock", I activate the effect of "Marincess Marbled Rock" by sending "Marincess Sea Star" from my hand to the GY. I then chain "Call of the Haunted" and Special Summon that sent Marincess Sea Star, and a replay occurs. If my opponent chooses to re-select "Marincess Sea Star" as the attack target, what happens?
- A: In this scenario, since the effect of "Marincess Marbled Rock" was activated when "Linkmail Archfiend" declared an attack, it is applied normally even if your opponent re-selects a new attack target after a replay. (The attacking "Linkmail Archfiend" and your "Marincess Sea Star" are not destroyed by this battle, and you do not take any battle damage from this battle.)[2][3]
