Mentions in Other Rulings
- Djinn of Rituals: You can remove this card from play during the resolution of a Ritual Spell even if “Mask of Restrict” is in play because it does not count as Tributing the monster.
Previously Official Rulings
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[1] 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.

- Fusion Material Monsters are not Tributes, so a Fusion Monster may be Special Summoned while this card is active on the field.
- If "Mask of Restrict" is chained to a Ritual Spell Card, the effect of the Spell Card cannot resolve and no monsters are Tributed from the hand or field.
- If "Mask of Restrict" is active, a Toon Monster that requires Tributes cannot be Special Summoned. The activation of "Mask of Restrict" cannot be chained to the Summoning of a Toon Monster, but it can be chained to the activation of "Toon World".
- If "Mask of Restrict" is chained to the effect of "Cannon Soldier" you will still take damage because Tributing a monster is a cost of "Cannon Soldier" and is performed when the effect of "Cannon Soldier" is activated. If "Mask of Restrict" is chained to your opponent’s "Share the Pain" you do not have to Tribute a monster, but your opponent still does because it is a cost.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Amplifier: If you activate "Mask of Restrict" and you have "Jinzo" with "Amplifier", "Mask of Restrict" is not negated and its effect still applies, so neither player may Tribute.
- Doomcaliber Knight: "Doomcaliber Knight's" effect will not activate while "Mask of Restrict" is active, because it cannot be Tributed.
- Kiryu: While "Mask of Restrict" is active, you cannot Tribute "Kiryu" because "Mask of Restrict" prevents all Tributing, including Tributing Equip Spell Cards.
- Voltanis the Adjudicator: You cannot Special Summon "Voltanis the Adjudicator" if "Mask of Restrict" is active on the field.
