Card Rulings:Riryoku Field
OCG Rulings
- You can activate "Riryoku Field" during the Damage Step.[1]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[2] 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. References: [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] |
- This card cannot be used against "Monster Reborn" or "Premature Burial" since they do not target a monster on the field.
- This card cannot be used against "Fissure", "Smashing Ground", or "Dark Hole" because these cards do not target.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Black Pendant: If this card's activation is negated, such as with..."Riryoku Field" it does not do damage to your opponent.
- Creature Swap: The opponent cannot chain..."Riryoku Field"...to "Creature Swap" because it does not target.
- Curse of Royal: You can use "Curse of Royal" against cards like ..."Riryoku Field"...
- Spirit Reaper: If "Spirit Reaper" is targeted by an Equip Spell Card, and an effect like "Dust Tornado" is chained to destroy the Equip Spell Card before it resolves, "Spirit Reaper" is still destroyed because the activation of the Equip Spell Card was not negated, even though the effect of the Equip Spell Card is not applied. (If..."Riryoku Field" was used instead, then "Spirit Reaper" would not be destroyed because both of those Trap Cards would negate the Equip Spell Card's activation.)
- Trap Monster: ... When preventing the destruction of “Embodiment of Apophis”, you must be using a card of the appropriate type. ... You can use “Riryoku Field” when “Embodiment of Apophis” is targeted by “Snatch Steal”...
