Card Rulings:Ritual Foregone
OCG Rulings
- If the Ritual Monster Special Summoned by the effect of "Ritual Foregone" is not destroyed during the End Phase, it continues to remain face-up on the field but unable to declare an attack. Furthermore, during the opponent's End Phase, the condition to destroy itself will be applied again.[1]
- If a non-effect Ritual or Fusion Monster is Special Summoned by the effect of "Ritual Foregone"/"Instant Fusion" when "Non-Spellcasting Area" is applied to the field, it still cannot declare an attack and it will be destroyed during the End Phase.[2]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[3] 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.

- If the Ritual Monster Special Summoned by "Ritual Foregone" is flipped face-down or is removed from play (even temporarily), the effects of "Ritual Foregone" are not applied. So the monster can attack this turn, and is not destroyed at the end of this turn.
- Even if "Non-Spellcasting Area" is active, a Ritual Monster that is not an Effect Monster (such as "Hungry Burger") will still be affected by the restrictions on "Ritual Foregone". So it still cannot attack and it is still destroyed at the end of this turn.
- Even though only 1 copy of this card can be activated each turn, you can chain "Serial Spell" to it to duplicate the effect.
- If "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" uses its effect and reveals "Ritual Foregone", you can still activate another "Ritual Foregone" that same turn.
