Card Rulings:Scrap Searcher
TCG Rulings
- This card’s effect cannot be used during the Damage Step.[1]
- If the “Scrap” monster is destroyed while face-down, you can’t activate Scrap Searcher’s effect.[1]
- The effect to destroy all your face-up monsters except for “Scrap” monsters activates no matter how Scrap Searcher is Special Summoned.[1]
- The “Scrap” monster that is destroyed must be a “Scrap” monster in the Graveyard as well as on the field. That means you can’t use it when a Phantom of Chaos that’s copying a “Scrap” monster is destroyed.[1]
- If you Special Summon Scrap Searcher to your opponent’s side of the field with Scrap Golem, your opponent’s face-up monsters will be destroyed, except for “Scrap” monsters.[1]
OCG Rulings
- During the Damage Step, you cannot activate this card's effect which Special Summons itself.[2]
- You can use the effect of "Scrap Golem" to Special Summon a "Scrap Searcher" to your opponent's side of the field. In that case, all of your opponent's monsters will be destroyed. Your ("Scrap Searcher"'s original owner's) monsters will not be destroyed.[3]
- If the "Scrap" monster is destroyed while face-down, then you can't activate "Scrap Searcher"'s effect.[4]
- The "Scrap" monster that is destroyed must be a "Scrap" monster in the Graveyard as well as on the field.[5]
- Example: Suppose that "Phantom of Chaos" is copying a "Scrap" monster, and is destroyed. It is no longer a "Scrap" monster when in the Graveyard, so you cannot activate the effect of "Scrap Searcher".[5]
