Card Rulings:Sorcerer of Dark Magic
OCG Rulings
- The "negate the activation of Trap Cards, and destroy them" effect can be activated during the Damage Step.[1]
- The effect which negates the activation of a Trap Card and destroys it activates and uses a chain. This effect cannot be used when an already-face-up Continuous Trap Card activates its effect.[2]
- "Double Snare" can destroy cards like "The Dragon's Bead", "Tyrant Dragon", "Fiend Skull Dragon", "Jinzo", "Royal Decree", and "Sorcerer of Dark Magic". It can target "Ryu Senshi", but "Double Snare" will be negated and destroyed.[3]
- While equipped to "Relinquished"/"Sword Hunter"/etc, "Jinzo"/"Tyrant Dragon"/"Sorcerer of Dark Magic"/etc have no effect and cannot negate Trap Cards. Thus, they cannot be targeted by "Double Snare".[4]
- If "Offerings to the Doomed"/"Raigeki Break"/etc is chained to the Spell/Trap Card-negating effect of "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8"/"Dark Paladin"/"Sorcerer of Dark Magic"/"Gladiator Beast Heraklinos" so that "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" etc is not face-up on the field at resolution, then the Spell/Trap Card is neither negated nor destroyed.[5]
Previously Official Rulings
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[6] 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.
