TCG Rulings
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Mermaid Archer: If “Imperial Order” or “Spell Canceller” are active, “Mermaid Archer” still gains the 800 ATK from a monster equipped to it.
- Thorn of Malice: The ATK & DEF reduction from “Thorn of Malice” lasts as long as the reduced monster is face-up on the field. Effects like “Imperial Order” or “Spell Canceller” will not remove the ATK & DEF reduction.
OCG Rulings
- When the effect of "Imperial Order"/"Spell Canceller"/etc negates the effect of "Arcane Barrier"/"Magical Citadel of Endymion"/etc while the latter has Spell Counters on it, all Spell Counters are removed from "Magical Citadel of Endymion"/etc.[1]
- If the effect of "Brain Research Lab" is negated by an effect like "Imperial Order" or "Spell Canceller", then all Psychic Counters on "Brain Research Lab" are removed.[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.

- "Spell Canceller"'s effect is similar to "Imperial Order".
- If "Last Will"'s effect is active (its 'state' is in effect) and "Spell Canceller" is Summoned, "Spell Canceller" will not negate the effect of "Last Will".
- You can Special Summon "Spell Canceller" with "Premature Burial"; the effect of "Premature Burial" is negated by "Spell Canceller" so if "Premature Burial" is destroyed, "Spell Canceller" is not destroyed and remains on the field.
- You can chain "Call of the Haunted" to a Spell Card, and Special Summon "Spell Canceller", to negate the effect of the Spell Card.
- You can activate "Spiritualism" when "Spell Canceller" is face-up on the field because its activation and effect cannot be negated.
- When "Spell Canceller" is face-up on the field, you can activate the Graveyard effect of "Dark Necrofear" (because it is a monster effect) and equip it to a monster, but the effect of "Dark Necrofear" after it is equipped will be negated because it is then an Equip Spell Card.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Clock Tower Prison: If "Spell Canceller" is Summoned or "Imperial Order" is activated, all the Clock Counters will be removed from "Clock Tower Prison".
- Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude: The Normal Spell Card's effect activates in the Graveyard. So its effect will not be negated by "Spell Canceller".
- Level Limit - Area B: If you Summon "Spell Canceller" while "Level Limit - Area B" is on the field, "Spell Canceller" negates its effect and is not changed to Defense Position.
- Return of the Doomed: This card is activated during your Main Phase 1 or 2 and creates a state that lasts until the end of your turn. If "Spell Canceller" is Summoned after this card was activated, but during the same turn, the state it created is not negated and 1 monster will return to your hand if destroyed during this turn.
