Card Rulings:Sphinx Teleia
OCG Rulings
- The effect that Special Summons this card from your hand is not an Ignition Effect, Trigger Effect, Quick Effect, or Continuous Effect. (Special Summoning this card this way does not start a Chain Link.)[1]
- The effect that makes this card unable to attack during the turn it is Normal or Special Summoned is a Continuous Effect.[1]
- "This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard" is not treated as an effect.[1]
- The effect that inflicts damage to your opponent equal to half of the destroyed monster's DEF is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target.)[1]
- This effect always activates at the end of the Damage Step in which "Sphinx Teleia" destroyed a Defense Position monster by battle.[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.

- This card's effect which allows you to Special Summon it is a Spell Speed 1 effect that you can only activate during your Main Phase 1 or 2.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Last Turn: If "Pyramid of Light", "Andro Sphinx", and "Sphinx Teleia" are all sent to the Graveyard by "Last Turn", "Theinen the Great Sphinx" is not Special Summoned because the effect of "Pyramid of Light" activates its effect, but then looks for "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia" and does not find them on the field, so it cannot destroy them with its effect.
- Theinen the Great Sphinx: The effect of Summoning "Theinen the Great Sphinx" is a Trigger Effect, so you may do it during your opponent's turn if "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia" are destroyed simultaneously.
