Card Rulings:Trap Stun
TCG Rulings
- The effect of “Trap Stun” lasts throughout the turn. You do not choose a timing for it to expire in the End Phase.[1]
OCG Rulings
- The effect of "Trap Stun" lasts for the entire turn in which it was activated.[2]
- Example: If you control "Glorious Illusion", you cannot choose to end the effect of "Trap Stun" and then activate the effect of "Glorious Illusion". The effect of "Glorious Illusion" must be negated.[2]
- After "Trap Stun" has resolved, if a Trap Card is activated and "Emergency Provisions" is chained and sends that Trap Card to the Graveyard, then the Trap Card will still be negated. This is because the effect of the Trap Card is still on the field, even though the Trap Card itself is not.[3]
In Other Rulings
- Call of the Haunted: After "Call of the Haunted" Special Summons a monster, if "Call of the Haunted" is negated by an effect like "Royal Decree" or "Trap Stun", then the Special Summoned monster remains on the field and is not destroyed. "Call of the Haunted" also remains on the field, even though its effect is negated. If the effect of "Royal Decree" or "Trap Stun" is no longer applied, then the effect of "Call of the Haunted" is re-applied, so the Special Summoned monster would be destroyed if "Call of the Haunted" is removed from the field.[4]
- Forgotten Temple of the Deep: If "Forgotten Temple of the Deep" is negated by "Royal Decree" or "Trap Stun", then its effect to treat it as "Umi" will be negated, so that the name of "Forgotten Temple of the Deep" will not be treated as "Umi".[5]
- Seal of Wickedness: The text "The controller of this card has to pay 500 Life Points during each of your Standby Phases or destroy this card." of "Seal of Wickedness" is a maintenance cost, not an effect. Maintenance Costs cannot be negated, so you still pay the Maintenance Cost even if "Trap Stun" or "Royal Decree" is negating the effect of "Seal of Wickedness". If you choose not to pay the Maintenance Cost in this situation, then "Seal of Wickedness" is still destroyed.[6]
