Card Rulings:Vanity's Call
OCG Rulings
- When "Vanity's Call" allows you to Special Summon "Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord", if "Vanity's Call" negated multiple card types, then all the appropriate effects of "Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord" activate and form a Chain.[1]
- Example: The following Chain occurs: Chain 1: Monster Effect → Chain 2: Spell Card → Chain 3: Trap Card → Chain 4: "Vanity's Call". After resolving the Chain, "Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord" is Special Summoned. Then, the controller chooses in what order the effects activate. Three cards were negated, so "Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord" actiates three times and forms a Chain with itself.[1]
- If "Vanity's Call" negates three Trap Cards and you Special Summon "Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord", then the effect of "Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord" will only activate once (and destroy a total of one card).[1]
- If your opponent controls "Splendid Venus", he cannot activate "Vanity's Call" if it would negate the activation of and destroy a card your opponent controls. This is because "Splendid Venus" also prevents your opponent from negating his own Spell/Trap Cards.[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. References: [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] |
- Unless the activation of a card can be negated, the effect will not be negated either. So an effect like "Stumbling" on a chain will not be negated nor destroyed by "Vanity's Call".
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Iris, the Earth Mother: The effect of "Iris, the Earth Mother" will still activate even if some steps of the chain have their activation negated. (Or even if "Vanity's Call" negates all Links in the chain.)
- Lightning Punisher: The effect of "Lightning Punisher" will still activate even if some steps of the chain have their activation negated. (Or even if "Vanity's Call" negates all links in the chain.)
- Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord: If your "Vanity's Call" negates multiple card effects controlled by your opponent, when you Special Summon "Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord" you will activate each effect appropriate effect. Each effect activated will be added to the Chain, in the order you choose.
- Example: "Vanity's Call" negates your opponent's "Destiny Draw" and "Seven Tools of the Bandit". When you Special Summon "Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord" you will activate its "inflict 1500 damage" and "destroy 1 card" effects. You can choose to have "inflict 1500 damage" be Chain Link 1 and "destroy 1 card" be Chain Link 2, or vice-versa.
