Card Rulings:Vendread Houndhorde
OCG Rulings
- The effect that Special Summons this card from the Graveyard is an Ignition Effect that activates in the Graveyard. (It does not target. Discarding a “Vendread” card is the cost to activate this effect.)[1]
- Banishing this card after it was Special Summoned by its own effect does not start a Chain. (This can also be applied during the Damage Step.)[1]
- The effect of this card that grants an additional effect to a “Vendread” Ritual Monster that used this card for its Ritual Summon is not classified as an Ignition, Trigger, Quick, or Continuous Effect. (It does not target. The “Vendread” monster that was Ritual Summoned using this card will gain the “●” effect. It is not an effect activated by Vendread Houndhorde itself.)[1]
- The “●” effect gained by the “Vendread” monster that was Ritual Summoned using this card is a Quick Effect. (It targets 1 Spell/Trap Card on your opponent’s field, and cannot be activated during the Damage Step.)[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: I activate "Revendread Origin", and Tribute monsters including a face-up "Vendread Houndhorde" to Ritual Summon "Revendread Slayer". Afterward, if my opponent activates "Book of Moon" and changes that "Revendread Slayer" to face-down Defense Position, will it still have the gained “●” effect?
- A: If "Revendread Slayer" was Ritual Summoned using a face-up "Vendread Houndhorde", but then changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of "Book of Moon", it will no longer have the “●” effect. (Even if it becomes face-up again, it will not regain that effect.)[2]
