Forum:Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow

Would this effect work with Direct Attacks, as well?

If you attacked directly with a "Blackwing" monster, could you activate the effect of this card as well? In other words, would the "Blackwing" you attacked with gain 1400 ATK if it were attacking directly?

If anyone has an answer, please update the Rulings section. Thanks.

Yes it can be used, but don't edit the rulings page unless it's a quote from 'Official' rulings (e.g. Konami FAQ, Sneak Preview Rulings, etc). Falzar FZ 11:37, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

End of Anubus vs Blackwind Kalut the Moon Shadow

Does Anubus stop Kalut's effect if Anubus is on the field? —This unsigned comment was made by 67.82.143.149 (talk • contribs) 14:58, April 16, 2010

No, "The End of Anubis" doesn't do anything. The effect of "Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow" activates in the hand, and it doesn't target any cards in the Graveyard, so "The End of Anubis" won't negate the effect.

We have a rulings forum specifically set up for your rulings questions. Also, remember to sign your posts with four tildes ~~~~, since that automatically creates a signature for you.

Your opponent can activate Kalut from the start of the Damage Step to the start of Damage Calculation.

Cards that can be activated at Damage Step:

  1. Counter Trap Cards (e.g. Seven Tools of the Bandit)
  2. Spell Speed 2 Effects that alter the ATK/DEF of monsters (e.g. Rush Recklessly)
  3. Effects that specify activation timings within the Damage Step (e.g. Nutrient Z)
  4. Quick Effect (Multi-Trigger) Monster Effects that negate the activation of a card/effect (e.g. Stardust Dragon)
  5. "Attack and Receive", "Chthonian Blast", "Desrook Archfiend", "Michizure", "Null and Void", and "Numinous Healer"

Note that the effect of Kalut can be activated during damage calculation. We only get one Chain with which to activate effects that are activated "during damage calculation". Only effects that are activated "during damage calculation" and effects that negate them, such as Counter Trap Cards and the Quick effects of cards like "Herald of Orange Light" and "Light and Darkness Dragon", can be activated at this time. Effects that increase, decrease, halve, double, etc. the ATK and/or DEF of a monster cannot be activated at this time, unless they are specifically allowed to be activated "during damage calculation".
