- I believe that it's a condition, and thus won't be negated. For whatever reason we don't have a rulings page for it. Sanokal K-T (talk • contribs) 00:36, June 16, 2016 (UTC)
- When you see something like "This card cannot be Tributed", "This card cannot be used as Synchro Material", etc., it's safe to assume that it is a condition. However, if it says "This face-up card", then that means it is a Continuous effect, which can be negated. For examples of that, see "Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor" and the red, blue, yellow, and green "Duston" monsters. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 03:49, June 16, 2016 (UTC)
- There's actually a clearer and safer way to tell (at least, for cards released in the OCG during the ARC-V era). In the OCG, all effects begin with a number. If part of a card text doesn't, it's a condition. In this case, looking at the OCG text for "Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer"'s monster effect, there is no number, hence this is a condition.
