Card Rulings:D/D/D Vice King Requiem
OCG Rulings
- This card's effect that only allows you to Special Summon "D/D/D" monsters is a Continuous Effect.[1]
- This card's effect that grants an additional effect to a "D/D/D" monster that was Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Summoned using this card as a material is not classified as an Ignition, Trigger, Quick, or Continuous Effect. (The "D/D/D" monster that was Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link Summoned using this card as a material gains the listed "●" effect. It is not the effect of "D/D/D Vice King Requiem" itself.)[1]
- The gained "●" effect is an Ignition Effect. (It targets 1 card on the field.)[1]
- Returning a "Dark Contract" card to the Deck and destroying the targeted card is not simultaneous with gaining 1000 LP.[1]
- This card's Pendulum Effect starts a Chain. (It targets any number of face-up "Dark Contract" cards in your Spell & Trap Zone.)[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: "D/D/D Vice King Requiem" was Special Summoned from the Pendulum Zone by its own effect, and its Level is reduced by 1. In this situation, if the effect of "Skill Drain" is applied and the effects of "D/D/D Vice King Requiem" are negated, what happens to its Level?
- A: The effect of "D/D/D Vice King Requiem" that Special Summons it from the Pendulum Zone and increases or decreases its Level is a Spell effect. Therefore, even if the effects of "D/D/D Vice King Requiem" are subsequently negated by the effect of "Skill Drain", its Level will not change. (In this scenario, its Level is still reduced by 1.)[2][3]
