OCG Rulings[]
- This monster is a Normal Summon Monster.[1]
- The effect which negates the effect of a card on the field targets one face-up card on the field.[1]
- The negating effect of "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" does not end during the End Phase. The effects of the targeted card remains negated during the entire turn.[2]
- Example: The effects of Spirit monsters, "Majestic Mech - Goryu", and "Jain, Lightsworn Paladin" will activate during the End Phase, but they will be negated and resolve without effect.
- The effect of "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" will only negate effects that activate on the field, or that are applied as long as the monster remains on the field. It will not stop effects like those of "Sangan" or "Black Pendant" that activate when sent to the Graveyard.[3]
- The effect of "Exiled Force" activates on the field, so its effect will be negated by the effect of "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" even though "Exiled Force" is no longer face-up on the field.[3]
- If "Torapart" is used as a Synchro Material Monster while its effect is negated by "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" or "Forbidden Chalice" or "Skill Drain", then the effect of "Torapart" is still applied and Trap Cards cannot be activated until the end of the Damage Step when the Synchro Monster attacks.[4]
