OCG Rulings

• "Ally of Justice Catastor"'s effect will activate when it battles a monster with multiple Attributes, such as "Dark Simorgh" or "Light and Darkness Dragon" - assuming that "Light and Darkness Dragon" doesn't negate the effect.^[1]

• When battling with "Ally of Justice Catastor", "D.D. Warrior"'s effect will not activate, since he is destroyed before Damage Calculation (and "D.D. Warrior"'s effect activates after Damage Calculation).^[2]

• "Ally of Justice Catastor"'s effect activates at the beginning of the Damage Step, before the monster is flipped face-up. If the monster is face-down, "Ally of Justice Catastor"'s effect will not activate.^[3]

• If a monster attacks a face-down "Ally of Justice Catastor", the effect will not activate and the attacking monster will not be destroyed (regardless of its Attribute).^[3]

• If "Ally of Justice Catastor" battles with "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole", the mandatory effect of "Ally of Justice Catastor" activates as Chain Link 1, and the optional effect of "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole" can activate as Chain Link 2. "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole" will resolve first and return itself to the Hand and "Ally of Justice Catastor" to the Extra Deck. Then, the effect of "Ally of Justice Catastor" will resolve without effect.^[4]

• When "Rush Recklessly" and "Ally of Justice Unlimiter" both affect "Ally of Justice Catastor",^[5]
  • If "Rush Recklessly" is activated first and then the effect of "Ally of Justice Unlimiter" is activated, then the ATK of "Ally of Justice Catastor" will be 4400 - its Original ATK, doubled.^[5]
  • If the effect of "Ally of Justice Unlimiter" is activated first and then "Rush Recklessly" is activated, then the ATK of "Ally of Justice Catastor" will be 5100.^[5]

• If "Ally of Justice Catastor" is equipped with "Megamorph" and has its ATK halved to 1100, when the effect of "Ally of Justice Unlimiter" is applied, then "Ally of Justice Catastor" will have 4400 ATK. If "Ally of Justice Catastor" has its ATK doubled to 4400, then the effect of "Ally of Justice Unlimiter" will not change the ATK of "Ally of Justice Catastor".^[6]

• If "Ally of Justice Catastor" is affected by "Ally of Justice Unlimiter" and then is equipped with "Megamorph", then "Ally of Justice Catastor" will have 1100 ATK or 4400 ATK, as determined by "Megamorph".^[6]

• If "Ally of Justice Catastor" battles with a monster equipped with a card like "Heavy Mech Support Platform" or "Spirit of the Six Samurai", then "Heavy Mech Support Platform" is destroyed, but afterwards you still perform Damage Calculation because the equipped monster is still on the field.^[7]

• If "Gladiator Beast Alexander" attacks "Krebons" or "Ally of Justice Catastor" and its effect activates, then if "Gladiator Beast War Chariot" negates the activation of the effect destroys it, then damage calculation is not performed. Thus, at the end of the Battle Phase you cannot activate the effect of "Gladiator Beast Alexander" which Special Summons another "Gladiator Beast" monster from the Deck.^[8]
