Barrier Statue Monster Rulings
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[1] They were previously considered official, but may or may not necessarily hold true nowadays. |
- These rulings apply for all 6 "Barrier Statue" monsters.[2]
- Barrier Statues will even prevent monsters from being Special Summoned face-down if they have the “barred” Attribute (an Attribute that the Barrier Statue is preventing from being Special Summoned).[2]
- Effects like “Giant Rat” and “Mystic Tomato” cannot be used while a Barrier Statue is in play if they would Special Summon a monster with a barred Attribute.[2]
- You can activate “Reasoning” while a Barrier Statue is in play. But you cannot Special Summon the barred monster Attribute. If you pick up a monster with that Attribute, it cannot be Special Summoned and is sent to the Graveyard. (And the effect of “Reasoning” ends.)[2]
- You cannot activate “The Shallow Grave” while a Barrier Statue is in play if the only monsters in the opponent’s Graveyard are barred monsters.[2]
- You cannot activate “Future Fusion” or the effect of “Cyber-Stein” while a Barrier Statue is in play if the only Fusion Monsters in your Extra Deck have barred Attributes.[2]
- Effects that Special Summon, like “Jam Breeding Machine”, will activate while a Barrier Statue is in play, but if they would Special Summon a monster with a barred Attribute, no monster will be Special Summoned.[2]
- You cannot activate “Magical Hats” while a Barrier Statue is in play.[2]
- You cannot activate “Overload Fusion” while a Barrier Statue is in play (unless it is “Barrier Statue of the Abyss”).[2]
- Note that effects like “DNA Transplant” change monster Attributes only after they are on the field. So it has no impact on what monsters can be Special Summoned while a Barrier Statue is in play.[2]
