TCG Rulings
Email Rulings
 | These Ruling(s) have not been confirmed as applicable to the TCG.[Notes 1] |
- The "Rose Token" is considered Special Summoned by the controller of "Black Garden". So if your opponent controls "Black Garden" and Special Summons a "Rose Token" to your side of the field, you can activate "Naturia Antjaw"'s effect. If you control "Black Garden" and Special Summon a "Rose Token" to your opponent's side of the field, you cannot activate "Naturia Antjaw"'s effect.[1]
OCG Rulings
On Halving ATKs and the "Rose Token"
- When a monster is Summoned, the effect which Special Summons a "Rose Token" and halves the ATK of the other monster begins a chain.[2]
- If there is no open Monster Card Zone in which to Special Summon a "Rose Token", "Black Garden"'s effect still activates. The monster's ATK will be halved, but no "Rose Token" will be Special Summoned.[3]
- When "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" is Summoned, the effect of "Black Garden" will still activate. The ATK of "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" will not be halved, but a "Rose Token" will still be Special Summoned.[4]
- When multiple monsters are Special Summoned simultaneously, "Black Garden" will halve the ATK of each of those monsters. However, only one "Rose Token" will be Special Summoned to the opponent's field. If each player Special Summoned monsters simultaneously, each player will get 1 "Rose Token" each.[5]
- If "Vanity's Fiend" is on the field, the effect of "Black Garden" will still activate when a monster is Summoned. No "Rose Token" will be Special Summoned, but the monster's ATK still will be halved.[6]
- When a monster is Summoned face-up, if the monster is face-down when "Black Garden"'s effect resolves, then you neither halve the monster's ATK nor Summon a "Rose Token".[7]
- When a monster is Special Summoned face-down (such as with "The Shallow Grave"), "Black Garden"'s effect still activates. The monster's ATK is not halved, but you still Special Summon a "Rose Token".[8]
Halving ATKs
- If "Black Garden"'s effect is no longer being applied (i.e. "Black Garden" is negated or is removed from the field), the monsters' ATKs are still halved.[9]
- Enraged Muka Muka: If "Enraged Muka Muka" or "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon" has its ATK halved by the effect of "Black Garden", then afterwards the monster's ATK does not change, even if the number of cards in your hand or the contents of the Graveyard change.[10]
- Example: If you have five cards in your hand and you Summon "Enraged Muka Muka", then the effect of "Black Garden" halves its ATK from 3200 to 1600. If there are two Dragon-Type monsters in your Graveyard and you Summon "Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon", then the effect of "Black Garden" halves its ATK from 3000 to 1500.[10]
- Megamorph: When "Megamorph" targets a monster affected by "Black Garden", "Megamorph" will halve/double the monster's Original ATK, not the monster's halved ATK. If "Megamorph"'s effect disappears, the monster's ATK returns to its halved ATK.[11]
- Example: "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (ATK 3000) is Summoned, and its ATK is halved to 1500. "Megamorph" will make its ATK 1500 or 6000. If "Megamorph"'s effect disappears, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"'s ATK returns to 1500.
- Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon: See above; listed under "Enraged Muka Muka".
- Shrink: When "Shrink" targets a monster affected by "Black Garden", "Shrink" will halve the monster's Original ATK, not the monster's halved ATK. During the End Phase, the monster's ATK will return to its Original ATK.[11]
- Example: "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (ATK 3000) is Summoned, and its ATK is halved to 1500. "Shrink" will make its ATK 1500. During the End Phase, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"'s ATK returns to 3000.
The "Rose Token"
- The owner of the "Rose Token" is the controller of the Summoned monster when the effect of "Black Garden" activates. That player chooses which Monster Card Zone to which the "Rose Token" is Special Summoned. If "Remove Brainwashing" is active, then you gain control of all "Rose Token"s on your opponent's field.[12]
- The Tyrant Neptune: The ATK and DEF of "The Tyrant Neptune" are increased by the printed ATK and DEF of the monster which was Tributed from the field.[13]
- Example: If a "Rose Token" (800 ATK / 800 DEF) from "Black Garden" is Tributed for "The Tyrant Neptune", then the ATK and DEF of "The Tyrant Neptune" are each increased by 800.[13]
On Destroying Plants and Special Summoning
- The effect which Special Summons a monster from your Graveyard targets the monster.[14][15]
- This card's last effect destroys all monster on the field, including your opponent's field.[14]
- "Black Garden"'s effect to Special Summon a monster from the Graveyard cannot be activated if "Scapegoat" was previously activated, or if "Vanity's Fiend" is on the field. If you activate this effect of "Black Garden" and "Call of the Haunted" is chained to Special Summon "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo", then all Plant-Type monsters are destroyed, but no monster is Special Summoned.[16]
- "The combined ATK of the destroyed monster(s)"" means the combined total ATK while the monsters are on the field, including alterations from other effects like Equip Cards.[17]
- When "Black Garden"'s last effect resolves, if the total ATK of all Plant-Type monsters is not the same as the ATK of the targeted monster, the monster is not Summoned.[15]
Miscellaneous
- The effect of "Royal Oppression" cannot be activated when "Black Garden" is activated from the hand. However, when either effect of "Black Garden" is activated, "Royal Oppression" can be chained to negate the effect of and destroy "Black Garden".[18]
Previously Official Rulings
| These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[19] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise. References: [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] |
- "Black Garden's" first effect is a Trigger Effect.
- "Black Garden's" second effect that Special Summons 1 monster from your Graveyard targets.
- Destroying "Black Garden" and all face-up Plant-Type monsters is not a cost.
- If a monster Normal or Special Summoned while “Black Garden” is active is flipped face-down, its ATK will no longer be halved.
- If a monster is Special Summoned face-down, "Black Garden's" first effect still activates. The monster's ATK is not halved, but a "Rose Token" is still Special Summoned.
- If "Black Garden's" second effect is activated and an effect is chained that removes it from the field, its effect disappears because it cannot be destroyed, and the face-up Plant-Type monsters on the field are not destroyed.
- If "Black Garden's" second effect is activated and an effect is chained that changes the ATK of Plant-Type monster(s) on the field, the targeted monster in the Graveyard is not Special Summoned, but "Black Garden" and all face-up Plant-Type monsters on the field are still destroyed.
- The “total ATK” of the destroyed Plant-Type monsters is equal to their combined ATK while on the field.
- When a monster is Normal or Special Summoned, any Continuous Effects that increase or decrease the monster's ATK are applied before halving the monster's ATK with "Black Garden's" effect. For example, If "Command Knight" is Normal or Special Summoned, when "Black Garden" halves its ATK it also halves the ATK "Command Knight" gained from its effect. If "Burden of the Mighty" is active, the monster's reduced ATK is halved by "Black Garden".
- If "Black Garden" is removed from the field or negated, the ATK of monsters whose ATK was halved remains halved.
- If you control "Black Garden", when you activate "Scapegoat" the effect of "Black Garden" will activate after your "Sheep Tokens" are Special Summoned, but its effect will disappear. If instead, your opponent activates "Scapegoat", after they Special Summon their "Sheep Tokens" the effect of "Black Garden" activates, and when it resolves you will Special Summon the Rose Token.
- If your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster while you do not have any open Monster Zones, "Black Garden's" first effect still activates and halves the monster's ATK, but the "Rose Token" is not Special Summoned.
- If you have a Gemini Monster on the field and you Normal Summon it to change it into an Effect Monster, "Black Garden's" first effect activates. It will halve the Gemini Monster's ATK and Special Summon a "Rose Token" onto your opponent's side of the field. If the Gemini Monster's ATK had already been halved by "Black Garden" when it was previously Normal or Special Summoned, it is halved again.
- If "Vanity's Fiend" is face-up on the field when a monster is Normal Summoned "Black Garden's" first effect still activates. The Normal Summoned monster's ATK is halved, but the "Rose Token" is not Special Summoned.
- If "Black Garden" cannot be destroyed (due to "Field Barrier", etc.), its second effect cannot be activated.
- If you activate "Black Garden's" second effect and an effect is chained that removes the targeted monster from your Graveyard, "Black Garden" and all face-up Plant-Type monsters on the field are still destroyed, but no monster is Special Summoned from your Graveyard.
- When either of “Black Garden’s” effects is activated, "Royal Oppression's" effect can be chained.
- If a monster has its ATK halved by "Black Garden", and afterwards its original ATK is halved by "Shrink", the monster's ATK becomes half its original ATK. When the effect of "Shrink" is no longer applied, the monster's ATK returns to its original ATK.
- If a monster has its ATK halved by "Black Garden", and afterwards it is equipped with "Megamorph", its ATK will be equal to double its original ATK. If "Megamorph" is later negated or removed from the field, the monster's ATK will return to half its ATK (the same as it was before “Megamorph” was equipped).
- If "King of the Skull Servants" is Normal or Special Summoned, first its original ATK is set by its effect. When "Black Garden" halves its ATK, it will halve the original ATK, and even if the number of "King of the Skull Servants" and/or "Skull Servants" in the Graveyard changes afterwards, the ATK of the "King of the Skull Servants" remains at the halved value set by "Black Garden".
- If "Tyranno Infinity" is Normal or Special Summoned, first its original ATK is set by its effect. When "Black Garden" halves its ATK, it will halve the original ATK, and even if the number of Dinosaur-Type monsters in its controller's Graveyard changes, the ATK of "Tyranno Infinity" remains at the halved value set by "Black Garden".
- If "Black Garden" and "The Wicked Dreadroot" are face-up on the field, when a monster is Normal or Special Summoned its ATK is first halved by "The Wicked Dreadroot", and afterwards its ATK is halved again when "Black Garden's" effect resolves.
- If you and your opponent Special Summon monster(s) with the same effect, when "Black Garden's" effect resolves the ATK of each Special Summoned monster is halved, and 1 "Rose Token" is Special Summoned onto both you and your opponent's side of the field. If either player does not have an open Monster Card Zone, their opponent still gets a "Rose Token".
- The player that Normal or Special Summoned a monster chooses which of their opponent's Monster Card Zones the "Rose Token" is Special Summoned into. The player that Normal or Special Summoned a monster is considered to be the "owner" of the "Rose Token".
- If a monster that is unaffected by the effects of Spell Cards is Normal or Special Summoned, its ATK will not be halved by "Black Garden's" effect, but the "Rose Token" is still Special Summoned.
- If a monster that is unaffected by the effects of Spell Cards is also a Plant-Type monster, it is not destroyed when "Black Garden's" second effect resolves, and its ATK is not included in the total ATK of the destroyed Plant-Type monsters.
- If "Black Garden's" second effect is activated and "Call of the Haunted" is chained, Special Summoning "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo", "Black Garden's" effect cannot Special Summon a monster, but it and all face-up Plant-Type monsters on the field are still destroyed.
