TCG Rulings[]
- The effect of “Black Whirlwind” starts a Chain. If an effect is chained, so that the Summoned “Blackwing” monster is no longer face-up on the field when the effect of “Black Whirlwind” resolves, you cannot add a monster to your hand.[1]
- “Black Whirlwind” looks at the ATK of your newly-Summoned monster as it is on the field. If a Field Spell Card is increasing the monster’s ATK, you can search your Deck for a “Blackwing” monster that has less ATK than the increased ATK value.[1]
- If you control multiple “Black Whirlwinds,” you can activate all of their effects. They form a single Chain, and you add 1 “Blackwing” to your hand as each one resolves.[1]
- If control of the Summoned “Blackwing” monster shifts during or before resolution of “Black Whirlwind,” you can still add a card to your hand because you can still see the ATK.[1]
OCG Rulings[]
- You cannot add a monster to your hand that has the same ATK as the Normal Summoned monster.[2]
- If "Enemy Controller" is chained to the activation of the effect of "Black Whirlwind" so that the opponent controls the "Blackwing" monster when resolving the effect of "Black Whirlwind", then the effect of "Black Whirlwind" still resolves and you can still add a "Blackwing" monster from your Deck to your hand.[3]
- When resolving the effect of "Black Whirlwind", you add a "Blackwing" monster to your hand with less ATK than the ATK of the Normal Summoned monster while the Normal Summoned monster is on the field.[4]
- Example: "Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame" (1800 ATK) is Normal Summoned while "Mystic Plasma Zone" (+500 ATK) is on the field. If you activate the effect of "Black Whirlwind", then you add a monster with less than 2300 ATK from your Deck to your hand.[4]
- "Black Whirlwind" can only add to your hand a monster with less ATK than the ATK of the Normal Summoned monster. It cannot add a monster with equal ATK. When you Normal Summon "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" and you do not have a monster with less than 1300 ATK in your Deck, then you cannot activate the effect of "Black Whirlwind".[5]
- If you control multiple copies of "Black Whirlwind", then you can activate all copies as a chain when a "Blackwing" monster is Normal Summoned.[6]
- Example: If you control two copies of "Black Whirlwind", then you can add two monsters to your hand when you Normal Summon a "Blackwing" monster.[6]
- If an effect like "Trap Hole" is chained to the effect of "Black Whirlwind" so that the Normal Summoned "Blackwing" monster is not face-up on the field when resolving the effect of "Black Whirlwind", then the effect of "Black Whirlwind" is not applied and you do not add a "Blackwing" monster from your Deck to your hand.[7]
- The effect of "Black Whirlwind" can only be activated when a "Blackwing" monster is 「召喚」 (Normal Summoned) - that is, when it 「通常召喚」 (Normal Summoned or Set) from the hand in face-up Attack Position. The effect of "Black Whirlwind" cannot be activated when a "Blackwing" monster is 「反転召喚」 (Flip Summoned) or 「特殊召喚」 (Special Summoned).[8]
