Mentions in Other Rulings

• Burst Stream of Destruction: If you activate "Burst Stream of Destruction", and the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is removed from the field with "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" or "Compulsory Evacuation Device", or flipped face-down with "Book of Moon", or destroyed by "Ring of Destruction", "Burst Stream of Destruction's" effect still resolves.

• Burst Stream of Destruction: It is an effect of "Burst Stream of Destruction" that "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" cannot attack, so if "Non-Spellcasting Area" is on the field, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" CAN attack. If "Imperial Order" is activated later, "Burst Stream of Destruction's" effect is negated and "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" CAN attack.

• Burst Stream of Destruction: If "Burst Stream of Destruction's" activation is negated by "Magic Jammer", then "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" can attack.

• Burst Stream of Destruction: NO copies of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" can attack the turn that "Burst Stream of Destruction's" effect is applied, even if they are Summoned after "Burst Stream of Destruction" is played.

• Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude: Since you are only activating the Normal Spell Card's effect, and not the Normal Spell Card itself, you do not pay costs and you do not have to meet any activation requirements. For example, you would not pay 1000 Life Points for "Confiscation", or discard 1 card for "Monster Reincarnation", or need a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" on the field to activate the effect of "Burst Stream of Destruction".

OCG Rulings

• 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.^[1]
  • 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.

• 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.^[1]
  • 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.

• "Bottomless Trap Hole" only destroys and removes from play the monster(s) whose Summon(s) provided the correct timing for "Bottomless Trap Hole" to be activated.^[2]
  • Example: "Monster Reborn" is activated and targets "Dark Magician" (2500 ATK). "Birthright" is chained and targets "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (3000 ATK). "Birthright" resolves first and Special Summons "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", and then "Dark Magician" is Special Summoned as Chain Link 1. If "Bottomless Trap Hole" is activated, then only "Dark Magician" is destroyed and removed from play because its Summon allowed "Bottomless Trap Hole to be activated.^[2]

• If "Bottomless Trap Hole" is activated when multiple monsters are Special Summoned simultaneously, then all Summoned monsters with 1500+ ATK are destroyed.^[2]
  • Example: Two copies of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" are Special Summoned by "Dimension Fusion". If "Bottomless Trap Hole" is activated, then both copies of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" are destroyed.^[2]

• After the effect of "Reptilianne Gorgon" makes the ATK of a monster become 0, if the monster is affected by "Shrink", then the ATK of the monster becomes half of its Original ATK.^[3]
  • Example: If "Reptilianne Gorgon" battles "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and makes its ATK 0, then the ATK of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" will be 1500 (half its Original ATK) when it is affected by "Shrink".^[3]

• If "Tragoedia" changes its Level by its own effect and then the effect of "Level Eater" lowers the Level of "Tragoedia" by 1, then during the End Phase when the effect of "Tragoedia" disappears the effect of "Level Eater" is still applied.^[4]
  • Example: "Tragoedia" is Level 8 because it activated its effect and removed from play ^[sic] "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (Level 8). Then, the effect of "Level Eater" activates and reduces the Level of "Tragoedia" by 1, to Level 7. When the effect of "Tragoedia" is no longer applied, the Level of "Tragoedia" becomes 9 (its original Level of 10, reduced by 1 by the effect of "Level Eater").^[4]
