TCG Rulings
- Discarding cards is part of the effect, not a cost.[1]
- If Fabled Raven is no longer face-up on the field when its effect resolves you can still discard cards even though the Level cannot be increased.[1]
- Discarding cards, increasing the Level, and increasing the ATK all happen at the same time.[1]
- If Skill Drain is activated after Fabled Raven’s effect resolves, the effects of Fabled Raven will be negated and its Level and ATK will return to the original and will not go back to their increased values even if Skill Drain is destroyed later that turn.[1]
OCG Rulings
- "Fabled Raven" will activate the effect of "Dark World" monsters, like "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World".[3]
- If an effect like "Book of Moon" or "Compulsory Evacuation Device" is chained to the effect of "Fabled Raven" so that "Fabled Raven" is not face-up on the field when resolving its effect, then you still resolve the effect which makes you discard from your hand, even though you cannot resolve the effect which raises the ATK of "Fabled Raven".[4]
- If "TG1-EM1" or "Enemy Controller" are chained to the Ignition Effect of "Fabled Raven" so that it switches control, it is the player that activated the effect of "Fabled Raven" that will discard cards from their hand. Furthermore, the level and ATK of "Fabled Raven" will increase according to the cards discarded.[5]
