TCG Rulings

• The "you" in "on your side of the field" is the current controller's side, so as long as "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" is face-up, it is always "face-up on your side of the field".^[1]

• If you don’t have "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" in your hand or Deck, you cannot send "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" to the Graveyard to activate its effect.^[1]

• You cannot Tribute "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" for "Ectoplasmer's" effect because it is not a cost, it is a Tribute when you resolve "Ectoplasmer's" effect, and "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" is not affected by Spell Cards' effects.^[1]

• If "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" is equipped with "Metallizing Parasite - Lunatite", and would be destroyed as a result of battle, "Metallizing Parasite - Lunatite" is destroyed instead (this is not negated by "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6's" effect).^[1]

• If "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" is the only monster on the field, you can activate a Spell Card that targets, but its effect will be negated because "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" would be the only valid target and it is unaffected by Spell Cards.^[1]

• You can activate "Level Up!" and send "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" to the Graveyard to Special Summon "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" because sending 1 monster to the Graveyard is a cost for "Level Up!" and if a card is unaffected by Spell Cards, that only refers to effects, not to costs.^[1]

• If a level monster fulfills its condition to Special Summon the next-highest level (for example, if "Armed Dragon LV5" destroys a monster as a result of battle), and the level monster is then flipped face-down, or removed from play permanently, or sent to the Graveyard and then Special Summoned from the Graveyard, then its condition is reset and it is no longer considered to have met the condition to Level Up to the next level.^[1]

Mentions in Other Rulings

• Adhesive Explosive: If this face-down card is attacked by "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" or "Guardian Kay'est", it will still be equipped to the attacker, but it will not destroy the equipped monster during the Standby Phase.

• Blaze Accelerator: If you activate this card's effect then you, the player, cannot declare an attack so even a monster unaffected by the effects of Spell Cards like "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" cannot attack.

• Dimensional Fissure: Since Monster Cards are removed from play instead of going to the Graveyard, you cannot send "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" to the Graveyard to activate its effect to level up.

• Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4: If you don’t have "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" in your hand or Deck, you cannot send "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4" to the Graveyard to activate its effect.

• Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4: You don't have to send "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4" to the Graveyard if you don't want to, even if it destroyed a monster as a result of battle. But if you activate its effect by sending it to the Graveyard, you must Special Summon "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" if possible.

• Horus' Servant: "Horus' Servant" has an effect just like "Lord of D.", but only applicable to "Horus the Black Flame Dragon". "Horus' Servant" will not negate a card effect. All it does is prevent "Horus the Black Flame Dragon" from being selected as a target. If your opponent selects "Horus the Black Flame Dragon" as a target (with "Ring of Destruction", for example), and you chain "Call of the Haunted" to Special Summon "Horus' Servant", then "Horus the Black Flame Dragon" will still be destroyed by "Ring of Destruction" because "Horus' Servant" is being Special Summoned AFTER "Horus the Black Flame Dragon" was selected. The fact that "Ring of Destruction" has not yet resolved does not matter; "Horus the Black Flame Dragon" was selected at the activation of "Ring of Destruction", and "Horus' Servant" is Special Summoned too late to prevent this.

• Horus' Servant: Your opponent cannot activate a Spell Card, Trap Card, or Monster Effect that would select "Horus the Black Flame Dragon" as a target while "Horus' Servant" is in play. "Horus' Servant" does not cause the effect to be negated; he prevents the activation of the effect in the first place.

• Level Modulation: Even Continuous Effects on the Special Summoned Monster, like "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6", are not applied during the turn this card is used to Special Summon that monster.

• Misfortune: You can select your opponent's "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" for "Misfortune's" effect and the opponent will still take damage. This is because "Misfortune" has no effect on the monster you select.

• Misfortune: If you control "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6", it can attack during the turn that you activated "Misfortune".

• Savage Colosseum: Monsters that are unaffected by Spell Cards, such as "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6," do not have to attack and are not destroyed if they do not attack.

• Wonder Clover: Monsters that are unaffected by the effects of Spell Cards, like "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6," can still attack even if "Wonder Clover" is preventing other monsters from attacking.

OCG Rulings

• You can target "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" or "Silent Swordsman LV5" with "Level Down!?", but you won't return the monster to the deck and you won't Special Summon any monster.^[2]

• 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.^[3]

• If "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6" is not destroyed by "Assault Revival", then "Assault Revival" will not Special Summon the "/Assault Mode" monster from your Graveyard since you did not destroy all monsters you control.^[4]
