TCG Rulings[]
Mentions in Other Rulings[]
- Cyber Dragon Zwei: If you activate "Inferno Reckless Summon" when "Proto-Cyber Dragon" is Summoned while you have 1 "Cyber Dragon" in your Deck and 3 "Cyber Dragon Zwei" in your Graveyard and only 3 Monster Card Zones open, you choose which monsters you want to Special Summon. Any monster that you cannot Special Summon is sent to the Graveyard.
OCG Rulings[]
- If "Proto-Cyber Dragon" is face-up on the field and has its name treated as "Cyber Dragon", then you can use it as a Fusion Material for "Cyber Twin Dragon" or "Cyber End Dragon".[1]
Mentions in Other Rulings[]
- Inferno Reckless Summon: If you have three copies each of "Cyber Dragon Zwei" and "Cyber Dragon" in your Graveyard, then you can activate "Inferno Reckless Summon" when "Proto-Cyber Dragon" is Special Summoned, even though you do not have enough open Monster Card Zones. When resolving "Inferno Reckless Summon", you select and Special Summon as many monsters as possible. Also, copies of "Cyber Dragon" in the Deck and hand which cannot be Special Summoned are sent to the Graveyard.[2]
Previously Official Rulings[]
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[3] 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.

- If "Skill Drain" is active, this card is no longer treated as "Cyber Dragon". You could not use it for "Attack Reflector Unit", etc.
- You can have 3 "Cyber Dragon" and 3 "Proto-Cyber Dragon" in your Deck and Side Deck combined.
- If you Special Summon this card you can activate "Inferno Reckless Summon" and Special Summon "Cyber Dragon" from your Deck.
- You can use "Machine Duplication" and "Proto-Cyber Dragon" to Special Summon up to 2 "Cyber Dragons" from your Deck. (provided "Proto-Cyber Dragon's" ATK is lowered below 500.)
- While this card is face-up on the field, it can be used as "Cyber Dragon" for a Fusion Summon.
- If "Proto-Cyber Dragon" is used in the Fusion Summon of "Cyber Twin Dragon", and "De-Fusion" is used on that "Cyber Twin Dragon", you cannot Special Summon the "Proto-Cyber Dragon" from the Graveyard because its name is not 1 of the listed Fusion Material Monsters. (It's no longer treated as "Cyber Dragon" while in the Graveyard.)
- If “Prohibition” is activated choosing “Cyber Dragon”, “Proto-Cyber Dragon” will not have its name treated as “Cyber Dragon” and can still attack and change its battle position.
