TCG RulingsEdit

• This card’s effect cannot be used during the Damage Step.^[1]

• If the “Scrap” monster is destroyed while face-down, you can’t activate Scrap Searcher’s effect.^[1]

• The effect to destroy all your face-up monsters except for “Scrap” monsters activates no matter how Scrap Searcher is Special Summoned.^[1]

• The “Scrap” monster that is destroyed must be a “Scrap” monster in the Graveyard as well as on the field. That means you can’t use it when a Phantom of Chaos that’s copying a “Scrap” monster is destroyed.^[1]

• If you Special Summon Scrap Searcher to your opponent’s side of the field with Scrap Golem, your opponent’s face-up monsters will be destroyed, except for “Scrap” monsters.^[1]

OCG RulingsEdit

• During the Damage Step, you cannot activate this card's effect which Special Summons itself.^[2]

• You can use the effect of "Scrap Golem" to Special Summon a "Scrap Searcher" to your opponent's side of the field. In that case, all of your opponent's monsters will be destroyed. Your ("Scrap Searcher"'s original owner's) monsters will not be destroyed.^[3]

• If the "Scrap" monster is destroyed while face-down, then you can't activate "Scrap Searcher"'s effect.^[4]

• The "Scrap" monster that is destroyed must be a "Scrap" monster in the Graveyard as well as on the field.^[5]
  • Example: Suppose that "Phantom of Chaos" is copying a "Scrap" monster, and is destroyed. It is no longer a "Scrap" monster when in the Graveyard, so you cannot activate the effect of "Scrap Searcher".^[5]
