OCG Rulings[]
- The effect of "Prime Material Dragon" can negate the activation of a Continuous Spell/Trap Card's effect which destroys a monster on the field, such as "Blaze Accelerator" or "Skull Lair".[2]
- This effect cannot be activated by banishing more monsters than the Level of a monster on the field. This effect must be activated by banishing as many monsters as the Level of a monster on the field.[3]
- As long as you can banish a number of monsters from your Graveyard equal to the Level of a face-up monster on the field, this effect can be activated multiple times during the same turn. However, this effect cannot be activated more than once in the same chain.[4]
Previously Official Rulings[]
