Mentions in Other Rulings
- Kasha: If non-Zombie-Type monsters that are treated as Zombies by "Zombie World" are returned to the Deck by "Kasha" they do not count towards its ATK.
- Metaphysical Regeneration: "Zombie World" will change all Psychic-Type monsters into Zombie-Type monsters, including in the Graveyard, so any Psychic-Type monsters sent to the Graveyard will be Zombie-Type monsters instead, and will not count for "Metaphysical Regeneration". (In fact, you cannot activate "Metaphysical Regeneration" in that case.)
- Solidarity: If non-Zombie-Type monsters in the Graveyard are being treated as Zombie-Type due to "Zombie World", the ATK boost will not apply.
OCG Rulings
- The monster's Type is checked when it is in the hand. That is, even though a non-Zombie-Type monster will be a Zombie-Type monster when it's on the field, you cannot Tribute Summon it, since it is not a Zombie-Type monster when it is in your hand.[1]
- If the monster targeted by "Paladin of the Cursed Dragon"'s effect is not an Zombie-Type monster when the effect resolves, then his effect resolves without effect. For example, if "Mystical Space Typhoon" is chained to the effect and destroys "Zombie World", then "Paladin of the Cursed Dragon"'s effect resolves without effect.[2]
- "Paladin of the Cursed Dragon" can Summon a monster affected by "Zombie World", even if the monster was not Zombie-Type when it was destroyed by battle.[3]
- If the Zombie-Type monster targeted by an effect like "Book of Life" or "Mezuki" or "Zombie Master" is not a Zombie-Type monster at resolution - for example, "Mystical Space Typhoon" was chained and destroyed "Zombie World" - then the effect which Special Summons the monster from the Graveyard is not applied. Also, for "Book of Life", its effect which removes from play one card in your opponent's Graveyard is still applied.[4]
- Vs. "DNA Surgery": Which ever card is activates last has its effect applied (although "Zombie World" will continue to affect the Graveyard and prevent Tribute Summons). Also, if "DNA Surgery" is activated after "Zombie World", then Tribute Summoning an originally Zombie-Type monster is still allowed (even though it is a non-Zombie-Type monster when it is on the field).[5]
- While the effect of "Zombie World" is applied, when a Psychic-Type monster is sent to the Graveyard, it is a Zombie-Type monster while in the Graveyard. Because of this, it is treated as a Zombie-Type monster being sent to the Graveyard, so the monster will not be included in the effect of "Metaphysical Regeneration".[6]
- If "Zombie World" or "DNA Surgery" is turning all monsters on the field into Zombie-Type monsters while "Archfiend Zombie-Skull" is on the field, then if "Black Rose Dragon" is Special Summoned and its effect activates, then "Black Rose Dragon" is not destroyed and remains on the field because it is treated as a Zombie-Type monster, even though "Archfiend Zombie-Skull" and "Zombie World" would be destroyed simultaneously.[7]
