Negate
From Yu-Gi-Oh!
To Negate a card, is to prevent a Card from activating and/or using its effect. Destroying a card is not the same as negating the card. Such card examples are:
- Using Seven Tools of the Bandit on Royal Decree
- Using Magic Jammer on Monster Reborn
- Using Trap Jammer on Mirror Force
- Using Skill Drain on Chaos Sorcerer
- Using Solemn Judgment, Horn of Heaven and Forced Back on the summoning of Jinzo
To negate an attack is to stop a battle from taking place and the attacking monster may not attack again (without the aid of an effect). Some examples are:
- Using Negate Attack, Draining Shield and Magic Cylinder when an opponent's monster attacks
- Sakuretsu Armor, Mirror Force and Dimensional Prison do not negate attacks. The attacking monster is removed from the field during the Battle Step and the attack ends.
