RULING - ULTIMO AGGIORNAMENTO 9 SETTEMBRE 2007
Questo effetto si applica all'ATK Attuale del mostro Equipaggiato e considerando sempre i Life Points del giocatore che controlla questa carta (anche se equipaggi un mostro avversario). L'ATK va ricalcolato quando necessario. Questo effetto non è cumulabile. "Inverti Trappola" non influenza questo effetto. Se entrambi i giocatori hanno gli stessi Life Points, l'ATK del mostro non cambia. Un mostro con ATK "?" si considera 0. Per ulteriori ruling vedi "Shrink".
OFFICIAL RULING - LAST UPDATE SEPTEMBER 9, 2007
"Megamorph" changes the current ATK of the monster it is equipped to. It calculates a new current ATK by half or doubling the equipped monster’s original ATK.
Having multiple "Megamorphs" equipped to a monster is the same as having one.
"Megamorph" is always recalculating with every change in Life Points. For example, your "Jirai Gumo" is equipped with "Megamorph" and you have 8000 Life Points compared to your 7000. You declare an attack with "Jirai Gumo" and lose the coin toss, losing 4000 Life Points. Now "Jirai Gumo"’s ATK is doubled before Damage Calculation.
When Life Points are equal the equipped monster’s ATK is unchanged.
You may equip "Megamorph" to your opponent’s monster, but ‘your Life Points’ refers to the controller of "Megamorph". So if you have more Life Points than your opponent, your opponent’s monster equipped with "Megamorph" has its ATK halved.RULING FROM JUDGES FORUM - LAST UPDATE OCTOBER 11, 2007
•: "Shrink" and "Megamorph" don't just erase previous gains/loses of ATK. Gains/loses of ATK need to be reapplied after halving/doubling the original ATK to create the new current ATK.
OFFICIAL RULING - CROSS REFERENCE
•ADHESION TRAP HOLE: If a monster affected by "Adhesion Trap Hole" is then equipped with "Megamorph", only "Megamorph"'s effect applies.
•AMAZONESS SPELLCASTER: If you switch ATKs with "Amazoness Spellcaster", and one of the monsters is equipped with "Megamorph", after the switch, you change the ATK of the monster that is equipped with "Megamorph" using the effect of "Megamorph". With "Shield & Sword", since these are both Normal Spell Cards, you resolve them in the order of their activation, and recalculate their ATKs in that order.
•ARSENAL BUG: If you equip "Megamorph" to "Arsenal Bug" then its ATK will be 4000 or 1000, depending on "Megamorph"’s effect.
•BEHEMOTH THE KING OF ALL ANIMALS: If you Tribute Summon this card with 1 Tribute and equip it with "Megamorph", its current ATK will become 4000 or 1000, depending on Life Points.
•BLACK GARDEN: If a monster has its ATK halved by "Black Garden", and afterwards it is equipped with "Megamorph", its ATK will be equal to double its original ATK. If "Megamorph" is later negated or removed from the field, the monster's ATK will return to half its ATK (the same as it was before “Megamorph” was equipped).
•CHAOS NECROMANCER: If "Chaos Necromancer" is equipped with "Megamorph", its ATK is zero, but if "Megamorph" leaves play, recalculate the ATK of "Chaos Necromancer" using his effect.
•EMBODIMENT OF APOPHIS: “Embodiment of Apophis”, while a monster, has original ATK 1600 and original DEF 1800 (for purposes of “Megamorph”, etc.).
•FUSILIER DRAGON, THE DUAL-MODE BEAST: If you Summon without Tribute and equip this card with "Megamorph", it's current ATK will become 2800 or 700, depending on your Life Points.
•GOBLIN KING: If you equip "Megamorph" to "Goblin King", "Goblin King"'s ATK is 0.
•GREN MAJU DA EIZA: If "Gren Maju Da Eiza" is equipped with "Megamorph", its ATK is zero, but if "Megamorph" leaves play, recalculate its ATK using its effect.
•KARATE MAN: If Karate Man is equipped with Megamorph, and Megamorph is halving Karate Man's ATK, and you use Karate Man's effect, Karate Man's ATK is 2000. If you use Karate Man's effect, and THEN equip him with Megamorph after that, and Megamorph would halve his ATK, then his ATK is 500.
•KING OF THE SKULL SERVANTS: If the number of “Skull Servant” and “King of the Skull Servants” cards in your Graveyard changes, re-calculate the original ATK of “King of the Skull Servants”. If it is equipped with "Megamorph" you would then re-apply the effect of "Megamorph".
•KING OF THE SKULL SERVANTS: If you have 2 "Skull Servant" cards in your Graveyard (original ATK 2000), and you equip this card with "Megamorph", its current ATK will become either 4000 or 1000, depending on your Life Points.
•LEGENDARY FIEND: When "Legendary Fiend" is equipped with "Megamorph", first double or halve its original ATK and then reapply the ATK gain.
•MAJU GARZETT: Maju Garzett's ATK will be 0 if you Special Summon it, or Tribute Summon it with a monster with "?" ATK (such as "Gradius' Option" or another "Maju Garzett"), or Tribute Summon it with only 1 Tribute using "Cost Down", or equip it with "Megamorph", or if it's flipped face-down and then face-up again, or if you Tribute Summon it with Mirage Tokens, or if you remove it from play with "Dimensionhole" and it returns to the field.
•MEGAROCK DRAGON: If you Special Summon “Mega-Rock Dragon” with an original ATK of 2100 points, and you equip it with “Megamorph”, its current ATK will become 4200 or 1050 depending on your Life Points.
•OBNOXIOUS CELTIC GUARD: Obnoxious Celtic Guard’s effect looks at current ATK, not original ATK. So a monster with 1000 original ATK equipped with "Megamorph" to make it 2000 ATK will not destroy "Obnoxious Celtic Guard" as a result of battle.
•POWER BOND: If you equip the monster Special Summoned by "Power Bond" with "Megamorph", the ATK gained from "Power Bond" disappears but the damage is still inflicted in the End Phase.
•SAND MOTH: After “Sand Moth” is Special Summoned by its own effect, if you equip it with “Megamorph” you will either halve or double its new (2000) original ATK.
•SHRINK: The effect of "Shrink" works like "Megamorph", setting a new current ATK based on original ATK. If the same monster is targeted by both "Shrink" and "Megamorph", only the effect of the card that resolved last will be applied.
•TWIN-HEADED BEHEMOTH: When "Twin-Headed Behemoth" is Special Summoned by its own effect and is equipped with "Megamorph" it is the original ATK/DEF that is doubled or halved. (ATK 3000 / DEF 2400 if doubled, ATK 750 / DEF 600 if halved)
•TYRANNO INFINITY: If “Tyranno Infinity” is equipped with “Megamorph” and the number of removed from play Dinosaurs changes, first change the original ATK of “Tyranno Infinity”, and then double or halve that value to calculate its current ATK for “Megamorph”.
• TWIN-SHIELD DEFENDER: If "Shrink" or "Megamorph" is activated after "Twin-Shield Defender's" effect resolves, "Twin-Shield Defender's" effect disappears. Example 1: If "Sangan's" ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender" to 500 ATK and afterwards its original ATK is halved by "Shrink", it will have 500 ATK. Example 2: If "Sangan's" ATK is halved by "Twin-Shield Defender" to 500 ATK and afterwards it is equipped with "Megamorph", it will have 500 ATK or 2000 ATK (depending on Life Points).
• UNSTABLE EVOLUTION: If the equipped monster is also equipped with "Megamorph", first determine its new original ATK due to "Unstable Evolution" and then halve or double it with "Megamorph".
