RULING - ULTIMO AGGIORNAMENTO 27 GIUGNO 2007
Questo effetto è Continuo. Questa carta non impedisce l'attivazione degli effetti di mostri che permettono pescate, come “Parshath Cavaliere Volante” o "Giara Trasformante", nè di carte che non causano pescate in Risoluzione, come "Miraggio dell'Incubo", "Trappola Appropriata" o "Azzardo" ma questi effetti si Risolveranno ugualmente, impedendo soltanto al tuo avversario di pescare. Questa carta impedisce ad entrambi i giocatori l'attivazione di carte che obbligherebbero il tuo avversario a Pescare in Risoluzione, come "Strategia di Disturbo", “Trascinato nella Tomba”, "Distruggi Carte", o "Corruzione Oscura". Il tuo avversario può attivare carte come "Recupera Mostri", “Ricarica” o "Giara della Cupidigia" in Draw Phase.
OFFICIAL RULING - LAST UPDATE JUNE 27, 2007
Your opponent cannot draw with "Airknight Parshath" while you control "Protector of the Sanctuary".
Most cards that would cause the opponent to draw outside of the Draw Phase, such as "Card Destruction", cannot be activated, even by the controller of "Protector of the Sanctuary". However, effects that are forcibly activated, like "Morphing Jar", can be activated (but results may vary; see below).
If "Protector of the Sanctuary" is on the field, then Flip Effects like "Morphing Jar" will still activate because they must activate when the monster is flipped (whether it was Flip Summoned, flipped by an attack, or flipped by "Book of Taiyou", etc.).
If "Morphing Jar"'s effect activates, then both players discard their hands, but if you control "Protector of the Sanctuary", your opponent does not draw a new hand.
You cannot activate cards if they make your opponent draw, such as "Dragged Down Into the Grave", "Card Destruction", or "Disturbance Strategy".
"Protector of the Sanctuary" prevents your opponent from drawing with "Mirage of Nightmare". However, your opponent can still activate "Mirage of Nightmare", "Appropriate", etc., even though he cannot use their effects at that time.
If you control "Protector of the Sanctuary", your opponent cannot activate "Super Rejuvenation", "Jar Robber", "Monster Recovery", or "Reload" outside of the Draw Phase.
If you control "Protector of the Sanctuary", your opponent CAN activate "Reload", "Jar of Greed", "Reckless Greed", etc., during the Draw Phase (either player's).
If you have "Protector of the Sanctuary", your opponent can activate cards like "Gamble" that are random as to whether he can draw, but he cannot draw even if he wins the coin toss.
You can chain "Call of the Haunted" to a card effect that would make your opponent draw, and if you Special Summon "Protector of the Sanctuary", your opponent does not draw.
If you have "Protector of the Sanctuary" and your "Bistro Butcher" inflicts damage to your opponent, your opponent doesn't draw.
You cannot activate "Heavy Slump" while you control a face-up "Protector of the Sanctuary".
If "Call of the Haunted" is chained to "Reckless Greed" to Special Summon "Protector of the Sanctuary", you cannot draw for the effect of "Reckless Greed" because of the "Protector of the Sanctuary", so you do not draw and you do not skip 2 Draw Phases.
If "Call of the Haunted" is chained to "Disturbance Strategy" to Special Summon "Protector of the Sanctuary", your opponent adds his hand to the Deck and shuffles it by the effect of "Disturbance Strategy", but "Protector of the Sanctuary" prevents him from drawing.
If "Call of the Haunted" is chained to "Upstart Goblin" to Special Summon "Protector of the Sanctuary", you cannot draw 1 card and your opponent does not gain 1000 Life Points.
If "Call of the Haunted" is chained to "Reload" to Special Summon "Protector of the Sanctuary", your opponent adds his hand to his Deck and shuffles it, but "Protector of the Sanctuary" prevents him from drawing.
If "Call of the Haunted" is chained to "Graceful Charity" to Special Summon "Protector of the Sanctuary", you cannot draw for the effect of "Graceful Charity" and you do not discard 2 cards.
If "Call of the Haunted" is chained to "Mind Wipe" to Special Summon "Protector of the Sanctuary", your opponent adds his hand to the Deck and shuffles, but cannot draw any cards.
RULING FROM JUDGES FORUM - LAST UPDATE NOVEMBER 20, 2008
•Book of Eclipse: You can activate "Book of Eclipse" while you control a face-up "Protector of the Sanctuary". The act of drawing cards is not a certainty and does not occur when "Book of Eclipse" resolves.
•Cup of Ace: "Cup of Ace" can be activated while "Protector of the Sanctuary" is face-up on the field, because determining who draws cards is random. The player affected by "Protector of the Sanctuary" will be unable to draw. If I have "Protector of the Sanctuary" face-up on my side of the field and I activate "Cup of Ace", when the coin toss result is "tails" my opponent will not be able to draw 2 cards.
•Dark Bribe: If you control "Protector of the Sanctuary", you would only be able to activate "Dark Bribe" during your opponent's Draw Phase because that is the only time they could draw a card with "Dark Bribe's" effect.
