RULING - ULTIMO AGGIORNAMENTO 27 GIUGNO 2007
Questo effetto è Innescato. Mentre questa carta è attiva, entrambi i giocatori perdono la Priorità per attivare un eventuale effetto ad Ignizione del mostro evocato. Se evochi "Mobius il Monarca Glaciale", questo effetto è Anello 1 e quello del mostro Anello 2; quindi se distruggi questa carta, il mostro resterà in Posizione di Attacco. Un mostro evocato può comunque cambiare posizione tramite altri effetti nello stesso Turno. Se evochi "Clown del Sogno", il suo effetto si attiverà.
OFFICIAL RULING - LAST UPDATE JUNE 27, 2007
The effect of "Stumbling" goes on a chain immediately after a monster is Summoned. As a mandatory Trigger Effect, "Stumbling" is always on the chain before optional Trigger Effects ("Mobius the Frost Monarch") or chained Spell & Trap Cards ("Trap Hole").
"Stumbling" changes a monster to face-up Defense Position, not face-down Defense Position.
When "Stumbling" and "Final Attack Orders" are both active, a Summoned monster is changed to Defense Position, then changed to Attack Position.
If "Stumbling" is in effect and you Summon "Exiled Force", and your opponent has "Trap Hole" Set, "Stumbling" initiates a chain with "Stumbling"'s effect as Step 1. Your opponent can activate "Trap Hole" as Step 2. You cannot chain "Exiled Force" because its effect is Spell Speed 1. Therefore "Trap Hole" will destroy "Exiled Force" before you have a chance to Tribute it.
If "Dream Clown" is Summoned while "Stumbling" is active, and changed to Defense Position by "Stumbling"'s effect, "Dream Clown"'s effect activates after "Stumbling"'s effect resolves.
RULING FROM JUDGE FORUM - LAST UPDATE JANUARY 29, 2008
•All-Out Attack: The effects if "Stumbling" and "All-Out Attacks" would start a Chain. The results will depend on the order of effects on the Chain. First you have to determine the order of the Chain following the rules for Simultaneous Effects. Example 1: If the Turn Player controls "Stumbling" and the opponent controls "All-Out Attacks", when the Turn Player Special Summons their monster "Stumbling" will be Chain Link 1 and "All-Out Attacks" will be Chain Link 2. "All-Out Attacks" resolves first and shifts the monster into Attack Position. It also applies the "must attack, if able" effect. "Stumbling" would resolve next and shift the monster into Defense Position. Since it is now in Defense Position, it is unable to attack. (Unless it has the ability to attack, like "Total Defense Shogun"). Example 2: If the Turn Player controls "All-Out Attacks" and the opponent controls "Stumbling", when the Turn Player Special Summons their monster "All-Out Attacks" will be Chain Link 1 and "Stumbling" will be Chain Link 2. When the Chain resolves, "Stumbling" resolves first and shifts the monster into Defense Position. "All-Out Attacks" resolves next and shifts the monster into Attack Position. It also applies the "must attack, if able" effect. The monster is in Attack Position, so it is expected that it will attack.
OFFICIAL RULING - CROSS REFERENCE
•BERSERK GORILLA: If "Stumbling" and "Final Attack Orders" are both in play, and "Berserk Gorilla" is Summoned, "Berserk Gorilla" is destroyed when it is changed to Defense Position by "Stumbling".
•SPIRIT OF THE PHARAOH: If you have "Stumbling" on the field and "Spirit of the Pharaoh" is Special Summoned, his effect can be activated but it is a chain with "Stumbling" as Step 1 and "Spirit of the Pharaoh" as Step 2.
•TRAGEDY: You can activate "Tragedy" after an Attack Position monster is changed to Defense Position by a card effect, such as "Enemy Controller" or "Stumbling".
•VANITY'S CALL: Unless the activation of a card can be negated, the effect will not be negated either. So an effect like “Stumbling” on a chain will not be negated nor destroyed by “Vanity’s Call”.
