MAGIA TERRENO / FIELD SPELL

SPELL SPEED 1 • Rara / Rare • Cod. 34487429

RULING - ULTIMO AGGIORNAMENTO 14 AGOSTO 2007
Solo il Controllore di questa carta può usare questi effetti. Questi effetti sono Cumulabili, quindi se controlli 4 "Bestia Cristallo" come Carta Magia, questa carta ottiene tutti gli effetti tranne l'ultimo. Il primo effetto è Continuo e, se è attivo, questa carta può essere bersagliata da effetti che la distruggerebbero, come "Tifone Spaziale Mistico" o "Mobius il Monarca Glaciale", ma non verrà distrutta; anche se viene attivato un effetto che distrugge più carte, come "Tempesta Potente" o "Demise, Re dell'Armageddon" non sarà possibile distruggere questa carta. Anche se controlli almeno 1 "Bestia Cristallo" quando attivi questa carta, sarà ugualmente possibile distruggerla in catena alla sua attivazione con carte come "Tifone Spaziale Mistico". Anche se questo effetto è attivo, questa carta viene comunque distrutta se un giocatore attiva un'altra Magia Terreno in quanto sarà distrutta da una meccanica di gioco e non da un effetto. Il secondo effetto è Continuo. Il terzo effetto si considera Spell Speed 2 e può essere attivato più volte nella stessa catena. Mandare una "Bestia Cristallo" al Cimitero è il Costo di Attivazione. Il quarto effetto va in catena e può essere usato solo 1 volta per Turno, anche se successivamente cambia il numero di "Bestia Cristallo". Il quinto effetto va in catena e designa un Bersaglio. Se attivi uno degli effetti numero 2, 3 o 4, ma il numero di "Bestia Cristallo" necessario non è pù corretto in catena, quell'effetto scompare. Il quinto effetto designa un bersaglio.
OFFICIAL RULING - LAST UPDATE SEPTEMBER 27, 2007
These effects are cumulative. For example, if you have 4 or more "Crystal Beast" monsters in your Spell & Trap Card Zone, this card gets all of these effects except the last one.
Only the controller of this card can use these effects.
If this card’s first effect, “This card cannot be destroyed by a card effect.” is active, this card can be targeted by “Mystical Space Typhoon,” etc., but this card will not be destroyed.
If you control this card and have at least 1 “Crystal Beast” in your Spell & Trap Card Zones, and they would all be destroyed at the same time then “Ancient City – Rainbow Ruins” is not destroyed.
This card’s effects are not applied until its activation is resolved. If you have 1 "Crystal Beast" monster in your Spell & Trap Card Zones when you activate this card, and your opponent Chains “Mystical Space Typhoon,” etc., this card will be destroyed.
This card will be destroyed if your opponent plays a Field Spell Card, even if the effect “This card cannot be destroyed by a card effect.” is active.
If “Crystal Beast” monsters in your Spell & Trap Card Zones are destroyed in a Chain to the activation of any of this card’s effects that can be chained to, then this card’s effect is not applied. The correct number of “Crystal Beast” monsters must be in your Spell & Trap Card Zones when the effect resolves.
This card’s effect “Once per turn, you can halve the Battle Damage you take.” does not start a Chain. You choose whether or not to activate it during Damage Calculation, when you would take Battle Damage.
This card’s effect “You can send 1 "Crystal Beast" monster you control to the Graveyard to negate the activation of a Spell or Trap Card and destroy it.” is activated in a Chain to a Spell or Trap Card. It is treated as Spell Speed 2, so you cannot Chain this effect to a Counter-Trap Card. You can activate it multiple times in the same Chain. Sending a “Crystal Beast” monster you control to the Graveyard is a cost to activate this effect.
This card’s effect “Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can draw 1 card.” starts a Chain. It can only be used once a turn, even if the number of “Crystal Beast” cards in your Spell & Trap Card Zones becomes less than 4, and then becomes 4 or more again after you have used it in a given turn.
This card’s effect “Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can Special Summon 1 "Crystal Beast" card from your Spell & Trap Card Zone” starts a Chain. It targets 1 “Crystal Beast” card in your Spell & Trap Card Zones.
RULING FROM JUDGE FORUM - LAST UPDATE FEBRUARY 13, 2008
•: It isn't possible to activate "3+ C.B. - negate spell/trap" effect in the Damage Step.
•: When you activate the effect to Special Summon a Crystal Beast from the Spell and Trap Card Zone, "Solemn Judgment" and "Horn of Heaven" cannot be activated. "Horn of Heaven" cannot negate the effects of Spell Cards, and "Solemn Judgment" can only negate Spell Cards when they are activated (placed face-up onto the field or flipped face-up), not when you activate the effect of a Spell Card that's been around on the field for a while (Field Spell Card, in this case). "Royal Oppression" can be chained to negate the effect of "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins", but it will fail to destroy it because it is protected by its first effect.
•Judgment of Anubis: You cannot chain "Judgment of Anubis" to the activation of "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" or chain to the activation of the 3rd effect. When "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" is activated, it doesn't actually do anything. It just secures its place on the field. Afterwards its effects become active, depending upon the number of Crystal Beasts. It isn't possible to respond to the activation of its "3+ C.B. - negate spell/trap" effect with "Judgment of Anubis", just like it isn't possible to respond with "Magic Jammer" when the player activates the "4+ C.B. - card draw" effect.
OFFICIAL RULING - CROSS REFERENCE
•FIELD BARRIER: This card only prevents the activation of Field Spell Cards themselves. The effects of a Field Spell Card already on the field (like “Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins”) can still be activated while this card is in play.
•LAST RESORT: This card is resolved as follows: First, select 1 “Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins” from your Deck and place it in your Field Spell Card Zone, then your opponent’s Field Spell Card is destroyed and they draw one card.
•LAST RESORT: You can activate “Last Resort” while you have a Field Spell Card in your Field Spell Card Zone. When “Last Resort” resolves, the Field Spell Card in your Field Spell Card Zone is destroyed and “Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins” is placed into your Field Spell Card Zone.
•LIGHT AND DARKNESS DRAGON: “Light and Darkness Dragon” cannot negate the activation of the Ignition-like effect of Continuous Spell or Trap Cards (“Ultimate Offering”, etc.) or Field Spell Cards (“Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins”, etc.). “Light and Darkness Dragon’s” second effect activates when a Spell or Trap Card is first activated (placed face-up onto the field or flipped face-up).
