DW ruling


  • §             The following rulings apply to “Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World”, “Broww, Huntsman of Dark World”, “Sillva, Warlord of Dark World” and “Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World”.
    §             The effects of these cards are Trigger Effects that can be chained to.
    §             These effects only activate if the cards are discarded by a card effect. They will not activate if discarded for the cost of a card like “Lightning Vortex”, “Raigeki Break”, “Tribe-Infecting Virus”, or “Infernal Incinerator”. They will not activate if sent to the graveyard by a card effect like “Last Turn” or “Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End”.
    §             If these cards are discarded by your opponent’s card effect, both parts of their effects resolve in a single chain link. If “Divine Wrath” is chained to these effects, it will negate both parts.
    §             The effects of these cards activate in the Graveyard, so “Skill Drain” will not negate their effects.
    §             These effects can activate in the Damage Step, if discarded by the effect of a card like “Don Zaloog”.
    §             If these monsters are discarded by a card effect in the middle of a chain, or in the middle of a card effect like “Dragged Down into the Grave”, their effects will activate after the current chain resolves. They cannot miss the timing.
    §             If these cards are discarded from your hand by a card effect while "Macro Cosmos" is on the field, their effects will not activate because they were not discarded to the Graveyard.
    Mentions in Other Rulings
    §             Dark World Lightning: Discarding 1 card is part of the effect of “Dark World Lightning”, it is not a cost. (So you can use it to activate the effects of “Dark World” monsters, for example.)
    §             Full Salvo: If you send a “Dark World” monster to the Graveyard for the effect of “Full Salvo”, its effects do not activate because it was not “discarded”.
    §             Gateway to Dark World: This card targets 1 “Dark World” monster in your Graveyard.
    §             The Forces of Darkness: “The Forces of Darkness” targets 2 “Dark World” monsters in the Graveyard. If “Disappear” is chained to remove from play 1 of the targeted monsters, the other 1 is still returned to your hand.
