Happy New Year from DS and ORCS rulings!

Hi guys! This is DSummon here and here's wishing everyone a Happy New Year! 2011 has been a really busy year for me especially, what with completing my studies, busy with work, while juggling that with organising the Singapore YGO Asia Plus qualifiers, luckily joining the players at Amsterdam and Taiwan for the Worlds and Regional finals. Really wish I had more time for the blog and Youtube channel, but guess it can't be helped. I look to be as busy in 2012 as I am still stuck with another busy year at work, organising the YGO Asia Regional Championships here in Singapore and more.

Ah well, here's looking to a another good year ahead and I wish the same to all our readers! Same as Baha, I hope to come up with more interesting deck ideas and set spoilers while providing more event coverage! (Hint hint Konami, more overseas judging trips for me please, even though its tiring LOL)

Moving on, finally found some time to do the customary rulings taken from the Japanese Wiki for Order of Chaos. Non Japanese readers can see card effects from Shriek. Interested readers may click on.

Disclaimer: As always, these ruling translations from the Japanese Wikia are accurate as of the date of this post, which is 1 January. If there are any updates after that, will not take responsiblity for them. Also, if I did not mention the ruling here, either there is no ruling question for the card or the answer is not confirmed. Meaning the famous 3 word answer of 调整中

Kuribolt
- If there are no copies of this card left in your deck, you cannot activate it's effect
- The removal of exceed materials and special summoning effect are at the same timing

Gagaga Girl
- You can activate it's level copy effect multiple times each turn
- If you exceed this card with another Gagaga monster to exceed summon Gemknight Pearl, Gemknight pearl becomes an effect monster as it gains the effect through Gagaga Girl
- Its level copy effect maintains even after end phase
- If you exceed using multiple copies of Gagaga Girls, you can choose to activate its attack dropping effect the same number of times as the number of Gagaga Girls used
- Even if Phantom of Chaos which has copied Gagaga Girl's effect is used as an exceed material, the exceed monster will not gain the attack dropping effect
- If Gagaga Girl is used as an exceed material with Phantom of Chaos which has copied Gagaga Magician's name, the exceed monster will gain the attack dropping effect

Gogogo Giant
- If Gogogo Giant's effect cannot resolve as the selected monster is no longer in grave, Gogogo Giant will not turn to defense mode

ZW - Unicorn King Spear
- Its equip effect is an activated effect which can be negated by Divine Wrath. The remainder effects is treated as an equipment card effect and not a monster effect
- When resolving the equip effect, if the selected monster is no longer face up on the field, the card is sent to grave as an equipment card.
- Even if Chain Energy is on the field, you do not have to pay any life points to use its equip effect.
- If ZW - Unicorn King Spear is equipped to Relinquished through Relinquished's effect, Relinquished will gain the battle phase effect nullification effect.

Shaktopus
- Its equipping effect does not target

Reverse Buster
- It may not direct attack
- While Skill Drain is activated and Reverse Buster directly attacks the opponent and Skill Drain is then destroyed by another card's effect, a replay of attack step ensues. If there is no legal targets for Reverse Buster, it's attack will be stopped.

Flame Armor Ninja / Air Armor Ninja
- It's effect may be activated even during damage step

Aqua Armor Ninja
- Its attack nullification effect targets

Inzektor Hornet
- It's equipping effect is an activated effect, the remainder effects are not considered to be monster effects but ruling effects
- Sending itself to grave to activate it's effect is a cost
- When Hornet is equipped and it's effect is activated, as it is not a monster effect, you cannot use Divine Wrath in response
- When you activate Hornet's effect while it is equipped, it cannot be negated by My Body as a Shield, Destruction Jammer or Horus the Black Flame Dragon Lv8
- Hornet's destruction effect can destroy a Vyron Alpha that is equipped
- Even if End of Anubis or Koa'ki Meiru Devil is on the field, Hornet may still activate it's effect

Inzektor Centipede
- It's search effect cannot be activated in the damage step
- After it's equipped card is sent to grave, it's search effect is activated in a separate chain block
- After the effect card is sent to grave, if Centipede is not face up on the field, it's effect cannot be activated
- When an equipment magic is activated on this card and on chain MST is activated to destroy the equipment magic, Centipede's trigger effect cannot be activated

Inzector Damsel (Dragonfly sounds weird some how)
- You may not activate it's special summoning effect during the damage step
- After it's equipped card is sent to grave, it's special summoning effect is activated in a separate chain block (e.g. If you use Hornet's effect, that chain block fully resolves first before Damsel's effect is activated)
- If Damsel is targeted by Book of Moon or Raigeki Break and MST is chained to destroy Damsel's equipment, Damsel is not face up at the end of the chain so you cannot activate it's special summoning effect
- If you activate Hornet's effect while it is equipped on Damsel, then chain using Variable Form to equip Damsel to another Inzector, you cannot activate Damsel's special summoning effect
- If Damsel is not face up on the field when Damsel is triggering it's special summoning effect, it's effect will not resolve and you may not special summon from the deck
- (Notable 调整中) If you chain Enemy Controller and change control of Damsel when the equipment magic is being sent to grave (e.g. Hornet), which player gets Damsel's effect is unconfirmed
- When an equipment magic is activated on this card and on chain MST is activated to destroy the equipment magic, Centipede's trigger effect cannot be activated
- When Damsel is destroyed at the same time as it's equipment (e.g. Black Rose Dragon), it's effect may not be activated
- If multiple equipment cards on Damsel are destroyed at the same time (e.g. by Heavy Storm), you may only special once
- If Hornet and another equipment card is equipped on Damsel and you use Hornet's effect to destroy the other equipment card, you may special summon twice (Due to the equipments going to grave at different times, shoot Giga-Mantis for love)
- If Obsidian Dragon is on the field and equipment magic is used on Damsel, it is treated as the equipment has been successfully equipped before it is sent to grave.

Inzector Giga-Mantis / Inzector Giga-Weevil
- This card's equipping effect is an activated effect, it's special summoning effect is a trigger effect
- Even if the selected monster has another equipment card on it other then Giga-Mantis, apply all attack/defense changes. (E.g. Equipped with Hornet and Giga-Mantis makes the monster 2900 attack)
- When the equipped monster is destroyed, you may not activate Giga-Mantis' effect
- When Giga-Mantis as an equipment is destroyed at the same time as the equipped monster (e.g. Black Rose Dragon), it's effect may be activated
- It's special summoning effect may be activated in the damage step (Note: If the equipment, Giga-Mantis is destroyed. This has nothing to do with the equipped monster dying due to battle)
- If you activate it's equipping effect and the selected monster is not face up on the field at resolution, Giga-Mantis is sent to grave
- If this card's equipping effect is negated by Divine Wrath, it is sent to grave
- If this card's equipping effect is negated by Light and Darkness Dragon, it remains in hand (Infinite loop pro)

Masked Ninja - Ebisu
- If at resolution there are no cards to return to hand at the same amount as the number of Ninjas on the field, Ebisu's effect cannot be applied. (E.g. Opponent's MST is chained and that MST is already marked to go to grave, since it can't go hand, Ebisu's effect cannot be applied)

Trance Archfiend
- It's effect may be activated during the damage step
- (Notable, though not mentioned in the rulings segment but mentioned in the description segment) The discard is not a cost but an effect, therefore it works with Dark World

Twin Photon Lizard
- You may use Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon as one of the fusion materials
- It's effect does not target
- During effect resolution, if 1 of the fusion materials is no longer in the grave, the remainder fusion materials cannot be summoned

Number C39: Utopia Ray (Still wondering if there's anything wrong with a perfectly nice name like Hope)
- The materials under Number 39: Utopia will be overlaid together with Utopia itself as exceed materials for Utopia Ray
- Phantom of Chaos with the name copied to be Number 39: Utopia may be used as an exceed material for Utopia Ray
- It's effect does not target
- Even if there is no monster on the opponent's field, you may still activate it's effect. In that situation you only apply the attack adding effect
- Even if the opponent's monster's attack is less then 1000, you may still apply Utopia Ray's effect and make it 0. You can also apply it's effect on a monster that's attack is already 0.
- If Utopia Ray is not face up on the field at resolution, its attack reducing effect cannot be applied

Evolkaiser Solde

Inzector Exa-Beetle
- Even if 1 of the selected targets is no longer on field during resolution, the other target is still sent to grave

Ninjitsu Art of Super Transformation
- The original level of the card when it enters grave is used
- As exceed monsters do not have a level, they cannot be selected for this card's effect (Notable since I have seen a lot of people use this card wrongly)
- Either of the selected monsters can be a monster token (Assuming you can fit the condition for the token to have the name Ninja), but its level is not considered as it only considers the level when the monster enters grave
- The Ninja as well as the selected monster must both be face up to activate this card

And thats it! I know I skipped Photon Shockwave but was busy that period and I think there was nothing really specific about that pack that needed effect clarifications. Anyway, hope this post has helped!
