Explained
Special Summon it from your hand when your opponent activates a monster effect or attacks. On the field, when your opponent activates a monster effect or during damage calculation of their attack, add or summon "Dark Magician" or a 300 ATK/200 DEF monster from your Deck or GY, then you can make that opponent's monster's ATK 0.
In Kuriboh and Dark Magician decks as an interruption on your opponent's turn that also finds another card.
- Using the summon effect in the Damage Step. It can't be activated then.
- Expecting to zero the ATK without first adding or summoning a monster.
How it works
- From the hand (Quick): When your opponent activates a monster effect, or an opponent’s monster declares an attack, Special Summon this card. Once per turn.
- On the field (Quick, once per turn): When your opponent activates a monster effect on the field, or during damage calculation when an opponent’s monster attacks, add to your hand or Special Summon 1 “Dark Magician” or 1 monster with 300 ATK/200 DEF from your Deck or GY. Then you can change that opponent’s monster’s ATK to 0.
When to use it
Both effects can happen in the same turn: summon it in response to your opponent, then use its field effect to get a Dark Magician or another Kuriboh-stat monster and shrink their monster.
Rulings in plain English
First effect: Activate it when an opponent’s monster declares an attack, or chained directly to a monster effect your opponent activates. Not in the Damage Step.
Second effect: Usable during damage calculation of an opponent’s attack, or chained directly to a monster effect they activate on the field. The ATK change only happens if the add or summon succeeded, and it happens after, not at the same time.
