  • Name: Becomes “Red Dragon Archfiend” while on the field or in the GY.
  • Ignition (once per turn): Destroy as many Special Summoned Effect Monsters on the field as possible with ATK less than or equal to this card’s (other than this card), then inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each monster destroyed.

Rulings in plain English

Counts as: A “Red Dragon Archfiend” monster and an “Archfiend” monster.

On resolution: It must still be face-up in the Monster Zone, or nothing happens. ATK is checked then. Face-down monsters aren’t destroyed.

Order: Destroy first, then damage if at least one was destroyed. Not simultaneous.
