Trickstar Candina Database Rulings

Post #1 by Monarch Snow » Sat Nov 18, 2017 4:53 am

NOTE: What I say In these FAQs is NOT official, BUT it is usually correct since I uses references that can help prove these statement correct. I've personally gone out of the way to make sure everything stated was from the database, except for bullet #4. That aside, I hope you look forward to reading this article.
WARNING: This will be SUPER LONG. Don't forget to admire this ugly rainbow and give it a reputation point xD.

①: When this card is Normal Summoned: You can add 1 "Trickstar" card from your Deck to your hand. ②: Each time your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card, inflict 200 damage to them immediately after it resolves.

RULINGS

①: The first effect of "Trickstar" Candina is a Trigger Effect. It does NOT target a Trickstar card(s) in the Main Deck. The effect is Spell Speed 1 and it starts a chain.

②: The Trigger Effect of "Trickstar Candina" cannot be activated if you do NOT possess a "Trickstar" card in your Main Deck.

③: The second effect of "Trickstar Candina" is a Continuous Effect. It does NOT start a chain and this effect can even be applied during the Damage Step.

④: The Continuous Effect of "Trickstar Candina" applies immediately once a Spell/Trap Card activated by the opponent finishes resolving, not immediately when the Spell/Trap Card is activated. Example: Player A controls a face-up "Trickstar Candina". Player B activates "Upstart Goblin" as CL1. Once the chain is completed, "Trickstar Candina" will apply inflicting 200 damage to the opponent.

⑦:
Q: Trickstar Candina is face-up in my Monster Zone, Trickstar Lightstage is face-up in my Field Zone, and Dark Room of Nightmare is face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone. In this situation, if my opponent activates Pot of Duality, how does the effect of each card apply?

A: In this scenario, after your opponent’s Pot of Desires resolves, the effect of Trickstar Candina is immediately applied and inflicts 200 damage to your opponent. By doing so, the effect of Trickstar Lightstage is then applied and inflicts another 200 damage to your opponent. Afterward, since both Trickstar Candina and Trickstar Lightstage inflicted damage to your opponent, the effect of Dark Room of Nightmare will activate twice in a new Chain.

⑨:
Q: Trickstar Candina is face-up in my Monster Zone. In this situation, if my opponent activates multiple Spell/Trap Cards in a single Chain, for example Jar of Greed as Chain Link 1, Secret Barrel as Chain Link 2, and Chain Strike as Chain Link 3, how is the effect of Trickstar Candina applied?

A: In this scenario, as soon as each Spell/Trap Card resolves, the effect of Trickstar Candina is applied immediately. That is, once Chain Strike resolves, the effect of Trickstar Candina inflicts 200 damage to your opponent, then when Secret Barrel resolves, it inflicts another 200 damage to your opponent, and lastly after Jar of Greed resolves, the effect applies once again.
