Dark Deal rulings

Question 1

Dark Deal — ruling 1

Accepted Answer

The text “Your opponent discards 1 random card” is read from the perspective of the Normal Spell Card’s activator. So the player who activates “Dark Deal” is the player who discards a card.

Question 2

Dark Deal — ruling 2

Accepted Answer

This card must be chained directly to the Normal Spell Card. If another card is chained directly to the Normal Spell Card, you cannot activate “Dark Deal”.

Question 3

Dark Deal — ruling 3

Accepted Answer

You cannot activate this card if you have 0 cards in your hand. If an effect is chained to make you discard all the cards in your hand, the effect of the opponent’s Normal Spell Card still changes, but does nothing since you have 0 cards in your hand.

Question 4

Dark Deal — ruling 4

Accepted Answer

This card can be chained to “Swords of Revealing Light” like any other Normal Spell Card, and “Swords of Revealing Light” will not stay on the field.

Question 5

Dark Deal — ruling 5

Accepted Answer

If the opponent activates a Normal Spell Card that targets, when you chain “Dark Deal”, the card no longer targets. If the Normal Spell Card originally targeted “Spirit Reaper”, the “Spirit Reaper” would not be destroyed.
