On the subject of Equipped Monsters

"This card" not "This Monster"

Makes a big difference.

For example:

When Pachy/Vanity Fiend/Christia is equipped as an equip monster, it retains its "No special summoning"

Jinzo confers its trap stopping power to its equip monster'd self.

Oh and did I mention Dragunity Arms Laevatiin equipping a Core Chimail Dragon is really cool?

Thats all for today.

G-Ray Out.

  1. I checked the ruling on the Japanese Wikia:

    Q:《D-HERO Bloo-D》によって装備カードにされた場合、罠カードの発動を封印し効果を無効にする永続効果は残りますか?
    A:いいえ、モンスターではなくなるため永続効果は発揮されません。

    I guess once a monster is a equipment, it loses all its monsters effect. It has nothing to do with the way the card is being text. Pls correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

  2. That is incorrect. Unless stated, a monster treated as an Equip Spell has no effs.

  3. But the point still is, even though it is no longer a monster, the card's text indicates that when "this card is on the field" regardless of it being treated as a monster or spell.

    And even still, it doesn't state that it negates monster's effects upon being equipped to X monster.

    This is a very curious fact, yes. But I want to find out if it's possible or not because the "this card" VS "this monster" argument seems pretty valid to me.

    I just want to know...because I had a deck idea based on this post.
