OCG Rulings
Discarding 1 card is a cost to activate this card.:
This card does not target.
This card cannot be chained to effects that activate in the Main Deck.
You can activate "Divine Wrath" and "Gladiator Beast War Chariot" during the Damage Step in Chain to an Effect Monster's effect. You can also activate these cards during Damage Calculation, for example, in Chain to the effect of "Honest".:
Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn: If the activation of "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn"s effect is negated by "Divine Wrath" etc, then "other "Blackwing" monsters cannot attack this turn" is not applied, and other monsters can attack.: When the activation of the effect of "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn" is negated, can other monsters declare attacks?
Dark Magician of Chaos: "Divine Wrath" cannot be used against "Dark Magician of Chaos" second and third effects.: Does the effect which removes from play "Dark Magician of Chaos" begin a chain (for "Divine Wrath")?
Ehren, Lightsworn Monk: If a Flip Effect activates after "Ehren, Lightsworn Monk" returns the Flip Effect monster to the Deck, then the Flip Effect is treated as activating on the field.: If "Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror" is active and "Ehren, Lightsworn Monk" attacks a Flip Effect monster, then is the Flip Effect negated?
Example: If a Flip Effect activates after "Ehren, Lightsworn Monk" returns the Flip Effect monster to the Deck, then "Divine Wrath" may be Chained to the Flip Effect. The Flip Effect will be negated, but the Flip Effect monster will not be destroyed and will remain in the Deck.
Elemental HERO Absolute Zero: When "Elemental HERO Absolute Zero" is returned to the Extra Deck, its effect activates, and "Divine Wrath" can be chained. "Divine Wrath" will negate the effect and "Elemental HERO Absolute Zero" will be destroyed and sent from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard.: When the effect of "Elemental HERO Absolute Zero" activates in the Extra Deck, can "Divine Wrath" be activated?
Exodia the Forbidden One: When you add the fifth piece to your hand and declare that you win the Duel, you are using a victory condition. You are not activating a monster's effect, so "Divine Wrath" and "Gladiator Beast War Chariot" cannot be activated.: Can "Divine Wrath" (etc) be activated when "Exodia the Forbidden One" (etc) are in the hand?
Freed the Matchless General: The effect of "Freed the Matchless General" can only be activated when you draw during your Draw Phase. Suppose you control two copies of "Freed the Matchless General". If you activate the effect of one copy, then you cannot activate the effect of the second copy in a new Chain after the first one resolves, since the activation timing is no longer correct. Thus, if you activate the effect of one copy and its activation and effect are negated by "Divine Wrath", then you cannot activate the effect of the second copy after "Divine Wrath" resolves, since the activation timing is no longer correct.: If you control two copies of "Freed the Matchless General" and "Divine Wrath" negates the activation of the effect of one copy, then can the effect of the other "Freed the Matchless General" be activated?
Majestic Star Dragon: The effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" which negates the effects of an Effect Monster is an effect which activates and starts a Chain Link. "Divine Wrath" may be Chained to this effect to negate its activation and destroy "Majestic Star Dragon".: When the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" which negates the effects of an Effect Monster activates, does it start a Chain Link?
Stardust Dragon: Counter Trap Cards are Spell Speed 3, so you cannot activate the Spell Speed 2 effect of "Stardust Dragon" in Chain to the effect of a Counter Trap Card like "Magic Jammer", "Seven Tools of the Bandit", or "Divine Wrath".: Can the effect of "Stardust Dragon" be activated in Chain to the activation of a Counter Trap Card?
Stardust Dragon: If "Stardust Dragon" or "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" do not negate the effect of a Spell/Trap/Effect monster, during the End Phase they cannot Special Summon themselves. For example, if "Divine Wrath" negates the effect of "Stardust Dragon" or "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode", then you cannot activate the effect during the End Phase.: When "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" does not negate the activation of the effect of a card, can it Special Summon itself during the End Phase?
Sun Dragon Inti: If "Sun Dragon Inti" is destroyed and afterwards returned to your Extra Deck, then during the next Standby Phase "Divine Wrath" may be activated to negate the activation of the effect which Special Summons "Moon Dragon Quilla". The activation of the effect will be negated, but the "Sun Dragon Inti" in the Extra Deck will not be destroyed.: Can "Divine Wrath" be activated if "Sun Dragon Inti" is in the Extra Deck?
Sword Master: If a Warrior-Type monster attacks, performs damage calculation, does not destroy the other monster, and afterwards the other monster is destroyed by a card effect, then the effect of "Sword Master" which Special Summons it can still be activated.: Can "Sword Master" be Special Summoned if the attacked monster is destroyed by an effect after damage calculation?
Example: If your Warrior-Type monster attacks an opponent's "Marshmallon", and "Divine Wrath" negates the activation of the damage-inflicting effect of "Marshmallon" and destroys "Marshmallon", then you can still Special Summon "Sword Master".
The Fabled Unicore: For the effect of "The Fabled Unicore", if both players have the same number of cards when the effect of a Spell Card, a Trap Card, or an Effect Monster Card is resolving, then that activated effect is negated. Suppose you control "The Fabled Unicore":: The effect of "The Fabled Unicore" can negate an opponent's card if the hand sizes are the same at what time?
If you have five cards in your hand and the opponent has six cards in his hand, and afterwards the opponent activates "Divine Wrath" or the effect of "Honest", then when resolving the effect of "Divine Wrath" or "Honest" both players have five cards in their hands, so the effect of "The Fabled Unicore" is applied and the effect of "Divine Wrath" or "Honest" is negated.
During the Damage Step, in general, you cannot activate Spell/Trap Cards other than Counter Trap Cards and ATK/DEF-increasing/decreasing effects. Thus, you cannot activate "Book of Moon" nor "Raigeki Break", but you can activate the Counter Trap "Divine Wrath
