Rulings

Previously Official Rulings


If the number of “
Skull Servant” and “King of the Skull Servants” cards in your Graveyard changes, re-calculate the original ATK of “King of the Skull Servants”. If it is equipped with "Megamorph" you would then re-apply the effect of "Megamorph".

If you have 2 "Skull Servant" cards in your Graveyard (original ATK 2000), and you equip this card with "Megamorph", its current ATK will become either 4000 or 1000, depending on your Life Points.

Since the ATK of this card is ?, it cannot be Special Summoned by the effect of "Mystic Tomato".

Removing from play 1 "Skull Servant" or "King of the Skull Servants" to Special Summon a "King of the Skull Servants" is a cost.

Mentions in Other Rulings

Black Garden: If "King of the Skull Servants" is Normal or Special Summoned, first its original ATK is set by its effect. When "Black Garden" halves its ATK, it will halve the original ATK, and even if the number of "King of the Skull Servants" and/or "Skull Servants" in the Graveyard changes afterwards, the ATK of the "King of the Skull Servants" remains at the halved value set by "Black Garden".

Damage Condenser: You cannot use "Damage Condenser" to Special Summon a monster whose ATK is variable or undetermined ("King of the Skull Servants")

Edge Hammer: If you destroy a monster whose original ATK is undefined, like "King of the Skull Servants", this card will not inflict any damage to the opponent.

Elemental HERO Thunder Giant"Elemental Hero Thunder Giant" is activated, targeting "King of the Skull Servants" with 2000 original ATK, and the opponent chains "Curse of Aging" and discards "Skull Servant" to activate it, then "King of the Skull Servants" has 3000 original ATK and is not destroyed.

Option Hunter: If you send a monster to the Graveyard for "Option Hunter" that has undetermined ATK, you gain 0 Life Points. ("King of the Skull Servants")

Shrink: If amonster like "King of the Skull Servants", whose original ATK varies, is affected by "Shrink", its ATK will become half of its original ATK at the time "Shrink" resolved. If its ATK changes by its own effect in the same turn, recalculate the effect of "Shrink" based on the new original ATK.

Unstable Evolution: If "Unstable Evolution" is equipped to "King of the Skull Servants", "King of the Skull Servant's" original ATK becomes the value determined by "Unstable Evolution". When "Unstable Evolution" is negated or removed from the field, "King of the Skull Servant's" original ATK is determined by its effect.

Winged Kuriboh LV10: The "combined original ATK" of the destroyed monsters is calculated after the monsters are destroyed and are no longer on the field. So a destroyed "King of the Skull Servants" would add 0 damage to this effect, and a destroyed "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" that was Summoned without Tribute would add 2800 damage.
