The First Sarcophagus

 This card is based off of the real-world structure of ancient egyptian Sarcophagi; Typically the mummified body would be held inside of multiple, consecutively smaller coffins made of different materials and styles. The First Sarcophagus depicts a stone coffin; the most common type used for an outer coffin by the wealthy.

---

The Second Sarcophagus is inside the coffin in this card's artwork.

---

This card is somewhat similar to Destiny Board, as both are Continuous Trap Cards that place specific Continuous Spell Cards on the field for a single effect.

---

This card appears in the artwork of Trap Sluzer.

Previously Official Rulings

If you have all 3 Sarcophagi on your side of the field, the effect happens automatically; you have no choice in the matter.

If you have multiple copies of "The First Sarcophagus", each will have its own "Second Sarcophagus" and "Third Sarcophagus". So if you have 2 of "TheFirst Sarcophagus"{{sic, you will have 2 of "The Second Sarcophagus" on the field. If you Special Summon "Spirit of the Pharaoh" or if 1 of the Sarcophagi is removed from the field, all Sarcophagi cards are sent to the Graveyard.

If 1 of the Sarcophagi is sent to the Graveyard, all are sent simultaneously, not as a Chain.

Spirit of the Pharaoh: "Spirit of the Pharaoh" cannot be Normal Summoned or Set, and cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "The First Sarcophagus"

Spirit of the Pharaoh: If your opponent chains "Royal Decree" to the effect of "The First Sarcophagus", the effect of Special Summoning is negated and "The First Sarcophagus" is sent to the Graveyard because that is the cost.

Spirit of the Pharaoh: If "Banisher of the Light" is in play and you activate "The First Sarcophagus", you cannot Special Summon "Spirit of the Pharaoh".
