YUGIOH!

there is an argument over the rulings of light-imprisoning mirror with one of my friends. though it is widely known that honest can still activate its effect while light imprisoning mirror is on hand,as honest activates and resolves on hand. hence i decided to check up the rulings and posted them below.

sources are from PoJo and Netrep:

When determining if a monster’s effect should be negated by “Light-Imprisoning Mirror”, check the monster’s Attribute at the time its effect is resolved.

When a Non-LIGHT monster’s effect is activated while the monster and “Light-Imprisoning Mirror” are both face-up on the field, if you chain “DNA Transplant” and select “LIGHT”, the monster’s effect will be negated if the monster is still face-up on the field when its effect resolves because it is now a LIGHT monster.

“Light-Imprisoning Mirror” cannot negate the Continuous Effects of LIGHT monsters.

GLAS-EN069 [Common]

No tags.

The condition of the imprisoning mirrors is that the monster must activate its effect on the field or in the graveyard and must be the correct type (light/dark) for its effect to be negated when its effect resolves. Unlike skill drain, the mirrors do not negate continuous effects.

Example 1: Zaborg the thunder monarch is tribute summoned, and its effect activates. L-IM is chained. Nothing is added to the chain. L-IM applies its negation effect. Zaborg's effect is negated.

Example 2: Same scenario as Example 1, only this time, book of moon is chained to L-IM, targetting Zaborg. Zaborg will be flipped face down. L-IM will apply its negation effect. Zaborg's effect will not be negated.

Example 3: necro gardna is in the graveyard. Necro gardna's effect is activated. S-IM is chained. S-IM resolves and applied its negation effect. Necro Gardna's effect activated in the graveyard, and it is still a dark monster so it's effect will be negated.

Example 4: GB Gyzarus is on the field. His tag out effect is activated. S-IM is chained. S-IM negation effect is applied. GB Gyzarus' effect is negated, and no monsters are special summoned from the deck.

Example 5: Both S-IM and DNA transplant(dark) are face up on the field. Volcanic rocket is summoned. It's effect activates. Since it is a dark monster, it's effect is negated by S-IM.

Example 6: Both S-IM and DNA transplant(dark) are on the field. Volcanic rocket is summoned. It's effect activates. Torrential tribute is chained. Torrential resolves first wiping the field of monsters. Volcanic rocket's effect resolves as usual because it is a (fire) monster.

Example 7: S-IM is face up on the field. Jinzo is summoned. S-IM is negated by Jinzo's continuous effect.

Example 8: S-IM is face up on the field. a defense position spirit reaper is attacked. Spirit reaper's continuous effect protect it from destruction by battle. During main phase 2, enemy controller is played targetting spirit reaper. After enemy controller resolves, spirit reaper is immediately destroyed by its continuous effect.

Example 9: L-IM is face up on the field. During the damage step, one player discards honest for its attack boosting effect. L-IM will not negate honest because honest activates, and resolves in the hand.
