O.k. everyone, this is what I need to know. My friend and I are having a dispute on what is the PROPER effect of this yugioh card. My friend says that when this cards is summoned, you can not activate spells, traps, and effects for the rest of the turn. I think that it's really you can not activate them in RESULT to the summon, in REACTION to the summon. Here is the stuff that I'm talking about the rulings and the card effects.

EFFECT: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/The_Winged_Dragon_of_Ra

RULINGS:http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:The_Winged_Dragon_of_Ra

This is the part of the effects that I'm concerned about:

When this card is Normal Summoned, Spells, Traps and other monsters' effects cannot be activated.

This is the part of the rulings that's the backbone of my argument:

The effect "When this card is Normal Summoned, the effect of Spells, Traps and Effect Monsters other than this card cannot be activated." of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" is only applied at the time of "When this card is Normal Summoned". After that time passes, players can activate the effects of Spells, Traps, and Effect Monsters.[3]

I agree with you. The card effect says nothing about effecting anything for the rest of the turn. Once it is summoned, you can activate your cards (just as long as they don't interfere with the normal summon). Hope this helped 8).

I honestly dont know thats a good question man.

legacyme3 : does this thread belong here?

Well, there are other cards with effects similair to what I'm trying to find out. Look up Invasion of Flames.

I'm going to move this to the Video Games Forum.

I expect the mods there can give a better input on this one in particular. But for now it seems more appropriate there.

I'm not really sure how this fits in video games since it's about a TCG but I can't really think of where else to put this >.>

As for the card, I agree that it is only when it is summoned. I can see how your friend is confused about that I would've thought the same.

Yeah, I put this in the Questions and polls thing, but this is video game FRANCHISE, so I guess that's why this is in here, because it has a video game counter-part. Thanks for all the input guys.

your friend is wrong it's effect when summoned jusr means that no other cards can be added to that chain so basically it is chain link 1 and there can't be anymore chains added to it's summon solemn warning,traphole ect
