Errata
エラッタ (Errata)
Dmwiki.net: Article

Errata is a term for card text that has been officially announced to be modified. This can be due to correction or rule changes.

Details

Each card should be used following the latest released version of the card, or corrected errata.

The latest errata can be found on the Duel Masters Official Homepage.

Rule Changes

Effects that specify the number of cards.

  • Old Rule: When you have a card that specifies the number of cards, i.e. "Choose 2 of your opponent's cards", if your opponent had 1 or fewer cards, you wouldn't be able to use that ability as they don't have the necessary number of cards.
  • New Rule: The effect specified number with these effects can be used even if your opponent's hand doesn't have the required number of cards.
    • Supplement 1: In the old rule, if your opponent only had one creature, you couldn't use Miraculous Plague.
    • Supplement 2: Skeleton Vice had extraneous text explaining how you could discard cards from your opponent hand even if they only had one card.
Your opponent discards 2 cards at random from his hand.
If there is only one, your opponent puts that card into its owner's graveyard.

Destruction Replacement effects

Old Rule: Processing of an effect such as "When this creature would be destroyed, return it to your hand instead of your graveyard" moved the creature to the designated zone after it was put into your graveyard,

New Rule: Processing of an effect such as the above put the card directly into the designated zone.

Dragon races

If only Dragon was in the card text, it will be read as "Add Dragon to the race".

  • Supplement: Although this received errata, "Dragon" as a group of races was referred to again in DM-22 The Dragonic Nova.

Furious Onslaught (Date: 2004)

Effects that said "Becomes Dragon until end of turn" became "Add Armored Dragon to race".

Evolution Creature and Evolution Source, part 1

Changes occurred due to the Meteorburn keyword on Phoenix evolution creatures.

  • Old Rule: Evolution creatures in the battle zone can't stay in the battle zone if their evolution sources are removed.
  • New Rule: Evolution creatures can stay in the battle zone regardless if their evolution sources are removed.

Evolution Creature and Evolution Source, part 2

If the top card of an evolution creature leaves the battle zone by an effect such as Royal Durian, the evolution sources stay. If the evolution sources can't be reconstructed, any non-matching cards are put into the graveyard.

Evolution Creature and Evolution Source, part 3

If there is no evolution source in the battle zone, you can't put out an evolution creature. Some cards were previously able to put evolution creatures into the battle zone without a source, but now they can't.

Destruction Substitution and Destruction Trigger abilities

If a Dragon is destroyed when you have 2 Infinity Dragons in the battle zone, the destruction substitution ability of Infinity Dragon won't overlap.

The same also applies to the substitution effect of other cards.

  • Supplement: Since Infinity Dragon is now in the Hall of Fame, this doesn't occur.

Minmei, Beautiful Faerie and Courtney, Summer Breeze Faerie

As Courtney made your creatures into 5-civilization creatures, you were unable to summon creatures that cost 4 or less, as you were unable to tap enough cards in your mana zone to pay for the cost of the card. (This was only possible if you used a naturally 5-civilization card with a mana number of 0.)

After July 15, 2015, you can tap additional cards to pay for the civilization of the cost of the creature, even if it goes over their mana cost.

Shield Trigger cards put into your hand

If a shield is put into your hand with Marshall Queen or Sirigel, the Absorber and it's not explicitly stated that "Shield trigger" can't be used, you are able to use it.

While it's not strictly an errata, it was ambiguous due to other cards that prevented this.

厳密に言うとエラッタではなく、曖昧だった裁定が正式に確定したもの。 また過去に《陽炎の守護者ブルー・メルキス》の能力でS・トリガー持ちクリーチャーが出た場合や、《封魔ダンリモス》の能力で指定以外のS・トリガー持ちのカードだった場合、S・トリガーとして使用できない、という裁定があったが、これも同時にS・トリガーを使用できるとされた。

Multiple cards with "shield trigger" put into your hand at same time

《マーシャル・クイーン》などで「複数のシールドが同時に手札に移動するとき」、今までは一枚ずつ手札に加えてS・トリガーなどの処理していたが、そうではなく同時に手札に加わるという裁定に変更。

つまり《マーシャル・クイーン》の場合であれば、3枚同時に手札に加え、その後手札に加えたカードのS・トリガーを使用できる。 手札に加えたカードのうち《星龍の記憶》を最初に唱えることで、手札に加えた時点ではS・トリガーでなかったカードをS・トリガーとして使う、などということはできない。(→星龍マーシャル)

シールド・プラスされたシールドを手札に加えた場合も同じで、《奇跡の精霊ミルザム》で6枚重なった1枚のシールドを手札に加えた場合、6枚全てのカードが同時に手札に加わる。

しかし、 W・ブレイカーなどでシールドを複数枚ブレイクする際は、今まで通り、一枚ずつシールドをブレイクする 。 よって、この場合は《星龍の記憶》が最初のシールドから出てきた場合、次にブレイクされるシールドはS・トリガーを得る。

Win the Battle trigger

With the old rule, the ability triggered when the battle was won, but before the opponent's creature was put into the graveyard. This is now triggered simultaneously as Put Into Graveyard abilities and others that trigger when cards are put into a graveyard.

Multiple creatures are destroyed simultaneously

  • Old Rule: When multiple creatures are destroyed at the same time because of Mass Removal, creatures belong to the active player are put into the graveyard one by one. Then your opponent does.
  • New Rule: All creatures, of both players, are put into the graveyard at the same time.

Multicolored card and Cost Reduction

Old Rule:多色カードを手札から出すときコスト軽減効果により「文明の数>マナコスト」となっている場合、全ての文明の支払いができないためカードを使用することはできない。 ↓ Old Rule: 多色カードが「文明の数>マナコスト」となった場合、文明のためにコストを余分に支払うことができる。余分な分のマナは支払い終了時になくなる。

  • For example, 旧ルールではMobile Forestで赤緑のGonta, the Warrior Savageのコストを1に下げると普通に召喚することができなくなっていたが、現在では2マナを支払って召喚してもよい。
  • なお、旧ルールでも、マナの5色レインボーで「文明だけを追加」すればカードを使うことができた。
