While banished...

[arkaeldarknnes]

I've been working on a couple of cards that I wanted to have continuous effects while banished, but I can't find any official cards or rulings that I can use as reference.

 

Some rough examples of what I would do is:

 

"Once per turn, while this card is banished: Special summon a monster"

"While this card is face-up in your banished zone; every monster on your side of the field gains 500 atk"

 

How it should be written?

 

While this card is banished:
While this card is (face-up) in your banished zone

 

Or it should have a different structure?

 

Hope you can help me :D

For your example:

Once per turn, while this card is banished: You can Special Summon 1 monster from (where).

While this card is banished, monsters you control gain 500 ATK.

"Once per turn, if this card is banished: Special Summon 1 monster (from [location] here)"

 

Unless otherwise stated, banished cards are face-up.

 

 

That should probably cover it; hopefully Zazu updates his guide with something of this sort. There really isn't a specific name for where banished cards go, however.

The problem I see with that structure, is that "if this card is banished" is used for triggered effects. Similar to "when this card is sent to the graveyard". I needed something like "as long as this card is banished" but I don't know if it is valid yet, since "as long as..." effects are outdated.

While this card is banished, monsters you control gain 500 ATK.

 

 

So, for continuous effects, "while this card is banished" should be the best option? Thank you! :D

Also, continuous effects like that boosting ATK example don't have colons or semi-colons in them. That'd make them "activate" at some point to happen if they had those.

Sakura and Noel pretty much said everything =0

Oh I see, I'm a little bit rusty with the PSCT, thanks!

Don't worry, a lot of us are still trying to figure out how things work under PSCT, so you're not alone.

This is one of the things that Konami does need to cover sometime in the future.

 

Until official lore comes out, just use Noel's fix for the time being.
