Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring<\/strong>.<\/li>\nSo, those were what have been posted as official OCG rulings. There might be other cards players ask about, but the idea is that any card\/effect that will, can, or might do the 3 things listed in its text (Special Summon from the Main Deck, add cards from the Main Deck to the hand INCLUDING DRAWING, or sending cards from the Main Deck to the Graveyard). It’s very similar to how Solemn Warning<\/strong> works, regarding effects that “include” Special Summoning, but has the advantage of also working against Spell\/Trap effect activations, not just Spell\/Trap Card<\/em> activations.<\/p>\nOne question that was asked: Why can it be used against the effect of Granmarg the Mega Monarch<\/strong> and Infernoid Tierra<\/strong> only under certain conditions, but always against Wavering Eyes<\/strong> or Shaddoll Fusion<\/strong>, even if the conditions are not met for them to perform the listed actions? Shouldn’t Infernoid Tierra<\/strong> always be considered an effect that includes sending cards from the Deck to the Graveyard? From what I can see, the difference is that the conditions that determine how the effect of Infernoid Tierra<\/strong> resolves are set BEFORE the effect is activated (in its case, the number of Fusion Materials it used), but Shaddoll Fusion<\/strong> and Wavering Eyes<\/strong> determine this at resolution. For example, if you activated Shaddoll Fusion<\/strong> when there were no monsters on the field Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, your opponent could still chain their Fullmetalfoes Fusion<\/strong> and control such a monster by the time your Shaddoll Fusion<\/strong> resolves, thus allowing you to send Fusion Materials from your Deck. Conversely, there is nothing that can be chained to the effect of Infernoid Tierra<\/strong> that might alter the number of Fusion Materials it already used.<\/p>\nAnother thing you may wonder is why it can be used against Book of Eclipse<\/strong>‘s activation, but not Spellbook of Power<\/strong>‘s initial activation. This is because the drawing effect of Book of Eclipse<\/strong> is the result of the effect that applied when the card was activated. Spellbook of Power<\/strong> will create a new chain for the effect that adds a “Spellbook” card to your hand, therefore it is considered a separate effect. The key here is that one does not start a new Chain, and the other does. (The only reason you cannot use Ash Blossom’s effect against Power’s second effect is that it activates in the Damage Step.)<\/p>\nOther than that, it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is guaranteed to be a card you’ll come across in higher-level competitive play, so it’s important to know what it can and cannot be used against.
