Card	Type	Ruling	Link
Dark-Piercing Light	Netrep Rulings	Monsters flipped by the effect of "Dark-Piercing Light" will have any relevant Flip effects activate.
Dark Room of Nightmare	Individual Card FAQs	A cost is not damage so this card's effect does not apply against "Chain Energy", or costs for "Imperial Order", etc.
Dark Room of Nightmare	Netrep Q&As	Q: Would the opponent receive damage from "Dark Room of Nightmare" when losing Life Points from the effects of "Toll" and "Chain Energy"? A: The effect of "Toll" and "Chain Energy" is not damage, so "Dark Room of Nightmare" will have no involvement in those card's effects. Curtis Schultz, 01/22/2004
Dark Ruler Ha Des	Individual Card FAQs	This card's effect includes itself, as long as it remains a Fiend-Type monster.
Dark Ruler Ha Des	Individual Card FAQs	Flip Effects and effects that activate in the Graveyard WILL be negated. This includes "Sinister Serpent", "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", "Marie the Fallen One", "Mystic Tomato", "Giant Rat", "Masked Dragon", "Magician of Faith", "Man-Eater Bug", "Nimble Momonga", "Twin-Headed Behemoth", etc.
Dark Ruler Ha Des	Individual Card FAQs	Monster effects that activate after damage calculation will be negated if your Fiend-Type monster destroys the opposing Effect Monster. Examples include "D.D. Warrior Lady", "Thousand Needles", "Slate Warrior", "Ryu Kokki", and "Wall of Illusion".
Dark Ruler Ha Des	Individual Card FAQs	If an Effect Monster, destroyed by a Fiend-Type monster while "Dark Ruler Ha Des" is on the field, is returned from the Graveyard to the hand or Special Summoned from the Graveyard, its effect will be active again. Its effect may be negated again if destroyed by "Dark Ruler Ha Des" or another Fiend-Type monster.
Dark Ruler Ha Des	Individual Card FAQs	If one of these Effect Monsters is removed from play (by "Soul Release" for example) and then returned to the Graveyard with "Miracle Dig", the negation condition was lost and the effects will now be active.
Dark Ruler Ha Des	Individual Card FAQs	If "Kisetai" is attacked by a Fiend-Type monster while "Dark Ruler Ha Des" is on the field, its effect prevents damage calculation, so it is not destroyed and its effect is NOT negated.
Dark Ruler Ha Des	Individual Card FAQs	If "Sinister Serpent", "Twin-Headed Behemoth", or "Marie the Fallen One" is destroyed by a Fiend-Type monster when this card is on the field, they will not activate on any following turn. So during your opponent's next Standby Phase, and each of his/her following Standby Phases, they may NOT move "Sinister Serpent" to their hand, Special Summon "Twin-Headed Behemoth", and they will NOT gain Life Points by the effect of "Marie the Fallen One". This negation continues even if "Dark Ruler Ha Des" is later removed from the field.
