Roulette Barrel	Individual Card FAQs	You can only use "Roulette Barrel"'s effect once per turn.
Roulette Barrel	Netrep Rulings	If "Dice Re-Roll's" effect is used for the purpose of re-rolling for "Roulette Barrel," both dice are re-rolled.
Royal Command	Individual Card FAQs	If "Royal Command" is active on the field both players may still Flip Summon monsters, but any Flip Effects are negated.
Royal Command	Individual Card FAQs	This card can be chained to the activation of a Flip Effect from a Flip Summon to negate the Flip Effect. It cannot be activated during the Damage Step, so if a Flip Effect Monster is flipped face-up when attacked you cannot chain "Royal Command" to negate its Flip Effect.
Royal Decree	Netrep Rulings	If "Skill Drain" is active on the field when "Jinzo" is summoned, and "Royal Decree" is later activated, "Royal Decree" will negate "Skill Drain". Since "Skill Drain" is no longer negating "Jinzo's" effect, "Jinzo" will negate both "Royal Decree" and "Skill Drain."
Royal Keeper	Individual Card FAQs	The effect of "Royal Keeper" is not a Flip Effect.
Royal Keeper	Individual Card FAQs	When a face-down "Royal Keeper" is attacked and flipped face-up, its +300 ATK effect is applied AFTER damage calculation.
Royal Keeper	Individual Card FAQs	When your opponent activates "Bottomless Trap Hole" against "Royal Keeper", the +300 ATK effect of "Royal Keeper" resolves after "Bottomless Trap Hole".
Royal Oppression	Individual Card FAQs	You can activate the effect of "Royal Oppression" to negate an effect that Summons 1 monster, or Summons multiple monsters (like "Cyber Jar", "The Shallow Grave", or "Valkyrion the Magna Warrior").
Royal Oppression	Individual Card FAQs	There are basically 2 ways to Special Summon a monster. The first way is with a Spell Card like "Monster Reborn", a Trap Card like "Call of the Haunted", or an Effect Monster like "Magical Scientist". The second way is built in to the monster, and Special Summons it without activating an effect, such as "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" or "Dark Necrofear". "Royal Oppression" can negate both of these types of Special Summon. In the first case, you chain the activation of "Royal Oppression"'s effect to the activation of the Spell, Trap, or Monster Card's effect, and negate the effect. In the second case, right before the monster is Special Summoned, you can activate the effect of "Royal Oppression" to negate the Special Summon (the same procedure that you use for "Horn of Heaven" or "Solemn Judgment").Example 1: If "Marauding Captain" is Normal Summoned, its effect activates. You can chain to this effect by activating the effect of "Royal Oppression". The effect of "Marauding Captain" is negated, no monster is Special Summoned, and the "Marauding Captain" is destroyed. (The monster your opponent intended to Special Summon with the effect of "Marauding Captain" remains in his hand.)Example 2: If "Cyber Jar" is Flip Summoned and its Flip Effect activates, you can activate the effect of "Royal Oppression" in a chain to the Flip Effect. The effect of "Cyber Jar" is negated, no monsters on the field are destroyed by its effect, no cards are picked up, no monsters are Special Summoned, and "Cyber Jar" is destroyed by the effect of "Royal Oppression".Example 3: If "Call of the Haunted" is activated, you can activate the effect of "Royal Oppression" in a chain. The effect of "Call of the Haunted" is negated, and a monster is not Special Summoned.
