Judges:

We are issuing an errata for "Pulling the Rug". The original Japanese card text
was extremely vague (the sentence had no subject), and so the actual effect of
the card was open to interpretation. A very liberal interpretation was finally
decided for the effect, but this decision was unfortunately made after the card
went to press.

Here's the new text:

Negate the activation and effect of an Effect Monster whose effect activated
when a monster was Normal Summoned (even itself), and destroy that Effect
Monster.

What this means is that "Pulling the Rug" can also be used to negate and destroy
an Effect Monster with a Trigger Effect that activated when a monster was Normal
Summoned, (King Tiger Wanghu, Mysterious Puppeteer, etc.) in addition to an
Effect Monster whose own effect activated when it was Normal Summoned (Zaborg
the Thunder Monarch, etc.).

Basically, it not only negates and destroys Player A's Zaborg that they summon to destroy Player B's Cyber Dragon, but it can also negate and destroy Player B's King Tiger Wanghu when Player A Normal Summons a Red Gadget.

So its not just the non-turn player that can activate Pulling the Rug. It's also the turn player that can play it himself, even if it is his opponent that has the effect that triggers.

Err...Pulling the Rug can't stop Des Calibur. DCK's effect activates when a monster effect is activated, not when a monster was Normal Summoned.

Or am I misunderstanding you?

You're obviously misunderstanding the Errata for Pulling the Rug.

It would be able to negate and destroy Des Calibur Knight because he would be Triggering his effect when a monster like Zaborg is Tribute Summoned.

Can you use Pulling the Rug on a Mobius that is summoned, where the summoner is choosing not to use its effect?

My thinking is that you can, because the effect is activating when the opponent makes the choice of how many (0, 1, or 2) Spell/Trap cards to destroy.

Sure: http://info.yugioh-house.net/?eid=183586

And here he is:

VB8-JP002 [Dead Spirit Knight - Des Calibur Knight] (Siryoukisi Desukariba- Naito)
Dark/Demon/4/1900/1800
This card cannot be Special Summoned. When an effect Monster activates its effect, you must sacrifice this face-up card on your Field to negate the effect and destroy that Monster.

I don't think that Pulling the Rug works on Des Calibur Knight. DCK's effect triggers on zaborg's effect, not on his summoning.

Mobius's effect is an optional trigger. You dont have to activate it. Pulling the Rug needs to be chained to the effect you want to negate. No effect => no chain.

The errata doesn't necessarily indicate that it will negate Des Caliber Night, as it could be interpreted to involve only cards that trigger based on a normal summon. The errata only clarifies that it can be used on a card that was not the same one that was normal summoned

In order to conlude that if it can/can't be used on Des Caliber Knight: you would need to consult the ruling:
"¢ You cannot Chain "Pulling the Rug" to an Ignition Effect that was activated when a monster was Normal Summoned. ("Exiled Force", etc.)

and extrapolate that it does not work on any monster effect taht does not specifically involve a Trigger effect that is triggered by a Normal Summon.

It does not work on Des Caliber Knight.

Well, you seem to be confused about this now Horus...

It will never be able to stop "Jinzo" or ANY monster with an Ignition effect like "Exiled Force".

Its designed to stop monsters with Triggered effects that specifically trigger when a monster is Summoned (Normal Summon and Tribute Summon).

These monsters include, but are not limited to...
Stratos
Monarchs
Tsukuyomi
Breaker (his first effect)
Dark Dust Spirit
Dark Magician of Chaos
King Tiger Wang-Hu
Mysterious Puppeteer
Gadgets

Will it work with DMoC, or any similar monsters, who are optional triggers? And if so, do you have to wait to respond to that particular trigger?
