Royal Command LON-EN080

Royal Command
Continuous Trap

Negate the activation and effects of all Flip Effect monsters' effects.

"¢ 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.

"¢ If "Royal Command" is active on the field both players may still Flip Summon monsters, but any Flip Effects are negated.

"¢ [Re: Amplifier] If you have "Jinzo with Amplifier", your Trap Cards are not negated and their effects are applied, including "Aqua Chorus", "Royal Command", "Royal Oppression", "Coffin Seller", "Forced Requisition", "Mirror Wall", "Gravity Bind", "Rivalry of Warlords", "Minor Goblin Official", "Final Attack Orders", "Pitch Black Power Stone", "Bad Reaction to Simochi", "Skull Invitation", "Skull Lair", "The Eye of Truth", "Spirit Invitation", "Respect Play", "Ring of Destruction", "Metalmorph", "Torrential Tribute", "Self-Destruct Button", "Zero Gravity", and "Big Burn".

Wow, this card has seen some teching as of late, due to the abuse of Magician of Faith, etc. with Tsukuyomi, and just overall abuse.

This card stops all monsters Flip Effects, and can also be chaining to the Flip Summon of a Flip Effect monster and negate the effect, unlike Ceasefire. Also, it's Continuous, so it works as long as it lasts, but being continuous, and a Trap, that won't be too long.

Overall: 2.75/5 Too many visions of bad draws of this card.

Royal Command, a card that has potential, but has not yet seen proper play. It's effect will certainly cause problems for decks with Flip effects in. Sadly though it doesn't work against the manual flip monsters like Swarm of Scarebs and Swarm of Locusts. A good alternative to this is Light of Intervention which does a similar job except instead of negating the effects it just makes the monster play face up meaning they cannot activate their effects.
