Royal Oppression

[drzero7]

I'm sure this been done. But this card is gunna get somewhat popular due to Gadgets and I'm somewhat confused by this card. (Since it's been SOOO LONG since this card was ever used)

Okay, say your foe activate Premature Burial. Can you chain your face-down Royal Oppression and pay 800LP to negate/destroy Preme?

Similar thing when the foe special summons Cyber Dragon from their hand. Can you activate a face-down Royal Oppression, and then pay 800LP to negate/destroy Cyber Dragon.

Another words, does it have to be face-up when your foe special summons, or can it be face-down, and then flip it when your foe attempts to special summon.

Actually, this is covered in royal oppression's rulings:

Remember that "Royal Oppression" follows the rules of all Continuous Trap Cards. In order to chain the effect of "Royal Oppression" to a card effect, "Royal Oppression" must have already been face-up on the field. For example, if "Monster Reborn" is activated, you cannot flip "Royal Oppression" face-up and activate the effect of "Royal Oppression" in the same chain.​
