vilepawn archfiend question

[ghost23]

k first off the card details:
Vilepawn Archfiend
Effect Monster (Fiend / EARTH / 2 Stars / ATK 1200 / DEF 200)

The controller of this card pays 500 Life Points during each of his/her Standby Phases (this is not optional). When this card is specifically designated as a target of the effect of a card controlled by your opponent, when resolving the effect, roll a six-sided die. If the result is 3, negate the effect and destroy the opponent's card. As long as this card remains face-up on the field, your opponent cannot attack another face-up Archfiend Monster Card.


now just checking, if i have 2 face up vilepawns do i get the lock effect of maruading captain, it has the same effect but on ronin it does not say that it does while under the MC rulings it says about the lock effect.

k it may sound dumb to ask but you dont get anywhere in live without asking questions

Yes, provided there weren't any non-Archfiend monsters on your side of the field.

And wouldn't you know it. "Vilepawn" WAS errata'd. The correct answer to this question can be found here:

"Vilepawn Archfiend" is NOT like "Marauding Captain". This is why his
errata was a nerf and why his overlords were so keen to keep the errata off
our web page!

New text: "As long as this card remains on the field, your opponent cannot
attack any Archfiend Monster Card on your side of the field except "Vilepawn
Archfiend"."

So:
I have 2 "Vilepawn Archfiend" cards. My opponent can attack either one because
he can only attack "Vilepawn Archfiend".

"Vilepawn Archfiend" cannot create a "lock" like "Marauding Captain".
