Card Rules: Rulings powered by The Netrep API. 'This card's effect that negates Spell Cards that target it is not optional. You can Special Summon this card from the Graveyard with ''Monster Reborn'' because its effect that negates Spell Cards is not active while it is in the Graveyard. You can activate ''Premature Burial'' to Special Summon this card from the Graveyard , and then this card's effect will negate and destroy ''Premature Burial''. ''Freed the Matchless General'' will not be destroyed since the effect of ''Premature Burial'' was negated by his effect. If this card is targeted by the effect of a Spell Card while face-down the Spell Card's effect resolves. If your opponent activates ''Change of Heart'' and gains control of this card while it is face-down and it is then flipped face-up they retain control of it until the end of the turn. This is because the effect of ''Freed the Matchless General'' must be applied when the Spell Card is activated. A Spell Card that targets this card may be activated but it will be negated and destroyed. The effect of this card will not negate ''Creature Swap'' ''Fissure'' ''Smashing Ground'' ''Dark Hole'' ''Raigeki'' or similar Spell Cards that do not target. If you try to equip ''Fusion Sword Murasame Blade'' to this monster it will be negated and destroyed. ''Freed the Matchless General's' second effect cannot be activated if you have no Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monsters in your Deck. You can only forfeit your normal draw. If you activate ''Jar of Greed'' during the Draw Phase you cannot replace that draw with the effect of ''Freed the Matchless General''. If you have two copies of this card on the field you can still only add 1 Warrior-Type monster to your hand by forfeiting your normal draw. The activation of this card's effect that adds a Warrior-Type monster to your hand can be chained to.' [Re: Butterfly Dagger - Elma] If 'Butterfly Dagger - Elma' is negated and destroyed by 'Ryu Senshi' or 'Freed the Matchless General' it cannot return to your hand. [Re: Creature Swap] The opponent cannot chain 'Fairy's Hand Mirror' 'Riryoku Field' or 'Shift' to 'Creature Swap' because it does not target. For the same reason 'Lord of D.' does not prevent Dragon-Type monsters from being selected and 'Freed the Matchless General' will not negate the effect of 'Creature Swap'. [Re: Fusion Sword Murasame Blade] If you equip this card to 'Freed the Matchless General' 'Ryu Senshi' or to a Warrior-Type monster you control when you have 'Frontier Wiseman' on the field it is negated and destroyed. [Re: Magical Blast] If you have more than 1 'Magical Blast' in your Graveyard during your Draw Phase you can activate them both but only 1 will resolve. The other will remain in Graveyard. This forms a chain because they are activating simultaneously (at the specific point in time that you would otherwise draw). If you also have 'Freed the Matchless General' on the field you can only resolve either his effect or 'Magical Blast's' effect but not both. [Re: Weapon Change] If you use 'Weapon Change''s effect on 'Freed the Matchless General' 'Weapon Change' is destroyed.
