• Since the Equipped "Monster" is treated as an Equipment Magic card, cards that can destroy Magic can be used to destroy the Equipped Monsters.

  --- CAN be sacrificed
  --- CAN use its effect
  • Example: If a [Cannon Soldier] is on the Field and it is later prohibited. Even though [Cannon Soldier] is prohibited, it was played before [Prohibition] was played, and thus can change its mode, attack, and use its effect.
• Magic/Trap cards on the Field before being prohibited:
  --- Already activated Continuous and Equipment Magic/Trap cards don't have their effects negated
  --- Magic/Trap cards that were Set before being prohibited CAN still be activated.
  • Example 1: If a [Mirror Force] is Set on the Field and it is later prohibited. Even though [Mirror Force] is prohibited, it was Set before [Prohibition] was played, and thus can be activated.
  • Example 2: If an [Ultimate Offering] is Set on the Field and it is later prohibited. Even though [Ultimate Offering] is prohibited, it was Set before [Prohibition] was played, and thus can be activated and used.
• Cards in hand that are prohibited:
  --- CAN be discarded as part of a cost that is not played ([Kuribo] and [Thunder Dragon] are played, so that is illegal)
  --- CAN be discarded from your hand during your End Phase if you are over your hand size.
  --- CAN be Fused from your hand (Fusion replacement Monsters are illegal)
  --- CAN be sacrificed from your hand as part of a Ritual Magic card
  --- The five parts of [Exodia] will still win the game, since Exodia's effect isn't "played."
• Prohibited cards can still be played from your deck as part of the [Magical Hats] card.
• If a [Witch of the Black Forest] or [Critter] on the Field goes to the Graveyard, its effect is activated.
• If [Jinzo] is prohibited and revived from the Graveyard:
  1. [Prohibition] is activated, prohibiting [Jinzo] 2. [Monster Reborn] is activated, [Jinzo] is revived.
  --- [Jinzo]'s Trap negating Continuous Effect is not employed.
  B. Afterward, if [Imperial Order] is activated:
  First of all, [Prohibition]'s effect is negated, then [Jinzo]'s Continuous Effect is employed. [Imperial Order] is then negated, and [Prohibition] once again is active, and the pre-existing [Jinzo] is no longer affected by [Prohibition]. (It is not a loop.)
