Talk:Jackknife "Gold Ritter"/Tips/@comment-24928599-20141227074136/@comment-11372432-20141227093318

It's one of the lesser known rulings, just because right now the only item with defense in English is Ritter (though Svalin is in the next promo pack). Why do you think Paruko was able to cast her Dragoenergy clone on Takosuke, despite the more or less official ruling that the cards are items and no longer monsters?

Basically, how I see it, is due to the official ruling that items without defense (i.e. all but Ritter and Svalin right now) cannot gain defense through effects, I figure Dragoenergy clones need to give their defense boost or else you can't even cast it on that card and thus, those are not legal targets for those cards.

Of course, I'm pretty sure Hero World will have to come out before Bushi really clarifies this ruling and everyone knows it too.
