Occasionally when a card is imported into the TCG from the OCG, its text may not accurately reflect how the effect should work. Actually, scratch that, it happens a lot more times than I'm sure Konami's willing to admit.
Take the following card for example:
Ancient Fairy Dragon (Dragon-Type/Light/Level 7/ATK 2100/DEF 3000)
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Monsters
Once per turn, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your hand. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this effect. Once per turn, you can destroy a Field Spell Card. If you do, gain 1000 Life Points, and you can add 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.
Now the rulings for this card state that if there are two Field Spells on the field when its second effect is used, both would be destroyed. (This could only occur if one or both Field Spells were set of course.) However, the effect clearly states that it can only destroy a Field Spell.
Hopefully the card will be errata'd in time, but that won't stop people from misplaying the card. That's why I encourage all players to look up the rulings for all the cards they use. The last thing anyone needs to a game loss in the middle of a tournament.
Remember players, the game ends with you.
P.S: My little sister's been pestering me to go take her to see Tangled. I usually like Disney's animated films so I'll get to that, one of these days.
