Since there is going to be a boatload of single card ruling changes coming up, I've decided to help out by posting what has actually changed here in the R&R forum and sticky it.

We're going to be keeping RONIN and the online Card Registry as up to date as possible by executing a daily rulings scan and diff operation. Please note that it does take a bit of time to actually get them out there live.

NOTE: If you look out on UDE's FAQ site right now, there are some really messed up looking rulings (see Royal Oppression). They will appear in RONIN/Card Registry EXACTLY as they are on UDE's site (missing text and all), but I've tried to remove them from this list. I'm sure those will get fixed up rather quickly ....

Berserk Gorilla
If you control "Berserk Gorilla" you must enter your Battle Phase, even if "Gravity Bind" is active on the field, preventing it from attacking.

D. D. Warrior Lady
When your "D. D. Warrior Lady" attacks your opponent's "Fiber Jar", if you activate her effect then "Fiber Jar" is Step 1 of the chain, because it is mandatory, and "D. D. Warrior Lady" is Step 2 of the chain because it is an optional effect. "D. D. Warrior Lady" removes from play both monsters, and then resolve the effect of "Fiber Jar". "D. D. Warrior Lady" and "Fiber Jar" are not shuffled into the Deck.

D. D. Warrior Lady
When your "D. D. Warrior Lady" attacks "Wall of Illusion", if you activate her effect then "Wall of Illusion" is Step 1 of the chain, because it is mandatory, and "D. D. Warrior Lady" is Step 2 of the chain because it is an optional effect. The effect of "D. D. Warrior Lady" removes from play both monsters, then the effect of "Wall of Illusion" Disappears, since the attacking monster is no longer on the field.

Dark Magician of Chaos
When you Special Summon "Dark Magician of Chaos" with "Last Turn", you can activate "Dark Magician of Chaos"'s effect.

Dark Magician of Chaos
"Dark Magician of Chaos"'s effect targets 1 Spell Card in the Graveyard, so it will be negated by "Necrovalley" or "The End of Anubis".

Desert Sunlight
If you have a face-down Flip Effect monster, you can activate "Desert Sunlight", chain "Book of Moon" targeting your monster even though it is still face-down, and chain another "Desert Sunlight". When the chain resolves, you will flip the monster up, then down, then back up. The Flip Effect activates twice, and they wait to create a new chain after the current one resolves. For example, if the Flip Effect monster is "Morphing Jar", its effect will activate twice in a chain, as Chain Link 1 and Chain Link 2, they resolve in reverse order, and both players will discard and draw 5 cards, then discard and draw 5 cards again.

Hand of Nephthys
Ignition Effects on monsters cannot be activated while the Effect Monster is face-down. So this face-down monster cannot be Tributed for its own effect.

Kaibaman
Ignition Effects on monsters cannot be activated while the Effect Monster is face-down. So this face-down monster cannot be Tributed for its own effect.

Level Limit - Area B
If you Summon "Spell Canceller" while "Level Limit - Area B" is on the field, "Spell Canceller" negates its effect and is not changed to Defense Position.

Mind Control
The effect of "Mind Control" that prevents the targeted monster from attacking or being Tributed lasts until the End Phase of the turn "Mind Control" was activated, even if the monster is flipped face-down before the End Phase. If the monster targeted with this card is flipped face-down, it will still return to the original owner's side of the field during the End Phase.

Nightmare Wheel
If a face-down monster targeted by the effect of "Nightmare Wheel" is rearranged by the effect of "Wandering Mummy" or "Shifting Shadows", the monster's controller must honestly announce which monster is the target of "Nightmare Wheel".

Phoenix Wing Wind Blast
You cannot target a face-up non-Continuous, non-Equip Spell or Trap Card. This is because they are already "considered to be destroyed" once they are activated (even though they are not sent to the Graveyard until the chain resolves). If you target a face-down Spell or Trap Card, the opponent can activate it as a chain. If it is not Continuous, it will not be returned to the top of the Deck. It will be placed in the Graveyard after the chain resolves, as normal.

Phoenix Wing Wind Blast
You can activate "Phoenix Wing Wind Blast" and target a face-up "Swords of Revealing Light" because it destroys itself by its own effect, instead of being destroyed when activate like most Normal Spell Cards.

Primal Seed
The required card only needs to be face-up on the field. It does not need to be a Monster Card, so if "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" is equipped to "Relinquished", you can activate "Primal Seed".

Red-Eyes B. Chick
Ignition Effects on monsters cannot be activated while the Effect Monster is face-down. So this face-down monster cannot be Tributed for its own effect.

Royal Oppression
The effects of face-up Trap Cards cannot be activated during the Damage Step, so this card's effect cannot negate the Special Summoning of a monster by the effect of "Mystic Tomato" or a "Cyber Jar" flipped face-up by an attack.

The Creator
To Special Summon "The Creator" with the effect of "The Creator Incarnate", you must Tribute a face-up "The Creator Incarnate" from the field, not from your hand, etc.

The Creator Incarnate
Ignition Effects on monsters cannot be activated while the Effect Monster is face-down. So this face-down monster cannot be Tributed for its own effect.

Thousand Knives
The required card only needs to be face-up on the field. It does not need to be a Monster Card, so if "Dark Magician" is equipped to your "Relinquished", you can activate "Thousand Knives".
