Card Rulings:Charge of the Light Brigade
OCG Rulings
- Sending three cards from your Deck to the Graveyard is a cost to activate "Charge of the Light Brigade".[1]
- The effect of "Charge of the Light Brigade" does not target.[1]
- "Charge of the Light Brigade" cannot be activated if you do not have any Level 4 or lower "Lightsworn" monsters in your Deck.[2][3]
- When resolving "Charge of the Light Brigade", if you do not have a Level 4 or lower "Lightsworn" monster in your Deck that you can add to your hand, then your opponent can check your Deck to verify that you have no valid monster. Thus, if you activate "Charge of the Light Brigade" by sending the top 3 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard including the last "Lightsworn" monster in your Deck, then your opponent can check your Deck.[3]
- If "Dimensional Fissure" is active, then you cannot send cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard as a cost, since you might send a Monster Card to the Graveyard. Thus, you cannot activate effects like those of "Charge of the Light Brigade", "Card Trooper", or "Celestia, Lightsworn Angel".[4]
- The effect of "Charge of the Light Brigade" does not target. Thus, you can activate "Charge of the Light Brigade" and add a "Lightsworn" monster from your Deck to your hand even if the effect of "Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid" is active and preventing "Lightsworn" monsters from being targeted.[5]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[6] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- If the last Level 4 or lower "Lightsworn" monster remaining in your Deck is sent to the Graveyard when you activate "Charge of the Light Brigade", when it resolves, briefly show your Deck to your opponent to verify that no Level 4 or lower "Lightsworn" monsters remain in your Deck.
