Does Obelisk Negate Effects?

Obelisk the Tormentor, one of the three Egyptian God Cards, is known for its powerful effect, which can destroy all monsters on the opponent’s field. But does this powerful effect also negate the opponent’s card effects? Let’s dive into the answer.

Obelisk’s Effect

Obelisk’s effect is as follows:

"You can Tribute 2 monsters; destroy all monsters your opponent controls. This card cannot declare an attack the turn this effect is activated."

As we can see, the effect does not specifically state that it negates opponent’s card effects. However, it does destroy all monsters on the opponent’s field, which could imply that it negates some effects.

Does Obelisk Negate Effect Monsters?

One common question is whether Obelisk’s effect negates Effect Monsters. The answer is yes, Obelisk’s effect does negate Effect Monsters. When you destroy an Effect Monster, its effect is immediately terminated, and it can no longer be used.

• Example: If an opponent has an Effect Monster, "Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands," which has an effect that increases its ATK, Obelisk’s effect can destroy it, negating its effect.

Does Obelisk Negate Spell/Trap Cards?

Another question is whether Obelisk’s effect negates Spell/Trap Cards. The answer is no, Obelisk’s effect does not specifically negate Spell/Trap Cards. However, it is worth noting that destroying the monsters that these cards were attached to may also terminate the effects of the cards.

• Example: If an opponent has a Spell Card, "Fireball," which was previously chained to a monster on their field, and you destroy that monster with Obelisk’s effect, the effect of the "Fireball" card would also be terminated.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Obelisk the Tormentor’s effect does not specifically negate opponent’s card effects, but it can destroy Effect Monsters and negates their effects. Additionally, destroying the monsters that Spell/Trap Cards are attached to may also terminate their effects. However, it does not specifically negate Spell/Trap Cards themselves.
