Card Rulings:Rainbow Wiseman


 * While Effect 2 (imitating a Crystal Beast) is active, Effect 1 (the damage redirect) is negated and thusly the battle is conducted normally.


 * The "If this card is in the Spell/Trap Zone, destroy it" bit is simply to reinforce the logic... Once Effect 2 has worn off, Rainbow Wiseman no longer has the effects of a Crystal Beast and thusly no longer has any right to be a "Continuous Spell in the Spell/Trap Zone".


 * Yes, that's "destroy 1 Crystal Beast", not "Tribute". This is in order to trigger the Crystal Beast's "go to Spell/Trap Zone" effect and make them available for Effect 2.
