White Dragon Ninja > Armor Ninjitsu of Gold Conversion

If you control a face up White Dragon Ninja, and activate Gold Conversion, do you draw 2 cards, or will it not resolve because my Ninjitsu art cards cannot be destroyed?

you just draw 2 because white drag ninja's eff chains to gold conversion not negateing it

Well you draw after destruction, although it's not cost I'm not entirely sure it'll work as a PoG.

no i think my explination would work because here is gold conversion eff

When you control 1 face-up "Ninjitsu Art" card(s): Destroy all "Ninjitsu Art" card(s) you control and then draw 2 cards.

and here is white drag ninja eff well at least the eff that maters

Spell/Trap Cards you control cannot be destroyed by card effects.

I think the only need to activate the card is that you have 1 face up NA card

While it is correct that you draw 2 because you are not required to destroy a Ninjitsu Art card, White Dragon Ninja's effect is continuous and does not use chain.

If I'm reading them correctly, you need to destroy at least 1 card in order to draw 2

I thought so. Didn't know you could read Japanese Key

Okay, that's infinitely helpful that someone can read Japanese. Strange how this wasn't translated for the OCG rulings of Yu-Gi-Oh wiki.

Not so sure about this one..

From the yugioh wikia tips -

Activate "Armored Ninjitsu Art: Gold Conversion" to draw 2 cards without losing your Ninjitsu Art cards.

The thing is Soul, is that stuff on the wikia may not be completely accurate.

Tip section mostly

In this case their tip is entirely dependent on if White Dragon Ninja would prevent Gold Conversion from resolving properly.

If you control 1 face-up "Ninjitsu Art" card(s): Destroy all face-up "Ninjitsu Art" card(s) you control, then draw 2 cards.

The effect is not a cost.

if the prior condition is not meant, whatever comes after "then" will also not activate.

Same with Dark World Lightning for example,if no card is destroyed then you do not discard a card from your hand.

like starlight road 'negate and destroy , then you can special summon 1 stardust dragon'



dont pay attention to wikia tips those are 'captain obvious' tips or arent even based on card rulings

So it doesn't resolve and you are not able to draw 2 cards?

It will resolves without effect and you won't draw 2 cards, but in my opinion you can't activate it at the first place.

Destroy then Draw, since you don't destroy you don't draw. Mido gave the best example.

So in conclusion, never use Ninjutsu Art of Gold Conversion while White Dragon Ninja is on the field with its effect applying.

Thanks guys.
