If Raigeki Break targets a Spell or a Trap card, Curse of Royal can be chained to it to negate it.
Raigeki is forbidden in Advanced Format and restricted to 1 in Traditional.
To easily defeat Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, use cards that don't target a specific monster on the field (Dark Hole, Mirror Force, Raigeki, etc.), since that monster's effect states that it can't be defeated by card effects that target this specific card.
Forbidden/Limited Card List - March 2009 too bad you cant know your answer . :D Ignore the previous answer. It's total bull crap. Raigeki was banned because 1 single spell card is enough to wipe out the entire monster card on your opponent's field which is overpowered.
Yes, "Mystical Space Typhoon" can not negate "Sakuresu Armor" and the rest of the cards mentioned. That is because there is a difference between negating and destroying. "Destroy" means to destroy a card and send it to the Graveyard. "Negate" means to prevent the card's effect from resolving. This is the best way to explain it: Since (most) Normal and Quick Spells, and Normal and Counter Traps don't have continuous effects, their effects still resolve. If a card's effect is considered continuous or requires it to stay on the field (such as Continuous, Equip and Field Spells, and Continuous Traps), when destroyed it's effect can no longer be active.
