Slate Warrior	Individual Card FAQs	When a monster's ATK or DEF are changed by its own effect, like "Slate Warrior" or "Berserk Dragon", and "Skill Drain" is activated, that monster's effect is negated and the ATK/DEF are returned to normal. Even if "Skill Drain" is then destroyed, the old adjustment to ATK/DEF does not come back. Any bonuses or penalties are lost when "Skill Drain" effect is applied, and you have to start over from the beginning.
Slate Warrior	Individual Card FAQs	If "Blade Knight" destroys a Flip Effect Monster like "Slate Warrior", even that monster's non-Flip effects are negated. So in this case, "Slate Warrior" does not reduce the ATK and DEF of the "Blade Knight" that destroyed it, because "Blade Knight" negates its effect.
Slate Warrior	Individual Card FAQs	"Gorgon's Eye" cannot negate the effect of "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", or "Sinister Serpent" because they activate in the Graveyard. If a Defense Position "Slate Warrior" is attacked and destroyed, the effect of "Slate Warrior" that lowers ATK and DEF is applied because it activates in the Graveyard.
Slate Warrior	Netrep Rulings	“Slate Warrior's” "destroyed in battle" effect is not dependent upon “Slate Warrior” being flipped.
