Meta Rules
Meta #44 When a card specifies what cards may (or may not) be used to defend it, this includes ALL cards used in the defense.

Meta #58 Negates are considered a card being played defensively. If a Special indicates that it cannot be defended by a Special card, then a Negate cannot be used to defend the attack (although it may be used afterwards offensively to negate the effect). If a Special card indicates that it can only be defended by a specific type of card, then this excludes all other cards (including negates).

Meta #124 Specials which are already in play prior to an attack being launched can be utilized in the defense of that attack without being considered "being played defensively."
