The ruling on treeborn frog states "If the effect of 'Treeborn Frog' is negated, you can activate its effect again during the same Standby Phase and Special Summon it."
Does this ruling only apply to the standby phase or extended to any phase if it was negated while destroyed in battle by "Dark Ruler Ha Des" or "Dark Balter the Terrible"?
Answer:
If "Dark Balter the Terrible" or "Dark Ruler Ha Des" destroys a "Treeborn Frog" in battle, they will negate its effects just like they would negate those of "Sinister Serpent".
While that "Treeborn Frog" remains in the Graveyard it will not be Special Summoned by its own effect, because its effects will be negated.
