Q: If the effect of Forbidden Lance is applied on a Fusion Monster that was Special Summoned by the effect of Instant Fusion, can that Fusion Monster attack?
Also, is that Fusion Monster destroyed during the End Phase?
A: The monster Special Summoned by the effect of Instant Fusion is already affected by the effects that prevent it from attacking and that destroy it during the End Phase.

Q: During your End Phase, while adjusting the hand size, you had 7 cards and discarded Heraldic Beast Leo to reduce your hand size to 6.
In this case, does the effect of Heraldic Beast Leo to add an “Heraldic” Monster to the hand activate?
A: Even in that case, the effect activates.
In that case, since the hand size becomes 7 or more once again as a result of adding an “Heraldic” Monster to the hand, you must discard cards from your hand until you have 6 cards in your hand.
