Q: While there are no cards in my opponent’s Extra Deck, I activate the effect of Booster Dragon, targeting my face-up Silverrokket Dragon. At this time, can I activate the effect of Silverrokket Dragon?
A: In this scenario, if there are no cards in your opponent’s Extra Deck, you cannot activate the effect of Silverrokket Dragon when it is targeted by the effect of Booster Dragon.

A: Even in this scenario, since your opponent has a card in their Extra Deck, you can activate the effect of Silverrokket Dragon when it is targeted by the effect of Booster Dragon. In this case, when banishing a monster from your opponent’s Extra Deck, Archfiend Eccentrick is banished.
SD36-JP002 Rokket Tracer
- This card’s effect is a Quick Effect.
- This effect targets 1 face-up card on your field.

Q: A Borreload Dragon and Borrelsword Dragon that were both Special Summoned from the Extra Deck are in my Monster Zones. If my opponent activates Dark Hole and both Borreload Dragon and Borrelsword Dragon are destroyed, can I activate the effect of Rokket Recharger?

A: In this scenario, since a DARK monster on your field that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck was destroyed, you can activate the effect of Rokket Recharger. In that case, since you must target one of the monsters that was destroyed after being Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, you must target Borreload Dragon. (You cannot target Borrelsword Dragon, since it was Special Summoned from the Graveyard.)

- This effect finishes resolving by Fusion Summoning a monster from the Extra Deck. (The part of the effect that prevents the Special Summoned monster from attacking other than to attack monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and makes it unaffected by the effects of monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck is applied immediately once this effect resolves.)
Q: Borrelguard Dragon and Anesthrokket Dragon are the only monsters on my field. In this situation, can I activate Rapid Trigger?
A: The effect of Rapid Trigger performs a Fusion Summon by destroying the Fusion Material monsters on your field. Borrelguard Dragon cannot be destroyed by card effects, so it cannot be destroyed as a material. Therefore, in this scenario, you cannot activate Rapid Trigger since you do not have the required materials that can be destroyed.
Q: I activate Rapid Trigger while the only monsters on my field are Autorokket Dragon and Magnarokket Dragon. If my opponent chains Compulsory Evacuation Device and returns Magnarokket Dragon to my hand, how does Rapid Trigger resolve?
A: The effect of Rapid Trigger performs a Fusion Summon by destroying the Fusion Material monsters on your field. Therefore, in this scenario, if you do not have all the required materials on your field when resolving the effect, the effect is not applied. (In this case, Autorokket Dragon is not destroyed and remains on the field.)
Q: I activate Rapid Trigger while the only monsters on my field are Autorokket Dragon and Magnarokket Dragon. If my opponent chains Vanity’s Emptiness, how does Rapid Trigger resolve?
A: In this scenario, Rapid Trigger resolves while the effect of Vanity’s Emptiness that prevents players from Special Summoning is applied. In that case, since you cannot Fusion Summon, you do not destroy any Fusion Materials. (Neither Autorokket Dragon nor Magnarokket Dragon are destroyed, and they remain on the field.)
Q: I activate Rapid Trigger while the only monsters on my field are Autorokket Dragon and Magnarokket Dragon. When the effect resolves, if my opponent applies the effect of their Obstructive Curtain in the Graveyard to prevent Magnarokket Dragon from being destroyed, what happens?
A: In this scenario, due to the effect of your opponent’s Obstructive Curtain, Magnarokket Dragon is not destroyed, but Autorokket Dragon is still destroyed. In that case, since the required Fusion Materials were not destroyed, the Fusion Monster is not Special Summoned from the Extra Deck.

Q: I activate the second effect of Striker Dragon, targeting a Gateway Dragon on my field and a Magnarokket Dragon in my Graveyard. When resolving the effect, if I apply the effect of a Return of the Dragon Lords in my Graveyard and prevent Gateway Dragon from being destroyed, what happens?
