Q: If Overlay Regen is activated, but Mystical Space Typhoon is chained, targeting and destroying Overlay Regen, how does Overlay Regen resolve?

Q: If Overlay Regen is activated, but Forbidden Lance is chained so that the targeted monster becomes unaffected by other Spell/Trap effects, how does Overlay Regen resolve?

A: In either case, it is not possible to attach Overlay Regen to the targeted monster as an Xyz Material, so it is sent to the Graveyard.

Q: Supervise is equipped to Doom Shaman, so that Doom Shaman has gained its effect because of Supervise. If the effect of Doom Shaman is activated, but Mystical Space Typhoon is chained, targeting and destroying Supervise, will the effect of Doom Shaman resolve?
A: In this case, when the effect of Doom Shaman resolves, Supervise has been destroyed so Doom Shaman is treated as a Normal Monster again, but the effect of Doom Shaman still Special Summons 1 Fiend-Type monster. However, since Doom Shaman is now a Normal Monster, it is not possible for its effect to continually target the Special Summoned monster. (Thus, if Doom Shaman leaves the field, its effect to destroy the Special Summoned monster will not apply.)

Q: If the effect of Doom Shaman is activated, but Book of Moon or Raigeki Break is chained so that Doom Shaman is not face-up on the field when its effect resolves, does its effect apply?
A: In this case, if Doom Shaman is no longer face-up on the field when its effect resolves, you still Special Summon 1 Fiend-Type monster. However, since Doom Shaman is now a Normal Monster, it is not possible for its effect to continually target the Special Summoned monster. (Thus, if Doom Shaman leaves the field, its effect to destroy the Special Summoned monster will not apply.)

Q: I activate the effect of Infernal Flame Emperor by banishing 5 FIRE monsters from my Graveyard. My opponent activates Emergency Provisions in a chain by sending 2 of their Spell/Trap Cards to the Graveyard, so that the remaining number of Spell/Trap Cards on the field is 3. Will the effect of Infernal Flame Emperor still resolve?
A: In this case, since the effect of Infernal Flame Emperor would not be able to destroy the same number of Spell/Trap Cards on the field as the number of FIRE monsters banished, its effect is not applied. (No Spell/Trap Cards are destroyed.)
