Q: How do you Special Summon Ultimaya Tzolkin?
A: Ultimaya Tzolkin cannot be Synchro Summoned. You can only Special Summon it through the method written in its text, which is by sending 2 Level 5 or higher monsters with the same Level (1 Tuner and 1 non-Tuner) to the Graveyard. For example, you can send Quickdraw Synchron (Level 5) and another Level 5 non-Tuner monster to the Graveyard to Special Summon it.

Q: Are the monsters sent to the Graveyard to Special Summon Ultimaya Tzolkin considered Synchro Materials? For example, if Hyper Synchron is treated as a Level 5 monster due to the effect of Star Changer, and it is sent to the Graveyard to Special Summon Ultimaya Tzolkin, will the effects of Hyper Synchron apply?
A: The monsters sent to the Graveyard to Special Summon Ultimaya Tzolkin are not considered Synchro Materials. Therefore, the effects of Hyper Synchron will not apply.

Q: Can Ultimaya Tzolkin be Special Summoned by the effect of Limit Overdrive?

A: Ultimaya Tzolkin is Special Summoned by sending 2 Level 5 or higher monsters with the same Level (1 Tuner and 1 non-Tuner) to the Graveyard. Face-down monsters and Monster Tokens cannot be sent to the Graveyard to Special Summon it.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14654&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: Can Ultimaya Tzolkin be Special Summoned by sending a Plaguespreader Zombie to the Graveyard, after it was Special Summoned by its own effect, and treated as a Level 7 or higher monster with Galaxy Queen’s Light?
A: Since Ultimaya Tzolkin must be Special Summoned by sending 2 Level 5 or higher monsters with the same Level (1 Tuner and 1 non-Tuner) to the Graveyard, it cannot be Special Summoned using a Plaguespreader Zombie that was Special Summoned by its own effect.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14651&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: Can Ultimaya Tzolkin be Special Summoned while the effect of Macro Cosmos is applying?

http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14655&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: Can Ultimaya Tzolkin be targeted with De-Synchro?
A: While you control another Synchro Monster, Ultimaya Tzolkin cannot be targeted by card effects or attacks, so it cannot be targeted with De-Synchro. If you do not control any other Synchro Monsters, Ultimaya Tzolkin can be targeted with De-Synchro. In that case, it will be returned to the Extra Deck, but because the 2 monsters sent to the Graveyard to Special Summon Ultimaya Tzolkin are not considered Synchro Materials, the effect of De-Synchro which Special Summons monsters from your Graveyard is not applied.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14652&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If I control Ultimaya Tzolkin and have a Level Eater in my Graveyard, can I activate the effect of Level Eater by targeting Ultimaya Tzolkin?
A: Yes, you can. Since Ultimaya Tzolkin is treated as a Level 12 monster, its Level will then decrease to 11, and Level Eater will be Special Summoned.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14659&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If Phantom of Chaos has gained the name and effects of Ultimaya Tzolkin, what Level does it become?
A: Being treated as a Level 12 monster is not considered a monster effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin, so even if Phantom of Chaos has gained the name and effects of Ultimaya Tzolkin, it is not treated as a Level 12 monster. (It will remain a Level 4 monster.)
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14662&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If the effect of Psi-Blocker is activated, declaring Ultimaya Tolkin, what Level does Ultimaya Tzolkin become?

http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14661&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: While Skill Drain is applying, what Level does Ultimaya Tzolkin become?
A: Being treated as a Level 12 monster is not considered a monster effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin, so even if Skill Drain negates its effects, it remains a Level 12 monster.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14660&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: When resolving Nekroz Kaleidomirror, can Ultimaya Tzolkin be sent from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard to perform the Ritual Summon?

Q: Can the effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin activate after Scrap-Iron Scarecrow is Set by its effect at Chain Link 1?
A: In this situation, since Scrap-Iron Scarecrow is Set again instead of being sent to the Graveyard after it resolves, the effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin can be activated.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14649&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: Can the effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin activate if The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil or Zoma the Spirit, which have become monsters due to their own effects, are changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of Book of Moon at Chain Link 1?
A: If The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil has become a monster due to its own effect and targeted by Book of Moon, it will be changed to face-down Defense Position and remain in the Monster Zone, so the effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin cannot be activated. If Zoma the Spirit has become a monster due to its own effect and targeted by Book of Moon, it will be Set face-down in the Spell & Trap Zone, so the effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin can be activated.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14650&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If the effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin is activated, but Book of Moon or Compulsory Evacuation Device are chained so that Ultimaya Tzolkin is no longer face-up on the field when its effect resolves, does the effect to Special Summon a Synchro Monster still apply?
A: In this case, the effect resolves normally and Special Summons a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck.

http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14645&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If the effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin is activated, but the activation or effect is negated by Light and Darkness Dragon or Skill Drain, can the effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin be activated again that turn?
A: In either case, even if the activation/effect is negated, the effect cannot be activated again that turn.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14646&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: Can a Synchro Monster Special Summoned by the effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin attack or use its effects?
A: Yes, it can. However, note that being Special Summoned by the effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin is not considered a proper Synchro Summon. For example, you could not activate the second effect of Stardust Dragon that Special Summons it from the Graveyard if it was initially Special Summoned by the effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14648&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If I control 2 copies of Ultimaya Tzolkin, can either of them be targeted by card effects or attacks?
A: If you control 2 copies of Ultimaya Tzolkin, since each one is applying its effect, neither of them can be targeted by card effects or attacks.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14644&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If I control Ultimaya Tzolkin, and an Inzektor Exa-Beetle equipped with a Synchro Monster, can Ultimaya Tzolkin be targeted by card effects or attacks?
A: The effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin will not apply, since the other Synchro Monster is not face-up in your Monster Zone.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14643&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If I control Ultimaya Tzolkin, and a face-down Defense Position Synchro Monster, can Ultimaya Tzolkin be targeted by card effects or attacks?
A: The effect of Ultimaya Tzolkin will not apply, since the other Synchro Monster is not face-up in your Monster Zone.

Q: If Merlin was Special Summoned by the effect of Monster Reborn, can its first effect be activated this turn?
A: During the turn you have already Special Summoned a monster other than a “Noble Knight” monster, you cannot activate the first effect of Merlin. Since Merlin is not a “Noble Knight” monster, if Merlin was Special Summoned by the effect of Monster Reborn this turn, you cannot activate its first effect.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14625&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If I activated Monster Reborn by targeting a monster other than a “Noble Knight” monster, but the activation was negated by Magic Jammer, can I activate the first effect of Merlin this turn? If the effect of Monster Reborn was negated by The Fabled Unicore instead, can I activate the first effect of Merlin this turn?
A: In the first situation, if Monster Reborn targets a monster other than a “Noble Knight” monster but its activation is negated by Magic Jammer, you can activate the first effect of Merlin during the same turn. However, if only the effect of Monster Reborn was negated by The Fabled Unicore instead, you cannot activate the first effect of Merlin during the same turn.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14622&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: Can I activate the first effect of Merlin if I attempted to Special Summon Photon Thrasher this turn, but the Summon was negated by Solemn Judgment?
A: Since you attempted to Special Summon a monster other than a “Noble Knight” monster this turn, you cannot activate the first effect of Merlin.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14624&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If the first effect of Merlin was activated, but Vanity’s Emptiness was chained so that the effect of Merlin could not resolve, and later on Vanity’s Emptiness is destroyed, can I still Special Summon monsters other than “Noble Knight” monsters this turn?
A: If the effect of Merlin was activated, even if you could not Special Summon a monster because the effect of Vanity’s Emptiness was applying, the effect was still properly activated. Even if Vanity’s Emptiness is later destroyed, you cannot Special Summon any monsters that turn other than “Noble Knight” monsters.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14623&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: When Synchro or Xyz Summoning using the effects of Merlin, are the correct materials needed?
A: The second effect of Merlin is not an effect that Special Summons a Synchro Monster without using materials. To perform the Synchro Summon, you must use a Tuner and non-Tuner monsters whose combined Levels equal the Level of the “Noble Knight” Synchro Monster you are Summoning, otherwise you cannot activate the effect. Likewise, to perform the Xyz Summon with the effect of Merlin, you must use 2 monsters with the same Level, otherwise you cannot activate the effect.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14621&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: When Synchro or Xyz Summoning using the effects of Merlin, can Solemn Judgment be used to negate the Summon?
A: The effect of Merlin does not perform a Synchro/Xyz Summon when it resolves, but allows you to perform a Synchro/Xyz Summon immediately after it resolves. Therefore, as long as the effect of Merlin was activated as Chain Link 1, Solemn Judgment can be used to negate the Synchro/Xyz Summon. (However, if Merlin was activated as Chain Link 2 or higher, Solemn Judgment cannot be activated.)
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14620&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: When performing a Synchro Summon using the effect of Merlin, can I use an opponent’s monster that was targeted with Synchro Material this turn?
A: Yes, you can.

Q: Can the first effect of Noble Knight Bedwyr be activated while the effect of Dimension Fortress Weapon is applying?
A: No, it cannot. Also, if the effect is activated, and Call of the Haunted is chained, targeting and Special Summoning Dimension Fortress Weapon, the effect of Noble Knight Bedwyr cannot be applied.

A: Even if Noble Knight Bedwyr is not face-up on the field when its effect resolves, the effect is applied normally.

Q: If the second effect of Noble Knight Bedwyr is activated by targeting a Noble Arms – Gallatin on my opponent’s side of the field and a Noble Knight Gawayn on my side of the field, when the effect resolves, where is Noble Arms – Gallatin placed?
A: In this case, even though the equipment of Noble Arms – Gallatin is transferred from your opponent’s monster to yours, control of Noble Arms – Gallatin itself does not change. (Noble Arms – Gallatin remains in your opponent’s Spell & Trap Zone, equipped to your Noble Knight Gawayn).

A: In this case, the effect of Noble Knight Bedwyr will equip the targeted Equip Spell Card to the targeted monster as usual.

Q: If Last Chapter of the Noble Knights is activated, but Compulsory Evacuation Device is chained, so that the opponent no longer controls any monsters when Last Chapter of the Noble Knights resolves, does its effect apply? Also, if Call of the Haunted is chained instead, so that I now control a monster when Last Chapter of the Noble Knights resolves, does its effect apply?
A: When resolving Last Chapter of the Noble Knights, even if your opponent no longer controls any monsters or if you now control a monster, the effect of Last Chapter of the Noble Knights resolves normally.

A: In this case, Last Chapter of the Noble Knights can be activated. If you target an Equip Spell Card like Noble Arms – Gallatin, which can only be equipped to a Warrior-Type monster, then only the effect to Special Summon the targeted monster will apply, and Noble Arms – Gallatin will remain in the Graveyard. Note that if Last Chapter of the Noble Knights targeted Noble Arms – Excaliburn or Celestial Sword – Eatos, which do not need to be equipped to Warrior-Type monsters, even if DNA Surgery is applying, the effect of Last Chapter of the Noble Knights will resolve normally.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14604&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: While Zombie World is applying, can Last Chapter of the Noble Knights be activated?
A: While Zombie World is applying, because monsters on the field and Graveyard have become Zombie-Type, Last Chapter of the Noble Knights cannot be activated by targeting an Equip Spell Card such as Noble Arms – Gallatin, which can only be equipped to Warrior-Type monsters. Therefore, while Zombie World is applying, Last Chapter of the Noble Knights can only be activated by targeting a “Noble Knight” monster and either Noble Arms – Excaliburn or Celestial Sword – Eatos.

Q: If Skill Drain is applying, can a Synchro Summoned Tatsunoko still be used for a Synchro Summon using a monster in the hand as the non-Tuner monster?
A: Being able to use Tatsunoko for a Synchro Summon using a monster in your hand as the non-Tuner is not considered a monster effect, and is not negated by Skill Drain. Therefore, even if Skill Drain is applying, a Synchro Summoned Tatsunoko can still be used for a Synchro Summon using a monster in the hand as the non-Tuner monster.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14639&keyword=&tag=-1

Q: When using Tatsunoko for a Synchro Summon, do I have to use a monster in my hand as a non-Tuner monster?

Q: How does the effect of Gift Exchange work?
A: When Gift Exchange resolves, each player banishes a card from their own Deck, face-down. (At this time, you and your opponent do not have to show each other your respective banished cards.) Then, during the End Phase of the turn you activated Gift Exchange, the effect of adding the banished cards to the hand applies. (The card that Player A banished is added to Player B’s hand, and the card that Player B banished is added to Player A’s hand.)
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14635&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If I activate 2 copies of Gift Exchange during the same turn, what happens during the End Phase?
A: In this case, the effects of each Gift Exchange will resolve separately during the End Phase. (You do not add all of the cards banished by both copies to the hand all at once.)
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14631&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: After resolving Gift Exchange and banishing cards from the Deck face-down, if I activate Primal Seed and add my banished card to my hand, what happens during the End Phase?
A: If one of the cards banished by Gift Exchange is no longer banished during the End Phase because of Primal Seed, then the End Phase effect of Gift Exchange will not apply. (The other card that was banished will not be added to the hand, and remain banished.)

Q: If Gift Exchange is activated, but Needlebug Nest is chained so that a player has 0 cards in their Deck when Gift Exchange resolves, does its effect apply?
A: If either player’s Deck has 0 cards in it when Gift Exchange resolves, its effect cannot be applied. (Neither player banishes a card from their Deck.)
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14633&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If I activate Gift Exchange, but also chain Call of the Haunted, targeting and Special Summoning Chaos Hunter, how will Gift Exchange resolve?
A: In this case, since the effect of Chaos Hunter prevents your opponent from banishing any cards, the effect of Gift Exchange cannot be applied. (Neither player banishes a card from their Deck.)

http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14627&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If Planted Explosives is activated, but Seven Tools of the Bandit is chained, how will each effect of Planted Explosives resolve?
A: In this case, since the activation of Planted Explosives is negated by Seven Tools of the Bandit, its effect to inflict 300 damage to the opponent for each card they control cannot resolve. Also, since Planted Explosives is not treated as being destroyed while on the field and sent to the Graveyard, its effect to inflict 1000 damage to the opponent will not activate.

Q: If I activate Planted Explosives, but my opponent chains Mystical Space Typhoon, targeting and destroying Planted Explosives, how will each effect of Planted Explosives resolve?

Q: If there is a Level 5 or higher Pendulum Monster in my opponent’s Pendulum Zone, can I Special Summon Junk Giant using its first effect?
A: Pendulum Monsters placed in a Pendulum Zone are not treated as monsters. Therefore, even if your opponent has a Pendulum Monster such as Stargazer Magician in their Pendulum Zone, but has no Level 5 or higher monsters in their Monster Zone, you cannot Special Summon Junk Giant with its effect.

A: The effect of Junk Giant only prevents your opponent from activating cards/effects when the Synchro Monster is Synchro Summoned.

Q: If I control Junk Giant, but my opponent uses Synchro Material and Synchro Summons with it, will the second effect of Junk Giant apply?
A: Even in this case, the effect of Junk Giant is applied. Note that “the opponent” is viewed from the perspective of the player who used Junk Giant for a Synchro Summon (you are the opponent in this case), therefore you cannot activate cards/effects when the Synchro Summon is performed.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14787&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If I Synchro Summon using Junk Giant as a material, and then I activate Torrential Tribute in response to the Synchro Summon, can my opponent chain any cards/effects to Torrential Tribute?

Q: While the effect of my opponent’s Dark Simorgh is applying, can I activate the first effect of Absolute King Back Jack?
A: While the effect of your opponent’s Dark Simorgh is applying, you cannot activate the first effect of Absolute King Back Jack.

Q: When resolving the first effect of Absolute King Back Jack, if the excavated card is Dark Coffin, how does the rest of the effect resolve?
A: If the excavated card is Dark Coffin, because it is a Normal Trap Card, it will be Set in your Spell & Trap Zone. Even so, because Dark Coffin cannot normally be activated while Set on the field, the effect of Absolute King Back Jack which allows you to activate the Set card during the same turn is not applied.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14781&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If Scrap-Iron Scarecrow was Set by the effect of Absolute King Back Jack, how many times can Scrap-Iron Scarecrow be activated this turn?
A: Scrap-Iron Scarecrow, due to its own effect, is Set instead of being sent to the Graveyard after it resolves. Once Set again by its own effect, it is no longer treated as a card Set by the effect of Absolute King Back Jack, so you will not be able to activate it again that turn. (Therefore, you can only activate Scrap-Iron Scarecrow once this turn.)
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14783&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: When resolving the second effect of Absolute King Back Jack, is my opponent able to look at the cards I pick up?

Q: If Absolute King Back Jack is sent to my Graveyard during my opponent’s turn, can both of its effects be activated on the same chain?
A: Yes, they can. In that case, the second effect of Absolute King Back Jack must be activated first, and the first effect must be chained to it. (You cannot reverse this chain order.) Note that the first effect of Absolute King Back Jack cannot be activated during the Damage Step.

Q: If my opponent’s Skill Drain is active, and I Special Summon a monster with the effect of Rose Lover, will that monster’s effects be negated by Skill Drain?
A: The monster Special Summoned by the effect of Rose Lover is unaffected by your opponent’s Trap effects, so it is unaffected by your opponent’s Skill Drain as well. (That monster’s effects are not negated.)

Q: If I Special Summon a monster with the effect of Rose Lover, and then my opponent activates Rivalry of Warlords, what happens?

Q: If I Special Summon a monster with the effect of Rose Lover, and then it is changed to face-down Defense Position with Book of Moon, is it still unaffected by my opponent’s Trap effects?
A: If a monster Special Summoned by the effect of Rose Lover is changed to face-down Defense Position with Book of Moon, the effect which makes it unaffected by the opponent’s Trap effects is no longer applied. (Which means the monster can now be affected by your opponent’s Trap effects.)

A: If the effect of your Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon is activated, but the activation is negated by Divine Wrath, you may Special Summon monsters other than Dragon-Type monsters this turn. If the effect is negated by The Fabled Unicore, you cannot Special Summon monsters other than Dragon-Type monsters this turn.

Q: If I activate the effect of Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon, but my opponent chains D.D. Crow and banishes the targeted Fusion Monster, how does the effect of Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon resolve?
A: In this case, if the targeted Fusion Monster is no longer in your Graveyard, the effect of Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon does not apply. Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon itself is not banished, and no monster is Special Summoned from your Extra Deck. Even in this case, however, you cannot Special Summon monsters other than Dragon-Type monsters this turn.

Q: The Level of Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon has been increased by 1 using Star Changer. If the effect of Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon is activated, how will it resolve? In addition, if Star Changer is chained to the effect of Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon, how does its effect resolve?
A: If you want to Special Summon a monster from your Extra Deck with the effect of Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon, you must apply the Level of Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon while on the field. If Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon is treated as a Level 3 monster on the field, and you target a Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon (Level 8) in your Graveyard, you would have to Special Summon a Level 11 Dragon-Type Synchro Monster. If Star Changer is chained to the effect of Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon, changing its Level, and you do not have a Dragon-Type Synchro Monster in your Extra Deck with the correct Level, the Special Summon cannot take place. (Even so, Hellfire Boatwatcher Ghost Charon and the targeted Fusion Monster in your Graveyard are banished.)

A: When Mystical Space Typhoon destroys Call of the Haunted, the effect of Call of the Haunted is applied and destroys the monster it Special Summoned. In doing so, the effect of Blackwing – Kris the Crack of Dawn will also apply, meaning it won’t be destroyed and will remain on the field.

Q: I control a Number 14: Greedy Sarameya, and my opponent activates Secret Barrel. In this case, due to the effect of Number 14: Greedy Sarameya, my opponent takes the damage from their Secret Barrel instead. At this time, can I activate the effect of Peropero Kerperos in my Graveyard?
A: In this situation, because the effect of Number 14: Greedy Sarameya prevents you from taking the damage, it is not a scenario in which you are taking damage from an opponent’s card effect. Therefore you cannot activate the effect of your Peropero Kerperos. Also note that even though the effect of Number 14: Greedy Sarameya makes your opponent take the damage instead, your opponent could not activate the effect of their own Peropero Kerperos in their Graveyard.

A: In this case, even if the affected monsters become something other than Zombie-Type, the effect of Isolde, Belle of the Underworld still applies. Also, you still cannot Special Summon monsters other than Zombie-Type monsters for the rest of this turn.

http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14731&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If Masked HERO Anki attacks directly with its effect, and my opponent activates Dimension Wall, will the battle damage I take be halved?
A: In that case, since you are taking the battle damage instead of your opponent, you will take the normal amount of battle damage. (The damage is not halved.)

Q: If Masked HERO Anki destroys a Pendulum Monster by battle, so that it is returned to the Extra Deck, can the second effect of Masked HERO Anki be activated?

Q: When can the second effect of Blackwing Tamer – Hawk Joe the Jetblack be activated correctly?
A: If the effect of Blackwing Tamer – Hawk Joe the Jetblack is activated when it is targeted for an attack, then the effect is activated in response to the declaration of the attack, or if a replay occurs and Blackwing Tamer – Hawk Joe the Jetblack is re-selected as an attack target. (Note that if Sakuretsu Armor or another card effect is activated in response to the attack first, the effect of Blackwing Tamer – Hawk Joe the Jetblack can be activated at Chain Link 2 or higher.) In addition, if Blackwing Tamer – Hawk Joe the Jetblack is targeted by an opponent’s card effect, you can only activate its effect directly in a chain. (You cannot activate the effect if it is not possible to chain directly to it.)

A: Only a face-up monster is the correct target of Offerings to the Doomed, so in your example, if the other targeted monster is in face-down Defense Position when the effect of Blackwing Tamer – Hawk Joe the Jetblack resolves, it is no longer a correct target. The effect of Blackwing Tamer – Hawk Joe the Jetblack is not applied, and Blackwing Tamer – Hawk Joe the Jetblack is destroyed normally by Offerings to the Doomed.

Q: If the second effect of Blackwing Tamer – Hawk Joe the Jetblack is activated, but Raigeki Break is chained, targeting and destroying Blackwing Tamer – Hawk Joe the Jetblack, is its effect still applied?

A: The damage that Number 14: Greedy Sarameya makes your opponent take instead is not treated as damage from your card effect. Therefore, the effect of your opponent’s Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons will not activate.

A: In this case, the effect of Number 14: Greedy Sarameya references the original 2100 ATK of Cyber Dragon while it is in the Graveyard, so monsters on the field with 2100 ATK or less will be destroyed.

Q: If Number 14: Greedy Sarameya destroys a monster with 0 original ATK by battle, can its effect be activated?

Q: When the second effect of Number 14: Greedy Sarameya resolves, will it destroy monsters on my side of the field as well?
A: Yes, it will destroy any monster on the field as long as its ATK is equal to or less than the destroyed monster’s original ATK. For example, if you activate the effect when a monster with 2500 ATK is destroyed by battle, Number 14: Greedy Sarameya itself will be destroyed by its own effect.

Q: When Xyz Summoning Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice using a Rank 5 monster and detaching 1 Xyz Material, can the Xyz Material be detached from any monster?
A: When Xyz Summoning Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice this way, you must detach the Xyz Material from the Xyz Monster that you are using for the Xyz Summon. (In other words, you cannot Xyz Summon Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice by using a Rank 5 monster that has no Xyz Materials as the Xyz Material.)

Q: When Xyz Summoning Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice using a Rank 5 monster and detaching 1 Xyz Material from it, is it possible to apply the effects of Xyz Unit, Xyz Override, or Number 19: Freezadon instead of detaching the Xyz Material?
A: Since Xyz Summoning Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice this way is not considered activating a card effect, you cannot apply the effects of these cards.

Q: If the second effect of Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice is activated, and Zero Gravity is chained so that all face-up monsters my opponent controls are changed to Attack Position, are they still destroyed by the effect of Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice?
A: The effect of Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice, upon resolving, destroys all monsters your opponent controls currently in Defense Position. Therefore, in this scenario, any monsters that have been changed to Attack Position by the chained Zero Gravity are not destroyed. (Conversely, any monsters that were changed from Attack Position to Defense Position by Zero Gravity will be destroyed.)

Q: Can Parallel Twister be activated by sending Macro Cosmos or Dimensional Fissure to the Graveyard?
A: While Macro Cosmos is applying, any cards that would be sent to the Graveyard are banished instead. Therefore, it is not possible to activate Parallel Twister while the effect of Macro Cosmos is applying. Additionally, while Dimensional Fissure is applying, any monsters that would be sent to the Graveyard are banished instead. Because Spell/Trap Cards are sent to the Graveyard normally, you can activate Parallel Twister by sending Dimensional Fissure to the Graveyard.

Q: In which situations can Stardust Re-Spark be activated?
A: Stardust Re-Spark can only be activated when an opponent’s monster declares a direct attack. This includes an attack when you control no monsters, or if a monster is able to attack you directly with a card effect. Also, the attacking monster’s ATK must be equal to or greater than your current Life Points. For example, if you have 3000 Life Points, and an opponent’s monster with 3000 ATK attacks you directly, you can activate Stardust Re-Spark.

Q: If I do not have a “Stardust” monster in my Extra Deck or Graveyard, can I activate Stardust Re-Spark?
A: Even if you have no “Stardust” monsters in your Extra Deck or Graveyard, you can activate Stardust Re-Spark. When Stardust Re-Spark resolves, negating the attack and drawing a card is mandatory, but Special Summoning a monster from the Extra Deck or Graveyard is optional. In this case, since you do not have a monster to Special Summon, the effect of Stardust Re-Spark will finish resolving once you draw a card.

Q: While Vanity’s Emptiness is applying, can Stardust Re-Spark be activated?
A: Even while Vanity’s Emptiness is applying, Stardust Re-Spark can be activated. When Stardust Re-Spark resolves, negating the attack and drawing a card is mandatory, but Special Summoning a monster from the Extra Deck or Graveyard is optional. Because Vanity’s Emptiness does not allow you to Special Summon, the effect of Stardust Re-Spark will finish resolving once you draw a card.

Q: While Necrovalley is applying, can Stardust Re-Spark be activated?
A: Even while Necrovalley is applying, Stardust Re-Spark can be activated. When Stardust Re-Spark resolves, negating the attack and drawing a card will apply normally. Then, with respect to the effect that Special Summons a “Stardust” monster, you can either choose not to apply this effect, or you may choose to Special Summon the monster from your Extra Deck. (You cannot choose to Special Summon a monster from your Graveyard.)

Q: While my opponent’s Protector of the Sanctuary is applying its effect, can I activate Stardust Re-Spark?
A: No, you cannot. If Stardust Re-Spark is activated, and Call of the Haunted is chained, targeting and Special Summoning Protector of the Sanctuary, then only the attack is negated. The effects of drawing a card and Special Summoning a monster cannot be applied.

Q: Can I Special Summon Stardust Warrior with the effect of Stardust Re-Spark?
A: Stardust Warrior is a “Stardust” monster, so it can be Special Summoned with the effect of Stardust Re-Spark. Note that if a Stardust Warrior in your Graveyard was not Synchro Summoned properly before, it cannot be Special Summoned with Stardust Re-Spark. (For example, if its Synchro Summon was negated, or if it was sent directly from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard, it cannot be Special Summoned.)

Q: If Stardust Re-Spark is activated, and Forbidden Lance is chained, targeting the attacking monster so that it becomes unaffected by Trap effects, how does Stardust Re-Spark resolve?
A: In this case, since the attacking monster is unaffected by Trap effects, its attack cannot be negated, which also means that the effect to draw a card and to Special Summon a monster cannot be applied.
