DP20-JP001 Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon
Q: If a Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon that was Ritual Summoned using Blue-Eyes White Dragon declares an attack, can its effect be activated if there are any Link Monsters on the opponent’s field?
A: If the only monsters on your opponent’s field are Link Monsters, there are no monsters whose battle positions can be changed, so the effect of Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon cannot be activated when it declares an attack. However, if there are Link Monsters along with non-Link Monsters on your opponent’s field, you can still activate the effect of Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon when it declares an attack.

Q: When my Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon declares an attack and activates its effect, my opponent chains Compulsory Evacuation Device, so that there are no monsters on my opponent’s field. In this case, will Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon inflict piercing battle damage this turn through its effect?
A: When resolving the effect of Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, if there are no monsters on your opponent’s field, even though the part of the effect that changes monsters to Defense Position cannot be applied, the effect that allows Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon to inflict piercing battle damage this turn still applies.

DP20-JP004 Rampage with Eyes of Blue
Q: I Special Summon a Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon from my hand by its own procedure this turn. During the same turn, can I activate Rampage with Eyes of Blue?
A: You cannot activate Rampage with Eyes of Blue during the turn you Normal or Special Summoned any monsters other than Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The effect of Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon treats it as Blue-Eyes White Dragon while it is face-up on the field, so treat this scenario as if Blue-Eyes White Dragon has been Special Summoned. Therefore, you can activate Rampage with Eyes of Blue during the same turn.

A: You cannot activate Rampage with Eyes of Blue during the turn you Normal or Special Summoned any monsters other than Blue-Eyes White Dragon. While Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon is in your hand, it is not treated as Blue-Eyes White Dragon, so you cannot Special Summon it.

Q: If Rampage with Eyes of Blue is the only card in my hand, and I have no cards on my field or in my Graveyard, can I activate that Rampage with Eyes of Blue?
A: Even if Rampage with Eyes of Blue is the only card in your hand, and you have no cards on your field or in your Graveyard, you can still activate that Rampage with Eyes of Blue. In that case, Rampage with Eyes of Blue is banished face-down, and you Special Summon up to 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons from your Deck normally.

Q: If Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 is face-up in my Monster Zone, can I activate Rampage with Eyes of Blue?
A: Even in this scenario, you can activate Rampage with Eyes of Blue. Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 is unaffected by Spell effects, so it will not be banished by the effect of Rampage with Eyes of Blue, however all other cards in your hand, on your field, and in your Graveyard are banished face-down. Even in this case, you will Special Summon up to 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons from your Deck.

Q: When I activate Rampage with Eyes of Blue, my opponent chains Imperial Iron Wall. In this case, how does the effect of Rampage with Eyes of Blue resolve?
A: In this scenario, Rampage with Eyes of Blue will resolve while the effect of Imperial Iron Wall that prevents players from banishing cards is applying. Since the effect of Rampage with Eyes of Blue cannot banish any cards face-down, you cannot Special Summon any Blue-Eyes White Dragons from your Deck. (However, since Rampage with Eyes of Blue was activated successfully, you cannot Normal or Special Summon any monsters that turn other than Blue-Eyes White Dragon.) Also note that if the effect of Imperial Iron Wall is already applying, you cannot activate Rampage with Eyes of Blue.

Q: When I activate Rampage with Eyes of Blue, my opponent chains Mystical Space Typhoon, and destroys Rampage with Eyes of Blue. In this case, how does the effect of Rampage with Eyes of Blue resolve?
A: The effect of Rampage with Eyes of Blue banishes all cards from your field (including itself), your hand, and your Graveyard face-down. In this scenario, if Rampage with Eyes of Blue was destroyed and removed from the field by the effect of the chained Mystical Space Typhoon, you cannot apply the effect of banishing those cards including itself, so you also cannot Special Summon any Blue-Eyes White Dragons from your Deck. (None of your cards are banished face-down.) Even so, you cannot Normal or Special Summon any monsters that turn other than Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Q: Can I activate the effect of Cyber Eternity Dragon by banishing it from my Graveyard, if there are no face-up Fusion Monsters on my field?
A: The third effect of Cyber Eternity Dragon will also be applied to all Fusion Monsters that are Special Summoned later in the turn, not just those that are face-up on your field when the effect resolves. Even if you have no Fusion Monsters on your field, you can activate this effect.

A: In this scenario, after your opponent’s Sangan is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, there are no monsters remaining on your opponent’s field, so you cannot activate the effect of Eternal Evolution Burst.

DP20-JP016 Cybernetic Revolution
Q: Can I Special Summon Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon from my Extra Deck with the effect of Cybernetic Revolution?
A: Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon must first be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by its own procedure, so it cannot be Special Summoned by the effect of Cybernetic Revolution.

DP20-JP023 Blackwing Full Armored Master
Q: While my Blackwing Full Armored Master is face-up in the Extra Monster Zone, my opponent Tribute Summons Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch and activates its effect. At this time, if my opponent chains the effect of By Order of the Emperor and negates that activation, will the effect of Blackwing Full Armored Master that places a Wedge Counter on the opponent’s monster be applied?
A: In this scenario, since the activation of the effect of Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch was negated By Order of the Emperor, the effect of Blackwing Full Armored Master that places a Wedge Counter on it is not applied.

In this situation, if I activate the effect of Blackwing Full Armored Master during my End Phase that destroys all monsters on the field with Wedge Counters on it, but my opponent chains Book of Moon and changes Goyo Guardian to face-down Defense Position, what happens?
A: When resolving the effect of Blackwing Full Armored Master that destroys all monsters on the field with Wedge Counters on them, monsters that were changed to face-down Defense Position (Goyo Guardian in this scenario) will have their Wedge Counters removed, so they are not destroyed.

DP20-JP024 Blackwing – Simoom the Poison Winds
Q: When I activate the effect of Blackwing – Simoom the Poison Winds in my hand, my opponent chains Mind Crush and declares Blackwing – Simoom the Poison Winds. In this case, if the Blackwing – Simoom the Poison Winds whose effect was activated is discarded by the effect of Mind Crush, how does its effect resolve?
A: If the Blackwing – Simoom the Poison Winds whose effect was activated is not in your hand when that effect resolves, you still place 1 Black Whirlwind from your Deck face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone, but you cannot then apply the part of the effect that Normal Summons Blackwing – Simoom the Poison Winds from your hand or sends it to the Graveyard. (The part of the effect that prevents you from Special Summoning monsters from your Extra Deck for the rest of this turn other than DARK monsters is applied normally.) Since Black Whirlwind was placed on the field, it is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase and you take 1000 damage.

Q: I activated the effect of Blackwing – Simoom the Poison Winds, and placed Black Whirlwind from my Deck face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone.

DP20-JP025 Blackwing – Auster the Southern Wind
Q: A Hand-Holding Genie is the only face-up monster on my opponent’s field, and a Wedge Counter was placed on it by the effect of Blackwing Armor Master. In this situation, can I activate the effect of Blackwing – Auster the Southern Wind that places a Wedge Counter on each face-up monster on my opponent’s field?
A: Each face-up monster on the field can only have 1 Wedge Counter on it. In this scenario, you cannot place a second Wedge Counter on a monster that already has one due to the effect of other cards such as Blackwing Armor Master. Since there are no monsters on the field that you can place a Wedge Counter on, you cannot activate that effect of Blackwing – Auster the Southern Wind.

A: The effect of Glowing Bowgun that returns it to your hand can be activated when the equipped monster is used as material for a successful Synchro Summon. Therefore, if that Synchro Summon was negated by Solemn Judgment, you cannot activate the effect of Glowing Bowgun.

DP20-JP027 Black Bird Close
Q: If my opponent activates the effect of Sky Striker Ace Raye by Tributing it, can I chain Black Bird Close?
A: Even if your opponent activates a monster effect by Tributing that monster on their field, you can chain Black Bird Close. In this scenario, the activation of the effect of Sky Striker Ace Raye is negated, but since the effect of Black Bird Close cannot destroy Sky Striker Ace Raye, you cannot Special Summon a Black-Winged Dragon from your Extra Deck.

In this case, will the effect of Starliege Photon Blast Dragon gained from Photon Vanisher that banishes the monster it battles be applied?
A: If a monster that was Xyz Summoned using Photon Vanisher as a material battles a monster with the same ATK and both are destroyed, the effect that banishes the opponent’s monster is not applied. (In this scenario, your opponent’s Zubaba Buster is sent to the Graveyard normally.)

DP20-JP037 Photon Hand
Q: My Cyberdarkness Dragon in the Extra Monster Zone is equipped with Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon by its own effect. In this situation, can I activate Photon Hand?
A: In this scenario, you do not have a “Galaxy” or “Photon” monster face-up in your Monster Zone, so you cannot activate Photon Hand. However, if you had a “Galaxy” or “Photon” monster other than Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon on your field, you could activate Photon Hand. In that case, since you have Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon on your field as well, you can target a monster other than an Xyz Monster with Photon Hand.

(In this scenario, it will be a monster other than Photon Crusher.)

If your Abyss Actor – Comic Relief switches control to your opponent and your opponent activates the effect, it is still the owner of Abyss Actor – Comic Relief that chooses which Set card in their own Spell & Trap Zone to destroy. (The controller does not destroy a card.)

Q: Abyss Playhouse – Fantastic Theater is face-up in my Field Zone, and Abyss Actor – Mellow Madonna is face-up in my Monster Zone. In this situation, if I have no Set Spell/Trap Cards on my field, what will my opponent’s activated monster effect be?
A: Even if you have no Set Spell/Trap Cards on your field, as long as you control a Pendulum Summoned “Abyss Actor” Pendulum Monster, the effect of Abyss Playhouse – Fantastic Theater will be applied when your opponent’s activated monster effect resolves. In that case, since there are no cards to be destroyed, the monster effect finishes resolving without applying any effect.
