Q: While the effect of Reverse Trap is being applied, can the effect of Armored Cybern that reduces ATK and destroys a monster be activated?
A: The effect of Armored Cybern cannot be activated if the equipped monster has less than 1000 ATK.
(The effect can be activated providing the equipped monster has 1000 or more ATK)
Furthermore, if Reverse Trap is being applied when the effect of Armored Cybern resolves, the ATK is not reduced by 1000 and is instead increased by 1000. In this case, since the ATK cannot be reduced, the targeted card is not destroyed.
(This is no different if Reverse Trap is being applied or if it is activated in a chain to the activation of the effect of Armored Cybern)

Q: If Book of Moon is activated in a chain to the activation of Shadow Spell, so that the targeted monster is flipped to face-down Defense Position, how does its effect resolve?

In this case, the monster is in face-down Defense Position, and as a result only the effect that prevents it from changing its Battle Position is applied, but if that monster is flipped face-up by effects like Ceasefire, the effects that reduce the ATK of that monster by 700 and prevent it from attacking are also applied, so that all of the effects of Shadow Spell are applied normally.

Q: If you Special Summon Van’Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord by negating the activation of 2 opponent’s Spell Cards activated in the same chain by the effect of Vanity’s Call, does the effect that inflict 1500 damage activate twice?
A: If you negate the activation of 2 of the opponent’s Spell Cards by the effect of 1 Vanity’s Call, the effect of Van’Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord can be activated as a result of the activation of Vanity’s Call and it is Special Summoned form the hand.
In this case, when Van’Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord is successfully Special Summoned, the effect of Van’Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord activates only once.
In the proposed scenario, the activation of 2 Spell Cards was negated, but the type of cards that were negated is only Spell Cards, 1 type of card.
Therefore, the effect that inflicts 1500 damage is only applied once.

Q: One Mirror Wall is active.
If a monster that had its ATK halved by the effect of that Mirror Wall declares another attack during the next turn, is its ATK halved once again by the effect of Mirror Wall?
A: A single copy of Mirror Wall only halves the ATK of a monster once.
In the proposed scenario, even if a monster whose ATK was halved by being affected by the effect of a single copy of Mirror Wall declares a new attack, the ATK is not halved once again (it is not reduced to 1/4th).
Furthermore, providing there are two copies of Mirror Wall, since the effects of each of them halves the ATK of the attacking monster, as an end result the ATK is reduced to 1/4th.

Q: During this turn, you have used the effect of General Grunard of the Ice Barrier to Normal Summon an “Ice Barrier” monster.
If the General Grunard of the Ice Barrier that used the effect is sent to the Graveyard and Special Summoned by the effect of Monster Reborn, can its effect be used again?
A: The Normal Summon in addition to your Normal Summon gained by the effect of General Grunard of the Ice Barrier can only be performed once per turn.
Therefore, during a turn in which the effect of General Grunard of the Ice Barrier has been used, even if you Special Summon a new General Grunard of the Ice Barrier, you cannot gain additional Normal Summons.

Therefore, even if the Ritual Summon was performed tributing a Phantom of Chaos that gained the effects of Djinn Releaser of Rituals, the effect that prevents the opponent from Special Summoning is not applied.
