A little late, since I spent last weekend in Chicago.
CIBR-JP001 Defect Compiler
Q: There are 2 copies of Defect Compiler on my field. In this case, if I take damage from the effect of my opponent’s Trickstar Lycoris, how will the effect of each Defect Compiler that places a Defect Counter on them be applied?
A: If you would take damage from your opponent’s card effect, the effect of 1 Defect Compiler will be applied and place a Defect Counter on it instead. If there are 2 copies of Defect Compiler on your field in a scenario such as this one, only 1 places a Defect Counter on itself. In that case, since the effect of the other Defect Compiler was not applied, it will gain a Defect Counter the next time you take effect damage from your opponent’s card.

Q: My opponent activated Ring of Destruction, targeting a Defect Compiler on my field. In this case, will the effect of Defect Compiler that places a Defect Counter on it be applied?
A: The effect of Defect Compiler that places a Defect Counter on it is a Continuous Effect. If Defect Compiler is destroyed by your opponent’s Ring of Destruction, its effect is not applied. (You take damage normally.)

Q: My opponent activated One Day of Peace during their turn, and its effect that reduces all damage each player takes to 0 is applied. In this situation, if the effect of my opponent’s Burning Land is applied during my Standby Phase, will the effect of Defect Compiler place a Defect Counter on it instead?
A: The effect of Defect Compiler that places a Defect Counter on it is applied when you would take damage from your opponent’s card effect. In this situation, the damage you would take from the effect of Burning Land becomes 0 due to the effect of One Day of Peace, so the effect of Damage Compiler is never applied. (Do not place a Defect Counter on it.)

CIBR-JP002 Capacitor Stalker
Q: I Normal Summon a Capacitor Stalker and activate its effect, targeting a Balancer Lord on my field. If my opponent chains Book of Moon and changes Balancer Lord to face-down Defense Position, how does the effect of Capacitor Stalker resolve?
A: When resolving the effect of Capacitor Stalker, if the targeted monster is in face-down Defense Position, it is no longer a correct target and the effect is not applied. (Even if the targeted monster is flipped face-up again, it will not gain 800 ATK.)

CIBR-JP004 Trickstar Narkiss
Q: When my opponent activates the effect of Ghost Reaper & Winter Cherries by discarding it, or the effect of World Chalice Guardragon by banishing it from the Graveyard, will the effect of my Trickstar Narkiss that inflicts 200 damage to my opponent apply?
A: When the effect of Ghost Reaper & Winter Cherries is activated, it is discarded from the hand as a cost, but it is still considered an effect that activated in the hand. Similarly, when the effect of World Chalice Guardragon that Special Summons a Normal Monster from the Graveyard is activated, it is banished from the Graveyard as a cost, but it is an effect that activated in the Graveyard. Therefore, when your opponent activates these effects, the effect of your Trickstar Narkiss that inflicts damage to your opponent will be applied.

CIBR-JP005 Dark Angel
Q: Guiding Light and Darklord Morningstar are face-up on my field. In this situation, if my Guiding Light is targeted for an attack by an opponent’s monster, can I activate the effect of Dark Angel from my hand?
A: You can activate the effect of Dark Angel even if a Fairy-Type monster with 0 ATK is targeted for an attack. In this case, the attacked Guiding Light is Tributed, and Darklord Morningstar becomes the new attack target. Since the original ATK of Guiding Light is 0, Darklord Morningstar does not gain any ATK.

Q: When my opponent’s monster attacks my Fairy-Type monster, I activate the effect of Dark Angel from my hand. If my opponent chains Book of Moon and changes the attacking monster to face-down Defense Position, how does the effect of Dark Angel resolve?

Q: When destroying a WATER monster on my field or in my hand with the first effect of Mermail Abyssnereid, can I destroy a monster with an original ATK and DEF of 0, such as Slushy?
A: The effect of Mermail Abyssnereid activated from your hand is an effect that increases the ATK and DEF of the targeted WATER monster by the original ATK and DEF of the destroyed monster.

(You cannot activate the effect of Mermail Abyssnereid if the only other WATER monster you can destroy has both 0 original ATK and DEF.) Also, if an effect is chained to that of Mermail Abyssnereid that results in a monster such as Slushy being the only other WATER monster on your field or in your hand, it is destroyed and the effect finishes resolving.

Q: While there are 2 copies of Soldier Dragon on my field, my opponent activates Dark Hole. At this time, can I activate the effect of each Soldier Dragon?
A: The effect of Soldier Dragon must be activated directly in a chain to an opponent’s card or effect.

If I activate the effect of Whirlwind Machine Streaborg that returns all of my opponent’s cards in the same column to the hand, will that effect also apply to a monster in the Extra Monster Zone?
A: The effect of Whirlwind Machine Streaborg is applied to all cards on your opponent’s field that are in the same column as Whirlwind Machine Streaborg itself.

In this scenario, if your opponent takes control of Whirlwind Machine Streaborg with a chained effect, its effect is applied to cards in whichever column Whirlwind Machine Streaborg is placed in. Even so, the cards on the opponent’s side of the field (as viewed by the effect’s activator) are returned to the hand, so Whirlwind Machine Streaborg itself will also return to your hand.

A: In this scenario, when attacking directly with Muscling Medic with 2200 ATK, its effect will be applied and make your opponent gain Life Points instead, but the effect of Bad Reaction to Simochi is also applied. This results in your opponent taking 2200 damage as effect damage.

Even so, after the effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon from your Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, and your opponent will Special Summon a Dragonoid Token during the End Phase.

CIBR-JP080 Ojama Duo
Q: When I activate the second effect of Ojama Duo that Special Summons 2 “Ojama” monsters with different names from my Deck, my opponent chains Hand Destruction. If this results in me only having 1 “Ojama” monster left in my Deck, how does the effect of Ojama Duo resolve?
A: The effect of Ojama Duo that activates from the Graveyard Special Summons 2 “Ojama” monsters with different names from your Deck. Therefore, if only 1 “Ojama” monster remains in your Deck when the effect resolves, as in this scenario, the effect is not applied. (No “Ojama” monsters are Special Summoned.)
