Q: When I successfully Normal Summon (or Special Summon) Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon, my opponent activates Bottomless Trap Hole, and Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon is destroyed. In this case, if I have an Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon in my Pendulum Zone, can I activate its effect?
A: In this scenario, if Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon is destroyed by the effect of Bottomless Trap Hole, it is banished instead of being placed face-up in the Extra Deck. In this case, as long as you still have a face-up “Odd-Eyes” Pendulum Monster in your Extra Deck other than Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon, you can activate the Pendulum Effect of your Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon.

Q: A face-down Defense Position Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon on my field is destroyed by my opponent’s Shield Crush, and is placed face-up in the Extra Deck. In this case, if I have an Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon in my Pendulum Zone, can I activate its effect?
A: In this scenario, if Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon is destroyed by Shield Crush, it is placed face-up in the Extra Deck, but because it was in face-down Defense Position, it is not treated as an “Odd-Eyes” monster on your field being destroyed by battle or card effect. Therefore, you cannot activate the Pendulum Effect of Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon.

Q: Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon are each in my Pendulum Zone, and Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon is face-up in my Extra Deck. In this situation, if Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon is destroyed by Mystical Space Typhoon, can I activate the Pendulum Effect of Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon?
A: The Pendulum Effect of Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon can be activated when a face-up “Odd-Eyes” monster in your Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect. In this scenario, an “Odd-Eyes” Pendulum Monster in your Pendulum Zone is treated as a Spell Card when it is destroyed, so you cannot activate the Pendulum Effect of Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon.

Q: When resolving the Pendulum Effect of Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon, can I choose Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon itself as the card to destroy?
A: You can choose Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon as the card in your Pendulum Zone to destroy with its own effect. Even in that case, the part of the effect that places a face-up “Odd-Eyes” Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck in your Pendulum Zone is applied normally.

Q: Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon is face-up in my Pendulum Zone, while Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon is face-up in my Monster Zone. In this situation, I activate the monster effect of Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon and it targets itself. If Cosmic Cyclone is chained to this effect, and the Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon in my Pendulum Zone is banished so that there are no longer any “Odd-Eyes” cards in my Pendulum Zone, how does the effect of Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon resolve?

Q: When I Normal Summon a Performapal Uni during my Main Phase, Torrential Tribute is activated and Performapal Uni is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. This turn, can I still activate the first effect of Performapal Uni?

A: In this scenario, since the Level of Performapal Helpprincess has become 3 by the Pendulum Effect of Performapal Bit Bite Turtle, it can be Special Summoned by the effect of Performapal Uni.

Q: During my opponent’s Main Phase, can I activate and apply the effects of 2 copies of Performapal Uni in my Graveyard?
A: After the second effect of Performapal Uni is applied, it will reduce battle damage you take to 0 the first time it would be inflicted to you this turn. In this scenario, if the effects of 2 copies of Performapal Uni were activated, their effects will both reduce battle damage to 0 the first time it would be inflicted to you this turn. (Thus, the second time you would take battle damage this turn, you will take the battle damage normally.)

Q: If Performapal Corn was Normal or Special Summoned this turn, but is in face-up Defense Position, can its first effect be activated?

A: In this scenario, when resolving the effect of Performapal Corn, if either Performapal Corn itself or the targeted Performapal Uni have been returned to the hand and are no longer on the field, the effect is not applied.

In addition, the effect of the Special Summoned copy that inflicts damage will be negated, but the effect of that copy that activates when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard will not be negated, and can be applied normally.

In this situation, I activate Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force by targeting Raidraptor – Fiend Eagle, and Special Summon Raidraptor – Blade Burner Falcon. In this case, can I activate the first effect of the Special Summoned Raidraptor – Blade Burner Falcon?
A: The Special Summon from the Extra Deck performed by the effect of Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force is treated as an Xyz Summon. Even in this scenario, since Raidraptor – Blade Burner Falcon was Xyz Summoned while your Life Points are 3000 less than your opponent’s, you can activate its first effect.

A: Even in this scenario, the second effect of Raidraptor – Blade Burner Falcon can be activated.

If you activate the effect of Raidraptor – Blade Burner Falcon, you must detach either 1 or 2 Xyz Materials. (When the effect resolves, a number of Black Sheep Tokens on your opponent’s field equal to the number of Xyz Materials detached will be destroyed.)

Q: Luster Dragon and Luster Dragon #2 are both face-up on my opponent’s field. In this situation, if I Tribute Summon The Tripper Mercury with its own effect of Tributing 3 monsters, and the effect that makes my opponent’s monsters lose ATK equal to their original ATK is applied, how much ATK does each monster lose?
A: The effect of The Tripper Mercury that reduces the ATK of your opponent’s monsters makes each of those monsters lose ATK equal to their own original ATK. Therefore, in this scenario, Luster Dragon loses 1900 ATK and has 0 ATK, and Luster Dragon #2 loses 2400 ATK and also has 0 ATK.

Q: By its own effect, The Tripper Mercury is Tribute Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters. Then, if Skill Drain is activated, and the effects of The Tripper Mercury are negated, what happens to the effect that makes my opponent’s monsters lose ATK equal to their original ATK?
A: If The Tripper Mercury is Tribute Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters, and then its effects are negated by Skill Drain, as long as Skill Drain remains on the field, the effect that reduces the ATK of your opponent’s monsters is negated. But, if the effect of Skill Drain stops applying, this effect will be applied again. (The same is true if The Tripper Mercury is Tribute Summoned with 3 Tributes while the effect of Skill Drain is already applying.)

A: If The Tripper Mercury is Tribute Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters, and is then changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of Book of Moon, the effect that reduces the ATK of your opponent’s monsters stops applying. (Afterward, even if The Tripper Mercury is flipped face-up, this effect does not reapply.)

Q: The Blazing Mars, Igknight Paladin, and a Laval Token Special Summoned by the effect of Searing Fire Wall are all face-up on my field. In this situation, can I activate the second effect of The Blazing Mars?
A: When activating the second effect of The Blazing Mars, you must send all other monsters on your field to the Graveyard as the cost. In this situation, since you cannot send a Laval Token or a Pendulum Monster like Igknight Paladin to the Graveyard, you cannot activate the effect of The Blazing Mars.

Q: I activate the first effect of The Grand Jupiter, targeting my opponent’s Night Dragolich. If Book of Moon is chained to this effect, and The Grand Jupiter is changed to face-down Defense Position, what happens to the targeted Night Dragolich?
A: When resolving the effect of The Grand Jupiter, if The Grand Jupiter itself is in face-down Defense Position, the targeted monster will be sent to the Graveyard instead of being equipped. (Thus, Night Dragolich is sent to the Graveyard in this scenario.)

Q: Can the first effect of The Grand Jupiter be activated by targeting a monster that cannot be Special Summoned?
A: The Grand Jupiter can be equipped with a monster by its own effect even if that monster cannot be Special Summoned. For example, if Cardcar D is equipped to The Grand Jupiter, the second effect of The Grand Jupiter will increase its own ATK by the original ATK of the equipped Cardcar D, which is 800. Furthermore, the equipped Cardcar D cannot be targeted when activating the last effect of The Grand Jupiter that Special Summons one of the monsters equipped to it.

A: The Grand Jupiter can be equipped with a Token by its own effect. For example, if a Photon Token that was Special Summoned by the effect of Photon Sanctuary is equipped to The Grand Jupiter, the second effect of The Grand Jupiter will increase its own ATK by the original ATK of the equipped Photon Token, which is 2000. Furthermore, the equipped Photon Token cannot be targeted when activating the last effect of The Grand Jupiter that Special Summons one of the monsters equipped to it.

Q: The Grand Jupiter is equipped with a Mystery Shell Dragon by its own effect. Afterward, if the effect of Spell Canceller is applied, what happens to the ATK of The Grand Jupiter?
A: In this scenario, the second effect of The Grand Jupiter increases its ATK by the original ATK of the equipped Mystery Shell Dragon (2000), so it will have 4500 ATK. Even if the effect of Spell Canceller is applying, since the effect of The Grand Jupiter that increases its ATK is a monster effect, its ATK will remain 4500.

A: A Pendulum Monster in the Pendulum Zones is treated as a Spell Card, but once it leaves the Pendulum Zone, it is only treated as a Monster Card and not a Spell Card. Therefore, if you destroy a Pendulum Monster in your opponent’s Pendulum Zone with the effect of The Suppression Pluto, you cannot Set it on your field afterward.

A: When applying the effect of The Suppression Pluto, you can destroy a Field Spell Card in your opponent’s Field Zone. At that time, when you Set it on your side of the field, it will be Set in your own Field Zone. (If there is already a Field Spell Card in your Field Zone, it will be sent to the Graveyard, and then the Field Spell Card destroyed by the effect of The Suppression Pluto will be Set.)

A: In this scenario, the original DEF of Berserk Gorilla has become 2000 due to the effect of Shield & Sword, but when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, its original DEF is 1000, so the effect of Cyber Angel – Benten will inflict 1000 damage.

A: In this scenario, you can apply the effect of Machine Angel Ritual in your Graveyard. (You can banish Machine Angel Ritual from your Graveyard, and Cyber Angel – Idaten will not be destroyed by the effect of Torrential Tribute and will remain on the field.)

Q: Cyber Angel – Dakini and Cyber Angel – Idaten are both face-up on my field. If my opponent activates Dark Hole, can I apply the second effect of Machine Angel Ritual in my Graveyard?
A: In this scenario, since both Cyber Angel – Dakini and Cyber Angel – Idaten are LIGHT monsters that would be destroyed by your opponent’s Dark Hole, you can apply the second effect of Machine Angel Ritual in your Graveyard. If you do, neither Cyber Angel – Dakini nor Cyber Angel – Idaten are destroyed by the effect of Dark Hole.

Q: If there are no LIGHT Ritual Monsters or Ritual Spell Cards in my Deck, can I activate Ritual Sanctuary?
A: Even if you do not have any LIGHT Ritual Monsters or Ritual Spell Cards in your Deck, you can activate Ritual Sanctuary by placing it face-up in your Field Zone. In this scenario, since you do not have any LIGHT Ritual Monsters or Ritual Spell Cards in your Deck, you cannot activate the first effect of Ritual Sanctuary. (This effect is not an effect that is applied when resolving Ritual Sanctuary.)

Q: Can I activate the second effect of Ritual Sanctuary by targeting a Tiras, Keeper of Genesis in my Graveyard?

Q: If Red Nova and Phantom King Hydride are used to Synchro Summon Armory Arm, can I activate the effect of Red Nova that Special Summons a FIRE Fiend-Type monster from my Deck?
A: In this scenario, to Synchro Summon Armory Arm, Phantom King Hydride must be treated as a non-Tuner monster by its own effect, so the Synchro Summon is performed using 1 Tuner monster. Since it was not treated as a Synchro Summon using 2 or more Tuner monsters, you cannot activate the effect of Red Nova.

A: In this scenario, even if the Synchro Monster that used 2 or more Tuners including Red Nova for its Synchro Summon is no longer on the field when resolving the effect of Red Nova, the effect is applied normally.

Q: If Zushin the Sleeping Giant would be Special Summoned by its own procedure, can that Special Summon be negated by Solemn Judgment?
A: The effect of Zushin the Sleeping Giant that makes it unaffected by other cards’ effects is a Continuous Effect that applies while it is face-up in the Monster Zone, and does not apply while Zushin the Sleeping Giant is being Special Summoned by its own procedure. Therefore, the Special Summon of Zushin the Sleeping Giant can be negated by Solemn Judgment normally.

A: Zushin the Sleeping Giant is Special Summoned by Tributing a monster with 10 Zushin Counters on it. In this scenario, if a total of 10 Zushin Counters were placed on Key Mace by the effects of the 2 copies of Zushin the Sleeping Giant, Key Mace is a monster with 10 Zushin Counters on it, so it can be Tributed to Special Summon a Zushin the Sleeping Giant.

Q: If my Zushin the Sleeping Giant battles an opponent’s Number S39: Utopia the Lightning, what happens?
A: In this scenario, the effect of your opponent’s Number S39: Utopia the Lightning that prevents you from activating cards and effects is applied, but the effect of Zushin the Sleeping Giant makes it unaffected by this effect. During damage calculation, the effect of Zushin the Sleeping Giant that makes its ATK and DEF become equal to the opponent’s monster’s ATK + 1000 will activate as Chain Link 1. Even if the effect of Number S39: Utopia the Lightning that makes its own ATK become 5000 is chained, the result will be that damage calculation is performed while Zushin the Sleeping Giant has 1000 more ATK than Number S39: Utopia the Lightning.

Q: Key Mace and 2 copies of Hand-Holding Genie are face-up on my field in Defense Position. In this case, what is the DEF of each Hand-Holding Genie?
A: The DEF that Hand-Holding Genie gains from its effect is not treated as its original DEF. Therefore, in this scenario, each Hand-Holding Genie gains DEF equal to the combined original DEF of the other Hand-Holding Genie and Key Mace (a total of 1900), so each copy will have 3500 DEF.

Q: A Hand-Holding Genie and a Chimeratech Fortress Dragon that was Special Summoned using Cyber Dragon and 1 other Machine-Type monster are face-up on my field in Defense Position. In this case, what is the DEF of Hand-Holding Genie?
A: The effect of Chimeratech Fortress Dragon makes its original DEF equal to the number of Fusion Material monsters used for its Special Summon × 1000, so its original DEF is 2000 in this scenario. Due to the effect of Hand-Holding Genie, its own DEF will be 3600.
Note: This ruling overlooks the fact that Chimeratech Fortress Dragon’s effect determines only its original ATK, not both ATK and DEF. Maybe Chimeratech Overdragon is a better example.

A: In this scenario, the effect of Scrum Force can only be applied by destroying 1 other card in your Spell & Trap Zone instead. If Embodiment of Apophis is treated as a monster by its own effect, even though it is also still treated as a Trap Card, it is not in your Spell & Trap Zone, so it cannot be destroyed by the effect of Scrum Force.

Q: Can I Xyz Summon Number 100: Numeron Dragon by using Number 39: Utopia and Number C39: Utopia Ray as Xyz Materials?
A: The Xyz Materials used to Xyz Summon Number 100: Numeron Dragon are 2 “Number” Xyz Monsters with the same Rank and name. Number 39: Utopia and Number C39: Utopia Ray are both Rank 4 Xyz Monsters, but they do not have the same card name. Therefore, you cannot Xyz Summon Number 100: Numeron Dragon using Number 39: Utopia and Number C39: Utopia Ray.

Q: While Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max is face-up on my opponent’s field, I activate the first effect of Number 100: Numeron Dragon, and it gains ATK equal to the total Ranks of all Xyz Monsters on the field × 1000 until the end of my opponent’s turn (in this case, it gains 11,000 ATK). Afterward, if another Xyz Monster is Summoned, so that the total Ranks on the field changes, what happens to the ATK of Number 100: Numeron Dragon?
A: The ATK gained by the effect of Number 100: Numeron Dragon is determined using the total Ranks of all Xyz Monsters on the field at the time this effect resolves. After this effect is applied, if the total Ranks on the field changes, the ATK of Number 100: Numeron Dragon does not change.

A: In this scenario, after Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon is changed to face-down Defense Position by its own effect, it is no longer treated as a monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck.

That card will be revealed to both players, but if it is a “Number” monster whose number is 1 through 99, it cannot be Special Summoned by using Number 78: Number Archive as the Xyz Material, so it remains in the Extra Deck. Even so, the part of the effect that prevents you from Special Summoning monsters for the rest of this turn is applied normally.

Q: When my opponent’s Gem-Knight Pearl declares an attack, I activate the first effect of Number 98: Antitopian. If I further chain Magic Cylinder to this effect, how does the effect resolve?
A: In this scenario, the Magic Cylinder activated as Chain Link 2 resolves first, so the attack of Gem-Knight Pearl is negated and 2600 damage is inflicted to your opponent. Then, the effect of Number 98: Antitopian at Chain Link 1 resolves, and Gem-Knight Pearl is switched to Defense Position.

Q: Number S39: Utopia the Lightning is face-up on my opponent’s field. If Number 98: Antitopian is in my Graveyard, can I activate its effect in this situation?
A: While Number S39: Utopia the Lighting is attacking or being attacked, its effect prevents the opponent (you) from activating cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step, so you cannot activate the effect of Number 98: Antitopian at this time. However, during the Start Step, End Step, or Battle Step while other monsters are battling, or outside of the Battle Phase entirely, you can activate the effect of Number 98: Antitopian in your Graveyard by targeting Number S39: Utopia the Lightning. Since the effect of Number 98: Antitopian that attaches the targeted monster to it as an Xyz Material is not considered an Xyz Summon using that monster, Number S39: Utopia the Lighting will be attached to Number 98: Antitopian normally. (It should be noted that any Xyz Materials that were attached to Number S39: Utopia the Lightning are not attached to Number 98: Antitopian, and are sent to the Graveyard instead.)

Q: My opponent activates the effect of their Zaborg the Mega Monarch, and my Number 98: Antitopian is sent from my Extra Deck to my Graveyard. Afterward, can I activate the effect of Number 98: Antitopian while it is in my Graveyard?
A: In this scenario, since Number 98: Antitopian was not previously Xyz Summoned, it cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by the effects of cards such as Monster Reborn or its own effect. Therefore, the effect of Number 98: Antitopian in your Graveyard cannot be activated.

Q: I have 5 monsters on my field, including Number 39: Utopia. In this situation, can I activate the effect of a Number 98: Antitopian in my Graveyard?
A: The effect of Number 98: Antitopian is not an effect that Special Summons it by using another Xyz Monster as an Xyz Material. Number 98: Antitopian is first Special Summoned from your Graveyard to an available Monster Zone, and if it is successfully Special Summoned, the targeted monster is attached to it as an Xyz Material. Therefore, if you have no available Monster Zones, you cannot activate the effect of a Number 98: Antitopian in your Graveyard.

A: In this scenario, when resolving the effect of Number 98: Antitopian, if you have no available Monster Zones, Number 98: Antitopian cannot be Special Summoned from your Graveyard. In that case, the part of the effect that attaches the targeted monster to Number 98: Antitopian cannot be applied, so Number 39: Utopia remains in your Monster Zone.

A: When resolving the effect of Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon, even if the targeted monster has been changed to face-down Defense Position, you will still take control of it until the End Phase. Furthermore, the parts of the effect that negate the targeted monster’s effects, make its ATK 3000, and change its name to Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon are not applied, even if that monster is flipped face-up afterward.

A: When you Special Summon Cardian – Matsu ni Tsuru, you draw and reveal the card that is now considered to be in your hand, so in this scenario, if Felis, Lightsworn Archer is sent to the Graveyard because it is not a “Cardian” monster, its effect cannot be activated.

A: The effect of Cardian – Matsu ni Tsuru that allows you to draw a card during the Battle Phase only activates once per End Step of the Battle Phase.

A: If a monster is Special Summoned by the effect of Hana Awase, and subsequently changed to face-down Defense Position by Book of Moon, that monster’s effects are no longer negated, also it can now be Tributed for a Tribute Summon/Set. (In this scenario, Cardian – Yanagi was changed to face-down Defense Position. The remaining 3 monsters that were Special Summoned still have their effects negated, and they cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon/Set.)

Q: I Special Summon 4 “Cardian” monsters with the effect of Hana Awase, including a Cardian – Matsu. If my opponent activates Torrential Tribute, and Cardian – Matsu is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, can I draw 1 card with its second effect?
A: Monsters Special Summoned by the effect of Hana Awase have their effects negated while they are face-up on the field, but their effects that activate in the Graveyard are not negated. Therefore, in this scenario, if Cardian – Matsu was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard by the effect of your opponent’s Torrential Tribute, the effect of Cardian – Matsu is not negated and you will draw 1 card.
