VJMP-JP157 God-Eyes Phantom Dragon

• This card’s Pendulum Effect starts a Chain. (It does not target.)
• This card’s Pendulum Effect cannot be activated during a turn you already attacked with 2 or more monsters.
• The text stating this card cannot be Normal Summoned/Set and must be Special Summoned by Tributing all monsters on your field including a Dragon-Type Pendulum Monster is not an effect. It is the procedure for Special Summoning this card. (When Special Summoning this card, you must Tribute all monsters in your Monster Zone while you have 2 or more monsters on your field, including a Dragon-Type Pendulum Monster. This Special Summon does not start a Chain.)

• This card’s effect that doubles its ATK during damage calculation is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target.)
• This card’s effect that negates the activation of an opponent’s Spell/Trap Card or Spell/Trap effect is a Quick Effect. (Sending a Spell/Trap Card from your field to the Graveyard is the cost to activate this effect. It can be activated during the Damage Step.)
• This effect does not target. It must be activated by chaining directly to an opponent’s Spell/Trap Card or Spell/Trap effect.

Q: If my Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon destroys the only monster on my opponent’s field by battle, can I activate the Pendulum Effect of God-Eyes Phantom Dragon?
A: Even when you destroy the only monster on your opponent’s field by battle, you can activate the Pendulum Effect of God-Eyes Phantom Dragon. In this scenario, since there are no other monsters on your opponent’s field, Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon can attack your opponent directly.

Q: There are 2 copies of God-Eyes Phantom Dragon in my Pendulum Zones, and an Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon in my Monster Zone. When Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon attacks a second time after using the effect of 1 God-Eyes Phantom Dragon, and destroys another monster by battle, can I activate the effect of the other God-Eyes Phantom Dragon?
A: As in this scenario, if your monster makes an additional attack using the Pendulum Effect of God-Eyes Phantom Dragon and destroy another monster by battle, you can activate the effect of a second God-Eyes Phantom Dragon to allow that monster to attack yet again.

Q: My God-Eyes Phantom Dragon has 4000 ATK after gaining 1000 ATK from the effect of Juragedo. In this situation, if God-Eyes Phantom Dragon battles an opponent’s monster and I activate its effect that doubles its ATK, how much ATK will it have?
A: Although God-Eyes Phantom Dragon’s original ATK is 3000, it gained 1000 ATK from the effect of Juragedo in this situation. Therefore, when its effect that doubles its ATK is applied, its ATK becomes 8000.

Q: When activating the effect of God-Eyes Phantom Dragon that negates the activation of an opponent’s Spell/Trap Card or Spell/Trap effect, can I choose a Pendulum Monster in my Pendulum Zone as the Spell/Trap Card to send to the Graveyard as the cost?

(If you do not have any Spell/Trap Cards on your field other than the Pendulum Monsters in your Pendulum Zone, you cannot activate the effect of God-Eyes Phantom Dragon.)

Q: There are 3 cards on my opponent’s field, and 2 cards remaining in my Deck. In this situation, if I Special Summon Elemental HERO Nebula Neos from the Extra Deck, how does its effect apply?
A: Even if you have fewer cards in your Deck than the number of cards on your opponent’s field, as in this scenario, the effect of Elemental HERO Nebula Neos will still activate when it is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck.

A: In this scenario, an Elemental HERO Nebula Neos Special Summoned by the effect of Elemental HERO Grandman cannot attack monsters with an equal or lower Level than its own (Level 9). If Cyber End Dragon’s Level is reduced to 9 by the effect of Star Changer, Elemental HERO Nebula Neos cannot attack it, so a replay occurs.

Q: Macro Cosmos is face-up in my opponent’s Spell & Trap Zone, and its effect that banishes any card that would be sent to the Graveyard is applying. In this situation, I activate the effect of Stardust Dragon by Tributing it, and it is banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard. Afterward, can I activate the effect of Stardust Wish?

Q: Stardust Dragon was Special Summoned by the effect of Stardust Wish. After that, if my opponent activates Book of Moon and changes Stardust Dragon to face-down Defense Position, will the effect of Stardust Wish still prevent it from being destroyed by battle?
A: The effect of Stardust Wish targets the “Stardust” Synchro Monster that it Special Summons, and continues to target that monster on the field. In this scenario, if a Stardust Dragon Special Summoned by Stardust Wish is changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of Book of Moon, it is no longer targeted by Stardust Wish, so even if it changes to Attack Position again, the effect that prevents it from being destroyed by battle will not apply again.

A: In this scenario, if the monster targeted with the effect of Umbreacum Couple is not in the Graveyard when its effect resolves, it is not Special Summoned. Even in that case, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of the turn, except Synchro Monsters.

Q: During damage calculation, if I activate Bye Bye Damage, but I take damage so that my Life Points become 0, what happens to my opponent’s Life Points?
A: When the effect of Bye Bye Damage is applied, the battle damage you take and the double effect damage your opponent takes occur at the same time. Therefore, even if your Life Points become 0 as a result of taking battle damage, if the opponent’s Life Points also become 0 as a result of taking the effect damage, the Duel is a draw.
