DP24-JP001 Egyptian God Slime
- This card can be Special Summoned by 2 methods; either by performing a Fusion Summon with the effect of a card such as Polymerization and using 1 Aqua monster and 1 Level 10 WATER monster as materials, or by Tributing 1 Level 10 Aqua monster with 0 ATK in your Monster Zone.
- When Fusion Summoning this card, the Fusion Summon will be performed by resolving the effect of a card such as Polymerization, however, Special Summoning this card by Tributing 1 Level 10 WATER monster on your field does not start a Chain.
- This card’s effect that allows it to be treated as 3 Tributes for a Tribute Summon is not classified as either an Ignition, Trigger, Quick, or Continuous Effect.

DP24-JP004 Ancient Chant
- This card’s effect that adds The Winged Dragon of Ra from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand and allows you to perform an additional Tribute Summon this turn is the effect that applies by activating this card.
- This effect does not perform a Tribute Summon. The effect finishes resolving by adding The Winged Dragon of Ra from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. (Performing a Tribute Summon during your Main Phase that turn by applying this card’s effect does not start a Chain.)

(It does not target. It can be activated optionally during your Main Phase. Banishing this card from your Graveyard is the cost to activate this effect.)

Q: If the effect of a card chained to Ancient Chant results in The Winged Dragon of Ra not being in my Deck or Graveyard when Ancient Chant resolves, how does its effect apply?
A: When resolving the effect of Ancient Chant, if you do not have The Winged Dragon of Ra in your Deck or Graveyard, you cannot add one to your hand, so you also cannot perform an additional Tribute Summon that turn.
Q: If I already performed 2 Normal Summons by applying the effect of Gem-Knight Seraphinite this turn, can I activate Ancient Chant?
A: Even in this scenario, if you have The Winged Dragon of Ra in your Deck or Graveyard, you can still activate Ancient Chant. In that case, you add The Winged Dragon of Ra to your hand normally, but you cannot perform an additional Tribute Summon using the effect of Ancient Chant.
Q: During the turn I activated the second effect of Ancient Chant, if I Tribute Summon The Winged Dragon of Ra by Tributing a Holding Arms, Holding Legs, and Chimeratech Fortress Dragon whose original ATK is 2000 from its own effect, what happens to the ATK and DEF of The Winged Dragon of Ra?
A: Due to the effect of Ancient Chant, the original ATK and DEF of The Winged Dragon of Ra becomes equal to the total original ATK and DEF of the Tributed monsters. In this scenario, Chimeratech Fortress Dragon has an original ATK and DEF of 0, Holding Arms has an original ATK of 800 and original DEF of 600, and Holding Legs has an original ATK of 500 and original DEF of 1200, so the Tribute Summoned The Winged Dragon of Ra will have an original ATK of 1300 and original DEF of 1800.

Q: I activated the second effect of Millennium Revelation this turn. If I activate Monster Reborn and further chain Serial Spell, can I target The Winged Dragon of Ra with each card?
A: During the turn the second effect of Millennium Revelation is applied, you will be able to Special Summon The Winged Dragon of Ra from your Graveyard with the effect of Monster Reborn, ignoring its Summoning condition. In this scenario, the Monster Reborn that you activated as Chain Link 1 can Special Summon The Winged Dragon of Ra, however, even though the effect of Serial Spell as Chain Link 2 becomes the same as the effect of Monster Reborn, this is not considered a Special Summon by the effect of Monster Reborn. Therefore, you cannot target The Winged Dragon of Ra with Serial Spell at Chain Link 2.
