DP23-JP001 The Dark Magicians
- This card’s effect that draws a card and then Sets it if it is a Spell/Trap Card is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target, and cannot be activated during the Damage Step.)
- Drawing a card from your Deck and Setting the drawn card to your field if it is a Spell/Trap Card do not happen simultaneously. (If you do not Set the card, this effect finishes resolving by drawing a card.)
- Even if you Set the Spell/Trap Card, you do not need to show the drawn card to your opponent.
- This card’s effect that Special Summons a Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl from your hand, Deck, and/or Graveyard is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target, and can be activated during the Damage Step.)
Q: If I activate the first effect of The Dark Magicians and draw Toy Magician, can I then Set that Toy Magician to the field?
A: If the card you draw with the effect of Toy Magician is a Spell/Trap Card, you can Set it to your field. Since Toy Magician is a Monster Card, it cannot be Set by applying its effect.
Q: When I activate the second effect of The Dark Magicians that Special Summons Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, my opponent chains the effect of D.D. Crow. As a result, if my Dark Magician (or Dark Magician Girl) is banished from my Graveyard, and there are no other copies in my hand or Deck, how does the effect of The Dark Magicians resolve?
A: The effect of The Dark Magicians Special Summons a Dark Magician and a Dark Magician Girl. Therefore, since Dark Magician (or Dark Magician Girl) was banished in this scenario, the effect will not apply if you cannot Special Summon both.
DP23-JP002 Magicians’ Souls
- This card’s effect that activates in your hand is an Ignition Effect. (It does not target. Sending a Level 6 or higher Spellcaster monster from your Deck to the Graveyard is the cost to activate this effect. When activating this effect, you also select the “●” effect you wish to activate.)

- When placing a card from your hand or Deck on the top of your Deck with this effect, show it to your opponent first.
- This card’s effect that draws cards starts a Chain and activates in the Graveyard. (It does not target.)
Q: Can I activate Faithful Servant if I have no cards in my Deck?
A: You can activate Faithful Servant even if you have no cards in your Deck, as long as there is a Dark Magician or card with Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl listed in its text in your hand or Graveyard.
Q: Dark Magician and Dark Magician the Dragon Knight are face-up in my Monster Zone. In this situation, if I activate the second effect of Faithful Servant in my Graveyard, how many cards do I draw?
A: In this scenario, the number of “Palladium Oracle” monsters, Dark Magician, and Dark Magician Girl on your field with different names is 1, so you only draw 1 card with the effect of Faithful Servant.

Q: Can I Ritual Summon a Magician of Black Chaos MAX with the effect of Dark Magic Secrets, by Tributing a Dark Magician and a Blue-Eyes White Dragon?
A: When performing a Ritual Summon using the effect of Dark Magic Secrets, you must Tribute monsters whose total Levels equal or exceed the Ritual Monster’s Level, and those monsters must include either Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl. In this scenario, you must Tribute monsters whose total Levels equal the Level 8 Magician of Black Chaos MAX, but since Blue-Eyes White Dragon is also a Level 8 monster, its Level is enough to satisfy the Tribute requirement. Therefore, in this case, you cannot Tribute both Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes White Dragon for the Ritual Summon. (If you are not able to Tribute Dark Magician along with another Level 7 or lower monster in this case, you cannot activate Dark Magic Secrets.)
Q: Can I Ritual Summon an Archfiend’s Awakening with the effect of Dark Magic Secrets, by Tributing only Dark Magician?
A: When performing a Ritual Summon using the effect of Dark Magic Secrets, you must always include either Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl as a Tributed monster. In this scenario, since you are Ritual Summoning the Level 6 Archfiend’s Awakening, you can Tribute just Dark Magician.

A: The effect of Magicians’ Combination Special Summons a monster with a different name than the Tributed monster. In this scenario, since Magician of Dark Illusion was treated as Dark Magician, the effect of Magicians’ Combination must Special Summon a Dark Magician Girl. (In this case, if you do not have a Dark Magician Girl to Special Summon, you cannot activate the effect of Magicians’ Combination by Tributing Magician of Dark Illusion.)

Q: Can I Fusion Summon Elemental HERO Sunriser using Elemental HERO Avian and Elemental HERO Electrum as materials?

If you activate Miracle Fusion and use a LIGHT-Attribute Elemental HERO Electrum in your Graveyard along with WIND-Attribute Elemental HERO Avian, you can Fusion Summon Elemental HERO Sunriser. However, if Elemental HERO Electrum is face-up in the Monster Zone and its effect that treats it as WIND, WATER, FIRE, and EARTH-Attributes is applying, that Elemental HERO Electrum cannot be used as a material with Elemental HERO Avian to Fusion Summon Elemental HERO Sunriser.

Q: I activate Neos Fusion and Special Summon an Elemental HERO Brave Neos from my Extra Deck, sending Elemental HERO Neos and Elemental HERO Liquidman to the Graveyard. In this situation, can I activate the effect of Elemental HERO Liquidman that draws and discards cards?
A: Monsters Special Summoned by the effect of Neos Fusion are not considered Fusion Summoned. Therefore, if Elemental HERO Liquidman was sent to the Graveyard by the effect of Neos Fusion, it was not sent to the Graveyard for the Fusion Summon of a “HERO” monster, so its effect cannot be activated.

Q: Favorite Hero is face-up in both players’ Spell & Trap Zones. In this situation, at the start of the Battle Phase, how does each player activate and resolve the effects of their Favorite Hero?

If both players have Favorite Hero face-up in their Spell & Trap Zones, the effect of each one is activated and resolved separately, rather than in the same Chain.

(Even in this case, Special Summoning the targeted monster is considered the last effect to resolve.)
Q: I activated Magistry Alchemist by banishing a face-up Elemental HERO Electrum from my Monster Zone and an Elemental HERO Stratos, Elemental HERO Shadow Mist, and Vision HERO Vyon from my Graveyard. In this case, will the part of the effect that doubles the Special Summoned monster’s original ATK and negates the effects all face-up cards on my opponent’s field apply?
A: A face-up Elemental HERO Electrum in the Monster Zone has an effect that treats it as also having EARTH, WATER, FIRE, and WIND-Attributes. When you activate Magistry Alchemist by banishing a face-up Elemental HERO Electrum from your Monster Zone and an Elemental HERO Stratos, Elemental HERO Shadow Mist, and Vision HERO Vyon from your Graveyard, it is considered to have been activated by banishing EARTH, WATER, FIRE, and WIND-Attribute monsters.

- The text that grants an additional effect to a “Utopic Future” Xyz Monster that has this card as an Xyz Material is not an effect. (A “Utopic Future” Xyz Monster with Gagagaga Magician attached as an Xyz Material gains the listed “●” effect.)
- The “●” effect gained by the Xyz Monster that makes the ATK of an Xyz Monster become 4000 and negates its effects is an Ignition Effect. (It targets 1 face-up Xyz Monster in your Monster Zone. Detaching 2 Xyz Materials from the Xyz Monster activating this effect is the cost to activate it.)

During the same turn, if the effect of Forbidden Chalice is applied to that Number F0: Utopic Future, what happens to its ATK?
A: In this scenario, the ATK of Number F0: Utopic Future is 4000 due to its gained effect being applied to itself. Afterward, even if the effect of Forbidden Chalice is applied to it, the ATK change from its own effect remains. Therefore, since Number F0: Utopic Future also gains ATK from the effect of Forbidden Chalice, its ATK becomes 4400.
