Q: A Silent Swordsman whose ATK is increased by 500 due to its own effect is face-up on my field. If Skill Drain is then activated, and the effects of Silent Swordsman are negated, what happens to its ATK?
A: In this scenario, since the effect of Skill Drain negates the effects of Silent Swordsman, it will lose the 500 ATK it gained from its own effect. (Then, even if the effect of Skill Drain stops applying, the lost ATK is not reapplied. During each Standby Phase, the first effect will activate again and increase its ATK.)

A: During the turn the effect of Magnet Force is applied, face-up monsters on both players’ sides of the field that are originally Rock or Machine-Type become unaffected by your opponent’s (the opponent of whoever activated Magnet Force) monster effects, except their own. Therefore, in this scenario, Deskbot 001 gains ATK from its own effect normally, but will be unaffected by the effect of Deskbot 002 that would increase its ATK by 500.

A: Even if the effect of Thunder King Rai-Oh is applying, you can activate Lullaby of Obedience. In that case, the effect of Thunder King Rai-Oh prevents you from adding cards from the Deck to your hand, so if your opponent has the declared card in their Deck, they cannot choose to add it to your hand.

A: If your opponent chooses to apply the effect of Lullaby of Obedience that Special Summons the declared monster to your field, it is a Special Summon performed by the effect of your Lullaby of Obedience.

A: When resolving the effect of Lullaby of Obedience, even if your opponent chooses the effect that Special Summons their monster to your side of the field, it is not treated as a Special Summon performed by your opponent. (The Special Summon is performed by the effect of your Lullaby of Obedience.)

At this time, if your opponent chooses the effect that Special Summons that monster to your field, ignoring its Summoning conditions, Horahkty, the Creator God of Light will be Special Summoned to the field of the player who activated Lullaby of Obedience, and they will win the Duel. (In other words, the player who activated Lullaby of Obedience wins the Duel.) Also, if your opponent chooses the effect that adds the monster to your hand, Horahkty, the Creator God of Light is added to the hand of the player who activated Lullaby of Obedience.

Furthermore, even if you banished “Qli” monsters from the Graveyard to perform the Tribute Summon, it is not a Tribute Summon performed by Tributing any “Qli” monsters, so the effect of Qliphort Disk that Special Summons 2 “Qli” monsters from your Deck cannot be activated.

Furthermore, the Tribute Summon performed by the effect of Tribute Burial does not Tribute any monsters, so even though the effect of The Tyrant Neptune that copies the name and effects of one of the Tributed monsters still activates and creates a Chain, there are no appropriate monsters to target in the Graveyard.

In that case, since Spirit Message “I” and Spirit Message “N” are not treated as leaving the field, the second effect of Destiny Board that sends it and all “Spirit Message” cards on your field to the Graveyard is not applied.

Q: When my Silent Magician LV4 declares an attack, my opponent activates the second effect of their Dark Sanctuary. If I chain Book of Moon to this effect, and the attacking Silent Magician LV4 is changed to face-down Defense Position, how does the effect of Dark Sanctuary resolve?
A: In this scenario, if the attacking Silent Magician LV4 is changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of Book of Moon, it is no longer considered an attacking monster. When resolving the effect of Dark Sanctuary, the coin toss is performed, but even if the result is Heads, the attack cannot be negated and no damage is inflicted to your opponent.
