Q: Imperial Iron Wall is face-up in my opponent’s Spell & Trap Zone, and its effect that prevents players from banishing cards is applying. In this situation, what happens during my opponent’s End Phase if I have Link God Dragon on my field?
A: In this scenario, since it is your opponent’s End Phase, the effect of Link God Dragon that banishes 5 cards from your Graveyard face-down must be activated. However, since the effect of Imperial Iron Wall is applying, you cannot banish any cards, and Link God Dragon is sent to the Graveyard.
Q: There are no more than 4 cards in my Graveyard. In this situation, what happens during my opponent’s End Phase if I have Link God Dragon on my field?
A: In this scenario, since it is your opponent’s End Phase, the effect of Link God Dragon that banishes 5 cards from your Graveyard face-down must be activated. However, since you cannot banish 5 cards from your Graveyard, Link God Dragon is sent to the Graveyard. (In this case, you do not banish any cards in your Graveyard.)
LVP3-JP006 Companion Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman
- This card’s effect that sends a “Destruction Sword” card from your Deck to the Graveyard and Special Summons a “Buster Blader” monster from your hand is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target.)

- This card’s effect is an Ignition Effect.
- This card’s effect targets 1 face-up monster in your Monster Zone.
- This effect finishes resolving by equipping a monster from your Deck to the targeted monster. (The part of the effect that prevents you from Special Summoning monsters with the same name as the equipped monster for the rest of the turn is applied immediately once this effect resolves.)
Q: I activate the effect of Union Carrier, targeting A-Assault Core. If Book of Moon is chained, and the targeted A-Assault Core is changed to face-down Defense Position, how does the effect of Union Carrier resolve?
A: If the monster targeted by the effect of Union Carrier is in face-down Defense Position when the effect resolves, as in this scenario, the effect is not applied. (You do not look through your Deck for a monster.)

Q: There are no cards in the Spell & Trap Zones, and an Embodiment of Apophis that was Special Summoned as a monster by its own effect is in my opponent’s Monster Zone. In this situation, if I activate the effect of Simorgh, Bird of Kings during the End Phase, what Level Winged Beast monster can I Special Summon?
A: In this scenario, after your opponent Special Summons Embodiment of Apophis, Embodiment of Apophis itself will be in the Monster Zone but is still treated as a Trap Card and uses a Spell & Trap Zone. Since there are a total of 9 unused Spell & Trap Zones on the field, the effect of Simorgh, Bird of Kings can Special Summon a Level 9 or lower Winged Beast monster.
Q: Simorgh, Bird of Kings is in my Monster Zone, and there are a total of 6 unused Spell & Trap Zones on the field. In this situation, if I activate the effect of Simorgh, Bird of Kings during the End Phase, then chain Chain Strike from my hand, what Level Winged Beast monster can I Special Summon with the effect of Simorgh, Bird of Kings?
A: In this scenario, there were 6 unused Spell & Trap Zones on the field, but since you activated Chain Strike from your hand and placed it in a Spell & Trap Zone, there will be 5 unused Spell & Trap Zones on the field when the effect of Simorgh, Bird of Kings resolves. Therefore, in this case, the effect of Simorgh, Bird of Kings can Special Summon a Level 5 or lower Winged Beast monster.

A: In this scenario, if you have no available Monster Zones for Special Summoning a monster from the Extra Deck, you cannot Xyz Summon. In that case, the part of the effect that Special Summons 2 monsters with the same Level is not applied.
Q: Can I Special Summon 2 copies of Bujin Yamato from my hand and Graveyard with the effect of Bujinki Awashima?
A: You can Special Summon 2 copies of Bujin Yamato from your hand and Graveyard with the effect of Bujinki Awashima.

- This card’s effect that Sets an “Artifact” monster from your hand or Deck to your Spell & Trap Zone as a Spell Card is a Quick Effect. (It does not target, and is activated by chaining directly to a card or effect that activates on the field. It cannot be activated during the Damage Step.)
- Destroying the card Set by this effect during your opponent’s next End Phase does not start a Chain.
- This card’s effect that Special Summons an “Artifact” monster from your Graveyard is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target, and can be activated during the Damage Step.)
Q: While I have an Artifact Dagda face-up in my Monster Zone, my opponent activates Pot of Duality from their hand. In this situation, can I chain the effect of Artifact Dagda that Sets an “Artifact” monster from my hand or Deck to my Spell & Trap Zone?
A: When a Normal or Quick-Play Spell Card is activated from the hand, it is placed face-up in the Spell & Trap Zone. In that case, since Normal and Quick-Play Spell Cards are still activated on the field, you can chain the effect of Artifact Dagda.

Q: While the only “World Legacy” card in my Graveyard is World Legacy’s Heart, I activate the effect of World Keymaster Lib and Set a World Legacy’s Secret from my Deck. During the same turn, when World Keymaster Lib battles an opponent’s monster, I activate the effect of World Legacy – “World Lance” by discarding it from my hand to the Graveyard. In this case, later in the turn, can I activate the World Legacy’s Secret that I Set this turn with the effect of World Keymaster Lib?

After Setting the card from your Deck, you can activate it that turn if you have a “World Legacy” monster in your Graveyard at the time you wish to activate it. In this scenario, since World Legacy – “World Lance” was sent to the Graveyard during damage calculation, you now have a “World Legacy” monster in your Graveyard. Although World Legacy’s Secret cannot be activated during the Damage Step, you can activate it after the battle if you still have a “World Legacy” monster in your Graveyard.
Note that the above ruling was overturned 11/24/2019.

- Returning the banished monster to the field during the opponent’s next End Phase does not start a Chain.

- Increasing this card’s ATK by 1000 and sending the targeted card to the Graveyard do not happen simultaneously.
Q: I activate the second effect of Sky Striker Ace – Sieg, targeting a face-up Sky Striker Airspace – Area Zero in my Field Zone. If Compulsory Evacuation Device is chained and Sky Striker Ace – Sieg is no longer on the field, will the targeted Sky Striker Airspace – Area Zero still be sent to the Graveyard?
A: If Sky Striker Ace – Sieg is no longer on the field when its second effect resolves, since it cannot gain 1000 ATK, the targeted card is not sent to the Graveyard. (In this scenario, the targeted Sky Striker Airspace – Area Zero remains on the field.)
LVP3-JP091 Yuki-Onna, the Absolute Zero Mayakashi
- The effect that states you can only have 1 face-up Yuki-Onna, the Absolute Zero Mayakashi on your field is not classified as an Ignition, Trigger, Quick, or Continuous Effect.

A: The effect of Electromagnetic Turtle is activated by banishing it from the Graveyard, but it is an effect that activates in the Graveyard. Therefore, the effect of Electromagnetic Turtle is not negated by the effect of Yuki-Onna, the Absolute Zero Mayakashi. (However, since it is an effect that activated in the Graveyard, the third effect of Yuki-Onna, the Absolute Zero Mayakashi can be activated.)
Q: My opponent activates the effect of Shiranui Style Synthesis, then chains Ghost Meets Girl – A Shiranui’s Story, Special Summoning Shiranui Squire and Dakki, the Graceful Mayakashi with their effects respectively. In this situation, how can I activate the third effect of Yuki-Onna, the Absolute Zero Mayakashi?
A: In this scenario, you can activate the effect of Yuki-Onna, the Absolute Zero Mayakashi only once after the Chain resolves. (As in this scenario, even if multiple effects on the same Chain Special Summon a monster from the Graveyard, the effect of Yuki-Onna, the Absolute Zero Mayakashi cannot be activated twice on the same Chain.)
