The following rules will be applied in the OCG starting January 1, 2015.
Many of these are reversals or new scenarios reflecting the errata that become effective on the above date.
Q: If Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is Special Summoned through the method written in its text and then sent to the Graveyard, can it be Special Summoned with Monster Reborn?
A: Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End cannot be Special Summoned, except by banishing 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard. Therefore, even if it has been sent to the Graveyard afterward, it cannot be Special Summoned with Monster Reborn.

Q: Can Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End be Special Summoned from the hand with Bolt from the Blue? Also, if so, can its effect be activated?
A: Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End can be Special Summoned from the hand with Bolt from the Blue. However, as you cannot activate other cards or effects during the turn you activate the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End, and in this scenario you have already activated Bolt from the Blue this turn, you cannot activate the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End.

Q: If Phantom of Chaos gains the name and effects of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End, can it activate the copied effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End?
A: You cannot activate other cards or effects during the turn you activate the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End, and in this scenario you have already activated the original effect of Phantom of Chaos this turn, so you cannot activate the copied effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End.

Q: If the effect of my Card Trooper is activated, or I activate Monster Reborn, but the activation of those cards/effects are negated by my opponent’s Light and Darkness Dragon, can I activate the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End during the same turn? Also, if the effects of those cards are negated instead by my opponent’s The Fabled Unicore, can I activate the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End during the same turn?
A: If you activated the effect of Card Trooper, or activated Monster Reborn, but the activation was negated by your opponent’s Light and Darkness Dragon, you can activate the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End during the same turn. Also, if the effects of those cards were negated instead by your opponent’s The Fabled Unicore, you cannot activate the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End during the same turn.

Also, if I activate the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End, but the effect is negated by Effect Veiler, can I activate other cards/effects this turn?
A: If the activation of the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is negated by Divine Wrath, you can activate other cards/effects this turn. But if only the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is negated by Effect Veiler, you still cannot activate other cards/effects this turn.

Q: If either player does not have any cards in their hand or field, can the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End be activated?
A: The effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End can be activated even if there are no other cards in either player’s hand or on the field. (And it will resolve normally.) For example, if both players have 0 cards in their hand, the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End can be activated, and it will send all cards on the field to the Graveyard, then inflict damage to your opponent for each of their cards sent this way.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14594&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If I activated the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End this turn, what will happen to the effect of Phantom Beast Cross-Wing in my Graveyard?
A: The effect of Phantom Beast Cross-Wing does not start a chain. Therefore, even if you activated the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End this turn, the effect of Phantom Beast Cross-Wing will continue applying normally.

Q: If the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is activated, but there is a monster on my opponent’s side of the field that is unaffected by card effects due to the effect of Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand, how does the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End resolve?
A: In this case, when resolving the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End, the monster that is unaffected by other card effects due to the effect of Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand remains on the field. (Since that monster is not sent to the Graveyard, your opponent does not take damage for that monster.)
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14590&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is activated, but there are Pendulum Monsters on the field, how does the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End resolve? In addition, if any of them are on the opponent’s side of the field, what happens to the damage inflicted to the opponent?
A: In this case, when resolving the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End, Pendulum Monsters on the field are not sent to the Graveyard and are placed face-up in the Extra Deck instead. If a Pendulum Monster on your opponent’s side of the field is returned to the Extra Deck this way, because it was not sent to the Graveyard, your opponent does not take damage for that monster.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14595&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is activated, but there are Tokens on the field, how does the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End resolve? In addition, if any Tokens are on the opponent’s side of the field, what happens to the damage inflicted to the opponent?
A: In this case, when resolving the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End, Tokens on the field are not sent to the Graveyard and are simply removed from the field instead. If a Token on your opponent’s side of the field is removed this way, because it was not sent to the Graveyard, your opponent does not take damage for that Token.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14591&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is activated, but there is an Xyz Monster with Xyz Materials on my opponent’s side of the field, what happens to the damage inflicted to the opponent?
A: In this case, the Xyz Materials attached to the sent Xyz Monster are not considered sent to the Graveyard by the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End. Therefore, if your opponent’s only card sent to the Graveyard by this effect was the Xyz Monster, your opponent only takes 300 damage.

Q: If the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is activated while Macro Cosmos is applying, how does the effect resolve? In addition, if the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is activated during the turn Different Dimension Ground is applying, how does the effect resolve?
A: If the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is activated while Macro Cosmos is applying, all cards on the field and in both player’s hands, including Macro Cosmos, are sent to the Graveyard instead of being banished by the effect of Macro Cosmos. (In other words, the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End resolves normally.) If the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is activated during the turn Different Dimension Ground is applying, all Spell/Trap Cards are sent to the Graveyard normally, but any monsters are banished instead. (In this case, the number of your opponent’s monsters is not included towards the damage inflicted to them.)
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14592&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If I have my opponent’s card in my hand due to the effect of Exchange, and then the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End is activated, what happens to that card?
A: The opponent’s card in your hand due to the effect of Exchange is sent to its owner’s Graveyard by the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End. In this case, that card will be included as one of the opponent’s cards sent to the Graveyard by this effect.

Q: If Sinister Serpent is added to my hand by its effect, but is then Summoned to the field or shuffled into the Deck with Reload, is the effect of Sinister Serpent applied during my opponent’s next End Phase?
A: If Sinister Serpent is added to your hand by its effect, but is then Summoned to the field or shuffled into the Deck with Reload, its effect during your opponent’s next End Phase is applied normally. Therefore, during your opponent’s next End Phase, if there are any copies of Sinister Serpent in your Graveyard, you will banish one of them.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14588&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If the effect of Sinister Serpent is activated, but D.D. Crow is chained, targeting and banishing that Sinister Serpent, how does its effect resolve?
A: When resolving the effect of Sinister Serpent, if Sinister Serpent is no longer in your Graveyard, it is not added to your hand. Note that the effect of banishing a Sinister Serpent from your Graveyard will still apply normally during your opponent’s next End Phase.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14589&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If Sinister Serpent is added to my hand by its effect, but Imperial Iron Wall is applying its effect during my opponent’s next End Phase, is the effect of Sinister Serpent applied?
A: Banishing a Sinister Serpent from your Graveyard is an effect that can be applied at any point during your opponent’s End Phase. (This does not start a chain, also it cannot be done while resolving another card or effect.) During the End Phase, if Imperial Iron Wall is applying, the effect of Sinister Serpent is resolved without applying an effect. Note that if the effect of Imperial Iron Wall stops applying before this effect of Sinister Serpent is applied, the effect of Sinister Serpent will then occur normally.

Q: If Scrap-Iron Scarecrow has been Set during a previous turn, and is then activated so that it is Set again after resolving instead of being sent to the Graveyard, if Temple of the Kings is applying its effect, can Scrap-Iron Scarecrow be activated again that turn?

Q: Temple of the Kings is face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone. If I set Raigeki Break, and then my opponent activates Mystical Space Typhoon, targeting that Raigeki Break, can I chain it?

http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14563&keyword=&tag=-1

Q: This turn, I Set Ring of Destruction and The Transmigration Prophecy to my Spell & Trap Zone, but they cannot be activated due to the effect of Xing Zhen Hu. If the effect of Temple of the Kings is applying, can I still activate 1 of those Trap Cards?
A: No, you cannot. The effect of Temple of the Kings only allows you to activate Trap Cards during the turn they are Set instead of having to wait until the start of your opponent’s next turn. If Ring of Destruction or The Transmigration Prophecy cannot be activated because of Xing Zhen Hu, then Temple of the Kings will not allow you to activate them.

A: In this case, you may choose which effect to apply in order to activate Dimension Slice. If you activate Dimension Slice due to its own effect, then you may still apply the effect of Temple of the Kings this turn to activate another Trap Card that was Set this turn. Conversely, if you apply the effect of Temple of the Kings instead, you cannot activate another Trap Card that was Set this turn.

Q: Can I activate Crush Card Virus at any time?
A: In order to activate Crush Card Virus, you must be able to apply its effect. Therefore, for example, you cannot activate it if your opponent has 0 cards in their hand and the only monsters they control are face-up monsters with less than 1500 ATK. (Conversely, even if your opponent has 0 cards in their hand, if they control a monster with 1500 or more ATK, you can activate Crush Card Virus.) Also, if your opponent controls no monsters, and their hand is revealed by The Eye of Truth and there are no Spell/Trap Cards in it, you cannot activate Crush Card Virus.
http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=14573&keyword=&tag=-1
Q: If no monsters are destroyed when Crush Card Virus resolves, how do its other effects apply?
A: When resolving Crush Card Virus, if no monsters are destroyed because there are no monsters with 1500 or more ATK on your opponent’s side of the field or hand, then the effect which allows your opponent to destroy monsters in their Deck cannot be applied. Note that even in this case, all damage your opponent takes still becomes 0 until the end of the next turn.

Q: If my opponent activates Crush Card Virus, can I chain My Body as a Shield or Starlight Road?
A: If your opponent activates Crush Card Virus, and you control 1 or more face-up monster with 1500 or more ATK, you can chain My Body as a Shield. (In the case of Starlight Road, you must control 2 or more face-up monsters with 1500 or more ATK.) If your only monsters are face-down on the field and/or in your hand, you cannot chain My Body as a Shield or Starlight Road to Crush Card Virus.

Q: If my opponent activates Crush Card Virus, will Tragoedia on my side of the field or in my hand be destroyed?
A: If Tragoedia is face-up on your side of the field when your opponent’s Crush Card Virus resolves, and its ATK is 1500 or more, it will be destroyed. If Tragoedia is in face-down Defense Position on your side of the field, or in your hand, its ATK is ? and not considered to be 1500 or more, so Tragoedia is not destroyed. Also, when choosing up to 3 monsters from your Deck with 1500 or more ATK to destroy, you cannot destroy Tragoedia.

Q: If either player has 0 cards in their Deck, can Exchange of the Spirit be activated?

Q: When resolving Exchange of the Spirit, after switching the Decks and Graveyards, what happens to the order of cards in the Graveyard?
A: When the Decks and Graveyards are switched with the effect of Exchange of the Spirit, you cannot change the order of cards in the Graveyard. For example if the Deck consisted of 5 cards, A, B, C, D, and E, from top to bottom, then after Exchange of the Spirit resolves, these cards will be placed in the Graveyard, A, B, C, D, and E, from bottom to top. (In other words, card E which was at the bottom of the Deck will now be the top card of the Graveyard.)

A: If there are any Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Monsters in the Graveyard when Exchange of the Spirit resolves, they will be returned to the Extra Deck. (Note that you do not have to shuffle the Extra Deck afterward.) The remaining cards in the Graveyard will be switched with the Deck and shuffled.

Q: If Dandylion is placed in the Graveyard by the effect of Exchange of the Spirit, does its effect activate?
A: Switching your Deck with your Graveyard by the effect of Exchange of the Spirit is not considered sending those cards to the Graveyard. Therefore, if Dandylion was in the Deck, and is now in the Graveyard, its effect does not activate.

When resolving the effect, you will take 3000 damage. (If your Life Points become 0 at this point, you lose the Duel.) Then, your opponent will take 3000 damage.
