SR07-JP000 Tatsunecro
- Being able to use another monster in your hand as a material when this Normal Summoned/Set card is used for a Synchro Summon is not an effect.
- When using this Normal Summoned/Set card as a material for a Synchro Summon along with a monster in your hand this way, the materials used are banished. (This does not start a Chain.)
- If this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard with Monster Reborn after it was previously Normal Summoned/Set, you cannot use a monster in your hand as material when performing a Synchro Summon with this card.
- When Synchro Summoning this way, you can also use other monsters on the field for the Synchro Summon.
- The effect of this card that prevents you from Special Summoning monsters other than Zombie-Type monsters is a Continuous Effect. (It is applied as long as this card remains face-up in the Monster Zone.)
Q: A Normal Summoned Tatsunecro and Zombowwow are face-up in my Monster Zone. In this situation, if I Synchro Summon a Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon using that Tatsunecro and Zombowwow on my field, and a Bacon Saver in my hand, which of those materials are banished?
A: When using Tatsunecro as a material for a Synchro Summon along with a monster in your hand as written in its text, all materials used for that Synchro Summon are banished. In this scenario, the 3 monsters used as materials for the Synchro Summon, Tatsunecro, Zombowwow, and Bacon Saver, are banished.

SR07-JP001 Doomking Balerdroch
- The effect of this card that you activate when another Zombie-Type monster’s effect is activated is a Quick Effect. (It cannot be activated during the Damage Step.)
- This effect does not target. It must be activated by chaining directly to the effect of a Zombie-Type monster other than Doomking Balerdroch.
- You choose which “●” effect to apply when the effect resolves. (You cannot activate this effect if you have already applied both of the “●” effects this turn.)
- The effect that Special Summons this card from the Graveyard is a Trigger Effect that activates in the Graveyard. (It does not target.)
Q: When my opponent activates the effect of Mezuki in their Graveyard, I chain and activate the effect of Doomking Balerdroch. If my opponent then chains the effect of Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, can I further chain the effect of Doomking Balerdroch again?
A: The effect of Doomking Balerdroch can be activated more than once per turn, but not more than once in the same Chain. (However, if you have 2 copies of Doomking Balerdroch on your field, each copy can activate its effect once on the same Chain.) In this scenario, you cannot chain the effect of Doomking Balerdroch to the effect of Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion.

Q: Zombie World is face-up in the Field Zone, and its effect that treats all face-up monsters on the field and in the Graveyards as Zombie-Type monsters is applying. In this situation, when my opponent activates the effect of Effect Veiler from their hand, can I chain the effect of Doomking Balerdroch?
A: In this scenario, the effect of Effect Veiler is activated by sending it from the hand to the Graveyard as the cost, and Effect Veiler will be treated as a Zombie-Type monster in the Graveyard. However, since Effect Veiler was not a Zombie-Type monster in the hand, this situation is not treated as the effect of a Zombie-Type monster activating. Therefore, you cannot activate the effect of Doomking Balerdroch.

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, when a Zombie-Type monster’s effect is activated, can I chain the effect of Doomking Balerdroch?
A: When you activate the effect of Doomking Balerdroch that chains to a Zombie-Type monster’s effect, you choose which “●” effect to apply when the effect resolves. Since cards cannot be banished while the effect of Imperial Iron Wall is applying, you can only choose the effect that negates the Zombie-Type monster’s effect. Furthermore, if you have already chosen the effect that negates the activated effect, you still cannot choose the effect that banishes a card. Since neither effect can be chosen, the effect disappears.

Q: When a Zombie-Type monster’s effect activates, I chain the effect of Doomking Balerdroch. If my opponent further chains Skill Drain, what happens when the effect resolves?
A: When you activate the effect of Doomking Balerdroch that chains to a Zombie-Type monster’s effect, you choose which “●” effect to apply when the effect resolves. If the effect of Skill Drain is applying and the effects of Doomking Balerdroch are negated, neither “●” effect is chosen. For example, if the effect of Doomking Balerdroch that was negated by Skill Drain was the first time that effect was activated this turn, neither “●” effect was applied, so if the effect of Skill Drain stops applying later in the turn and you activate the effect of Doomking Balerdroch again, you can apply either effect.

Q: If my opponent has a Field Spell Card face-up in their Field Zone but I do not have any in my Field Zone, can I still activate the effect of Doomking Balerdroch that Special Summons it from the Graveyard?
A: You can activate the effect of Doomking Balerdroch that Special Summons it from the Graveyard even if only your opponent has a Field Spell Card face-up in their Field Zone. Also, even if there is a face-up Field Spell Card in your opponent’s Field Zone and a face-down Field Spell Card in your Field Zone, the situation does not change, and you can activate the effect of Doomking Balerdroch that Special Summons it from the Graveyard.

Q: Thunder King Rai-Oh is face-up in my opponent’s Monster Zone, and its effect that prevents players from adding cards from the Deck to the hand except by drawing is applying. In this situation, can I activate the effect of Glow-Up Bloom?

If Zombie World is face-up in the Field Zone, you can Special Summon the Level 5 or higher Zombie-Type monster instead, so you can activate the effect of Glow-Up Bloom.
