Q: A Sublime Knight – Expaladin equipped with Phoenix Gearfried by its own effect is face-up in my Monster Zone. In this situation, if both Sublime Knight – Expaladin and the equipped Phoenix Gearfried are destroyed by the effect of my opponent’s Guardragon Cataclysm, can I activate the second effect of Sublime Knight – Expaladin?
A: In this scenario, since Sublime Knight – Expaladin was destroyed by the effect of your opponent’s Guardragon Cataclysm while equipped with a Gemini monster, you can activate the effect of Sublime Knight – Expaladin that Special Summons the equipped Gemini monster from the Graveyard. (Phoenix Gearfried will be Special Summoned.)

A: In this scenario, you can still activate the effect of Raptinus’ Supreme Magicblade. In that case, since you have no monsters in your hand to Normal Summon, you must Normal Summon Phoenix Gearfried again so that it becomes an Effect Monster.

A: In this scenario, Gemini monsters on the field are treated as Effect Monsters and gain their effects due to the effect of Superalloy Beast Raptinus, so you can activate the effect of Evocator Eveque when it is Normal Summoned from the hand.

Q: My opponent activates Monster Reborn, targeting a Superalloy Beast Raptinus in their Graveyard. If I chain Call of the Haunted and Special Summon an Evocator Eveque from my Graveyard, can I then activate its effect?
A: In this scenario, Evocator Eveque is first Special Summoned as a Normal Monster, then the effect of the Special Summoned Superalloy Beast Raptinus is applied and treats Evocator Eveque as an Effect Monster. In that case, you cannot activate the effect of Evocator Eveque that Special Summons a monster from your Graveyard.

• This card targets a total of 2 monsters; 1 face-up monster in your opponent’s Monster Zone and 1 face-up Warrior monster in your Monster Zone.
• This card’s effect finishes resolving by equipping the opponent’s targeted monster to your targeted monster. (The part of the effect that prevents your opponent from taking battle damage from that monster for the rest of the turn is applied immediately once this card resolves.)
• After you equip the opponent’s monster to your monster with this card’s effect, if your monster would be destroyed by battle or card effect, the part of the effect that destroys the equipped monster instead is applied. (This does not start a Chain.)

 

Q: I activate Cross Over, targeting my God Phoenix Gearfried and my opponent’s Thunder Dragonroar. If Forbidden Lance is chained, and God Phoenix Gearfried becomes unaffected by Spell effects, how does Cross Over resolve?
A: Even if the monster on your field that you targeted with Cross Over is unaffected by the effects of Spell Cards, the effect is applied normally. In this scenario, your opponent’s Thunder Dragonroar is equipped to God Phoenix Gearfried, your opponent takes no battle damage from God Phoenix Gearfried for the rest of this turn, and if God Phoenix Gearfried would be destroyed by battle or card effect, the equipped Thunder Dragonroar is destroyed instead.

Q: I activate Cross Over, targeting my God Phoenix Gearfried and my opponent’s Thunder Dragonroar. If Forbidden Lance is chained, and Thunder Dragonroar becomes unaffected by Spell effects, how does Cross Over resolve?
A: If the opponent’s monster that you targeted with Cross Over is unaffected by the effects of Spell Cards, since it cannot be equipped to your targeted monster, the effect that prevents your opponent from taking battle damage for the rest of the turn is not applied, and the effect that allows you to destroy the equipped monster when your monster would be destroyed is also not applied.
