SR10-JP001 Machina Citadel

• The text that states this card cannot be Normal Summoned/Set and must be Special Summoned by a card effect is not an effect. (Even if this card is sent directly from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard, you can still Special Summon it from your Graveyard with the effect of Monster Reborn.)
• This card’s effect that destroys a Machine monster on your field and all monsters on your opponent’s field with equal or less ATK is a Quick Effect that activates on the field. (It targets 1 face-up Machine monster in your Monster Zone. It can be activated optionally during either player’s turn, but cannot be activated during the Damage Step.)
• This card’s effect that Special Summons it is a Trigger Effect that activates in the Graveyard. (It does not target. It can be activated optionally if a face-up EARTH Machine monster other than Machina Citadel in your Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect while this card is in your Graveyard, and can be activated during the Damage Step.)

Q: I activate the effect of Machina Citadel, targeting Machina Fortress. If my opponent chains Compulsory Evacuation Device and returns their Deskbot 001 to their hand, so that there are no longer any monsters on their field with equal or less ATK than the targeted Machina Fortress, how does the effect of Machina Citadel resolve?
A: The effect of Machina Citadel must destroy the targeted Machine monster and all monsters on your opponent’s field with equal or less ATK than that monster. In this scenario, since there are no longer any monsters on your opponent’s field with equal or less ATK than the targeted Machina Fortress, that Machina Fortress is not destroyed.
