LVP1-JP001 Perpetual King Archfiend

Q: If I pay 2000 Life Points to activate Solemn Warning, can I activate the effect of Perpetual King Archfiend that sends a Fiend-Type monster from my Deck to the Graveyard afterward?

A: When you pay Life Points to activate a card or effect, you can activate the effect of Perpetual King Archfiend. (However, the effect cannot be activated during the Damage Step.) In this scenario, the effect is activated in a new Chain after the one that Solemn Warning was in resolves, and you send a Fiend-Type monster with 2000 ATK or DEF from your Deck to the Graveyard.

Q: My Perpetual King Archfiend is in an Extra Monster Zone, and it is my Standby Phase. If I pay 500 Life Points for the maintenance cost of Perpetual King Archfiend, can I then activate its effect that sends a Fiend-Type monster from my Deck to the Graveyard?

A: You can activate the effect of Perpetual King Archfiend even when you pay Life Points for its maintenance cost. In that case, since you paid 500 Life Points, you send a Fiend-Type monster with 500 ATK or DEF from your Deck to the Graveyard.

Q: My Perpetual King Archfiend is in an Extra Monster Zone. In this situation, when my opponent activates Monster Reborn, I chain Solemn Warning by paying 2000 Life Points. My opponent further chains Seven Tools of the Bandit, but I chain Solemn Judgment by paying 3000 Life Points. In this case, how will I be able to activate and resolve the effect of Perpetual King Archfiend that sends a Fiend-Type monster from my Deck to the Graveyard?

A: In this scenario, the effect of Perpetual King Archfiend can be activated after resolving the Chain in which you activated both Solemn Warning and Solemn Judgment by paying Life Points. In this case, although you paid Life Points twice, the effect of Perpetual King Archfiend can only be activated once per Chain, and you must choose whether you are activating it as a result of paying Life Points for Solemn Warning or for Solemn Judgment. If you activated it for Solemn Warning, you send a Fiend-Type monster with 2000 ATK or DEF from your Deck to the Graveyard. If you activated it for Solemn Judgment, you send a Fiend-Type monster with 3000 ATK or DEF from your Deck to the Graveyard.

LVP1-JP006 Gladiator Beast Dragases

Q: Skill Drain is face-up in my opponent’s Spell & Trap Zone. In this situation, during the Battle Step in which my Gladiator Beast Dragases declares an attack, if I activate Mystical Space Typhoon from my hand and destroy Skill Drain, will the effect of Gladiator Beast Dragases that applies when a “Gladiator Beast” monster is attacking apply afterward?

A: In this scenario, the first effect of Gladiator Beast Dragases would apply as soon as it declares an attack, but that effect is negated by Skill Drain. When Skill Drain is destroyed, the effects of Gladiator Beast Dragases are no longer negated, so that effect is applied immediately and your opponent cannot activate any cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step, also Gladiator Beast Dragases will not be destroyed by battle.

Q: My Gladiator Beast Dragases and my opponent’s Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora are each in an Extra Monster Zone, and my Gladiator Beast Augustus is in my Main Monster Zone. In this situation, during the Start Step of my Battle Phase, my opponent activates the effect of Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora and makes Gladiator Beast Augustus unaffected by other cards’ effects. If I declare an attack with that Gladiator Beast Augustus, will the effect of Gladiator Beast Dragases apply?

A: In this scenario, since Gladiator Beast Augustus is unaffected by other cards’ effects, it can be destroyed by battle normally during this battle. Even so, the effect of Gladiator Beast Dragases still prevents your opponent’s cards and effects from activating until the end of this Damage Step.

Q: At the end of the Battle Phase in which my Gladiator Beast Dragases in the Extra Monster Zone battled, if I only have 1 available Main Monster Zone, can I activate the effect of Gladiator Beast Dragases that Special Summons 2 “Gladiator Beast” monsters from my Deck? Also, if a Gladiator Beast Dragases in my Main Monster Zone battles and I only have 1 other available Main Monster Zone, can I activate the effect of Gladiator Beast Dragases that Special Summons 2 “Gladiator Beast” monsters from my Deck?

A: The effect of Gladiator Beast Dragases that activates at the end of the Battle Phase must Special Summon 2 “Gladiator Beast” monsters from your Deck, so it cannot be activated unless you have 2 Main Monster Zones available. If only 1 Main Monster Zone is available, you cannot activate the effect of a Gladiator Beast Dragases in the Extra Monster Zone, however if Gladiator Beast Dragases is in your Main Monster Zone, you can activate its effect since returning it to the Extra Deck to pay its cost will leave 2 Main Monster Zones available.

LVP1-JP011 Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion

Q: I Link Summon Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion while I have 3 cards left in my Deck, and activate its effect that sends a card from my Deck to the Graveyard. At this time, although I will have 2 cards left in my Deck afterward, will its second effect that sends 3 cards from the top of my Deck to the Graveyard activate?

A: As in this scenario, if a card is sent from your Deck to the Graveyard by an effect and you have less than 3 cards left in your Deck as a result, the effect of Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion that sends 3 cards from your Deck to the Graveyard will activate. In that case, you cannot send 3 cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard, so you will send as many as possible. (In this scenario, you send the 2 remaining cards to the Graveyard.)

If my opponent chains Enemy Controller to that effect and takes control of Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion, will its second effect that sends 3 cards from the top of my Deck to the Graveyard activate?

A: In this scenario, the first effect of Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion resolves after the effect of Enemy Controller switches its control to your opponent. In this case, it was not on your field when a card was sent from your Deck to your Graveyard, so its effect that sends 3 cards from the Deck to the Graveyard does not activate.

Q: When my Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion is destroyed by battle or by my opponent’s card effect and sent to the Graveyard, can I activate its effect that adds a card to my hand by targeting that same Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion?

A: When Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion is sent to the Graveyard by battle or by your opponent’s card effect, you can target it in your Graveyard with its own effect. (In that case, Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion returns to the Extra Deck.)

Q: If I activated the effect of Gem-Knight Phantomcore that Fusion Summons a “Gem-Knight” monster, can I include Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and/or Link Monsters in my Graveyard or that are banished as materials?

A: When performing a Fusion Summon using the effect of Gem-Knight Phantomcore, you can include Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and/or Link Monsters as materials. For example, if you Fusion Summon a Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli, which requires Gem-Knight Lapis and another “Gem-Knight” monster, you can use a Gem-Knight Lapis and a Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond in your Graveyard as materials. (Gem-Knight Lapis returns to the Deck, but Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond returns to the Extra Deck.)

Q: I activate the effect of a Gem-Knight Phantomcore in my Extra Monster Zone that Fusion Summons a “Gem-Knight” monster. If my opponent chains Ojama Trio and Special Summons Ojama Tokens to my Main Monster Zones so that I have no Zones to Special Summon from the Extra Deck with, what happens?

A: The effect of Gem-Knight Phantomcore will not resolve if there are no Zones that you can use to Special Summon from the Extra Deck. (You will not return any materials to the Deck.)

Q: I activate the effect of a Gem-Knight Phantomcore, and Fusion Summon a Gem-Knight Master Diamond. If I activate Book of Moon during the same turn and change that Gem-Knight Master Diamond to face-down Defense Position, can it attack directly this turn?

A: As in this scenario, if a monster that was Fusion Summoned by the effect of Gem-Knight Phantomcore is changed to face-down Defense Position, the part of that effect that prevents that monster from attacking directly this turn disappears. Thus, if that monster is flipped face-up again that turn, such as by the effect of Book of Taiyou, it can attack directly.

Q: If both players have Steelswarm Origin in an Extra Monster Zone, can players Special Summon from the Extra Deck?

A: While Steelswarm Origin is in the Extra Monster Zone, monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck to a Main Monster Zone must be Special Summoned to a Zone that Steelswarm Origin points to. In this scenario, since the effects of 2 copies of Steelswarm Origin are applying, neither player can Special Summon from the Extra Deck to a Main Monster Zone. However, monsters can be Special Summoned to the Extra Monster Zone as usual, provided the Steelswarm Origin in the Extra Monster Zone is used as material.

Q: Can the effect of Steelswarm Origin that Special Summons “lswarm” monsters from the Deck be activated when my opponent’s monsters are destroyed by battle or card effect?

A: In this scenario, if the targeted Insect-Type monster is in face-down Defense Position when the effect of Inzektor Pico-Falena resolves, the effect is not applied. (You do not choose an Insect-Type monster in your Deck.)

A: Insect-Type monsters treated as Equip Cards by the effect of Inzektor Pico-Falena will have the effect “The equipped monster gains 500 ATK/DEF”, but any effects that monster normally has that activate or apply while it is treated as an Equip Card, such as the effect of Inzektor Hornet, can still be used. In this scenario, the effect of Inzektor Hornet also increases the equipped monster’s Level by 3, and it can be sent to the Graveyard to activate its effect that destroys a card on the field.

Q: When I Link Summon Inzektor Pico-Falena, I activate its effect targeting a face-up Golden Ladybug on my field. If I equip Golden Ladybug with an Inzektor Giga-Mantis using this effect, what happens to its ATK and DEF?

A: In this scenario, although the original ATK and DEF of Golden Ladybug are both 0, the effect of the equipped Inzektor Giga-Mantis makes the original ATK become 2400, and the effect applied as a result of being equipped by the effect of Inzektor Pico-Falena further increases its ATK and DEF by 500. Therefore, Golden Ladybug will have 2900 ATK and 500 DEF.

Q: If I activate the effect of Hieratic Seal of the Celestial Spheres that returns a face-up card on the field to the hand, can I choose a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monster on the field as the card to return?

A: You can choose a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monster on the field when resolving the effect of Hieratic Seal of the Celestial Spheres. In that case, that monster returns to its owner’s Extra Deck, not their hand. (You can also choose Hieratic Seal of the Celestial Spheres itself.)

If an Elemental HERO Honest Neos is already face-up on the field, can I activate the effect of that Elemental HERO Honest Neos that increases its own ATK this turn?

A: The effect of Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights prevents you from activating the effects of monsters with the same name as the Warrior-Type monster added to your hand, including those already face-up on the field. Therefore, in this scenario, you cannot activate the effects of the Elemental HERO Honest Neos in your hand or the one on the field this turn.

A: The effect of Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights that prevents you from activating the effects of monsters with the same name as the Warrior-Type monster added to your hand is not treated as one that affects monsters.

A: In this scenario, the effect of Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights prevents you from Normal Summoning, Special Summoning, or activating the effects of Buster Blader, the Destruction Swordmaster this turn. However, since Buster Blader, the Destruction Swordmaster has an effect that treats it as Buster Blader while on the field or in the Graveyard, you can Special Summon it from the Graveyard with Monster Reborn during that turn.

A: Normally, while Shaddoll Construct is in the Extra Monster Zone, it does not point to any Main Monster Zones, so you must include it as a material when Fusion Summoning with its effect.

LVP1-JP076 Aromaseraphy Jasmine

Q: Aromaseraphy Jasmine is face-up on my field, and my Life Points are 6000 while my opponent’s are 5000. If my opponent attacks Aromaseraphy Jasmine with Punishment Dragon, and I take battle damage as a result, is Aromaseraphy Jasmine destroyed by that battle?

A: In this scenario, your Aromaseraphy Jasmine (1800 ATK) and your opponent’s Punishment Dragon (3000 ATK) battle, so normally your Aromaseraphy Jasmine would be destroyed. However, if your Life Points are higher than your opponent’s, the effect of Aromaseraphy Jasmine prevents it from being destroyed by battle, even if you take battle damage so that your Life Points become lower than your opponent’s. (After that battle, Aromaseraphy Jasmine and any Plant-Type monsters it points to can be destroyed by battle as usual.)

Q: When activating the effect of Aromaseraphy Jasmine that Special Summons a Plant-Type monster from the Deck, can I Tribute a Token as the cost?

Q: My Aromaseraphy Jasmine is in an Extra Monster Zone, and another copy of Aromaseraphy Jasmine is in a Main Monster Zone that the first one points to. In this situation, if I activate the effect of Aroma Garden and gain 500 Life Points, can I then activate the effect of each Aromaseraphy Jasmine that adds a Plant-Type monster from my Deck to my hand?

A: The effect of each Aromaseraphy Jasmine that adds a Plant-Type monster from your Deck to your hand will activate once per turn if you gain Life Points. In this scenario, since you gained Life Points while you had 2 copies of Aromaseraphy Jasmine on your field, the effects of both copies will activate.

A: If Cherubini, Black Angel of the Burning Abyss would be destroyed by battle or an opponent’s card effect while the effect of Macro Cosmos is applying, you can still apply its effect that sends another card on your field to the Graveyard instead. The card you choose to send to the Graveyard is banished due to the effect of Macro Cosmos, but Cherubini, Black Angel of the Burning Abyss is not destroyed.

Q: When activating the effect of Cherubini, Black Angel of the Burning Abyss that increases the ATK and DEF of a “Burning Abyss” monster on the field, if I send Infernity Necromancer from my Deck to the Graveyard with 0 ATK and 2000 DEF, can I target Cherubini, Black Angel of the Burning Abyss itself with the effect?

In that case, the effect would increase the targeted monster’s ATK by 0 and its DEF by 2000, but since Cherubini, Black Angel of the Burning Abyss is a Link Monster without a DEF value, the DEF increase is not applied and its ATK and DEF do not change.

A: The effect of Heavymetalfoes Electrumite that destroys a card on your field cannot be activated unless you already have a Pendulum Monster face-up in your Extra Deck. In this scenario, since Raremetalfoes Bismugear is in your Extra Deck, you can activate the effect of Heavymetalfoes Electrumite. When the effect resolves, Metalfoes Goldriver is destroyed and added face-up to your Extra Deck, so you can choose either Metalfoes Goldriver or Raremetalfoes Bismugear when adding a monster to your hand.

At this time, can I activate the effect of Aleister the Meltdown Invoker that adds Invocation or The Book of the Law from my Deck to my hand?

A: ABC-Buster Dragon is a Fusion Monster, but Special Summoning it using its own procedure is not a Fusion Summon. Therefore, in this scenario, you cannot activate the effect of Aleister the Meltdown Invoker.

Q: When my opponent activates Flash Fusion, I chain Call of the Haunted and Special Summon an Aleister the Meltdown Invoker from my Graveyard. Afterward, can I activate the effect of Aleister the Meltdown Invoker that adds Invocation or The Book of the Law from my Deck to my hand?

A: The effect of Aleister the Meltdown Invoker that adds Invocation or The Book of the Law from your Deck to your hand can be activated when a Fusion Monster is Special Summoned while Aleister the Meltdown Invoker is face-up on the field.
