Q&A Rulings

A: Even while the effect of "Droll & Lock Bird" is applying, you can activate the first effect of "Minerva, the Exalted Lightsworn". However, since you cannot add any cards from your Deck to your hand, even if any of the cards sent to the Graveyard by its effect are "Lightsworn" monsters, you cannot draw any cards.[2]
A: Even if the effect of "Droll & Lock Bird" is applying, you can activate the effect of "SPYRAL Double Helix". If the top card of your opponent’s Deck is of the declared type, you cannot add a "SPYRAL" monster from your Deck to your hand due to the effect of "Droll & Lock Bird", so you must add one from your Graveyard to your hand, or Special Summon one to your Zone that "SPYRAL Double Helix" points to.[3]
A: Because the effect of "Stellarnova Alpha" includes drawing a card, if the effect of "Droll & Lock Bird" has been applied that turn, "Stellarnova Alpha" cannot be activated. It should be noted that "Stellarnova Alpha" can still be activated in a chain to the effect of "Droll & Lock Bird".[4]
A: If either player is unable to draw cards due to the effects of "Protector of the Sanctuary" or "Droll & Lock Bird", "Silent Burning" cannot be activated.[5]
A: While the effects of "Thunder King Rai-Oh", "Droll & Lock Bird", or "Mistake" are applying, neither player can activate "Wrongful Arrest".[6]
A: While the effect of "Droll & Lock Bird" is applying, "Bad Reaction?" cannot be activated. Also, if the effect of "Droll & Lock Bird" is applying when "Bad Reaction?" resolves, your opponent cannot draw any cards, so the effect of gaining Life Points also does not apply.[7]
A: Even while the effect of "Droll & Lock Bird" is applying, you can activate the first effect of "Minerva, Lightsworn Saint", and the part of it that sends the top 3 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard applies normally. However, since you cannot add any cards from your Deck to your hand, you will not be able to draw any cards even if there are "Lightsworn" cards among those sent. (The effect finishes resolving after the 3 cards are sent to the Graveyard.)[8]
A: While the effect of your opponent’s "Droll & Lock Bird" is applying, you can activate "Shared Ride", though you cannot draw if your opponent adds a card from their Graveyard to their hand. (The same is true if the effect of "Droll & Lock Bird" is activated after the effect of "Shared Ride" is applying.)[9]
