Q&A Rulings
- Q: My opponent's "Topologic Bomber Dragon" is the only monster in an Extra Monster Zone. If there are 2 copies of "Backlinker" in my hand, can I Special Summon both with their effects?
- A: Provided there is only an opponent's monster in the Extra Monster Zone, you can Special Summon both copies of "Backlinker" during the same turn.[1]
- Q: An "Invoked Raidjin" in the Extra Monster Zone was changed to face-down Defense Position by its own effect. In this situation, if I activate the effect of "Backlinker" that returns all monsters in the Extra Monster Zones to the Deck, what happens?
- A: Even if a monster in the Extra Monster Zone is in face-down Defense Position, you can activate the effect of "Backlinker". (That monster is returned to the Deck normally.)[2]
- Q: My opponent's "Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon" and my own "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" that was Pendulum Summoned from the Extra Deck are each in the 2 Extra Monster Zones. In this situation, if I activate the effect of "Backlinker" that returns all monsters in the Extra Monster Zones to the Deck, what happens?
- A: The effect of "Backlinker" is also applied to Pendulum Monsters in the Extra Monster Zones. In this scenario, since "Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon" is also an Xyz Monster, it returns to its owner's Extra Deck instead of the Main Deck. Meanwhile, "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" returns to the Main Deck normally.[3]
