Q&A Rulings
- Q: "Lair of Darkness" is face-up in my Field Zone. In this situation, if my opponent activates the effect of their "Breaker the Magical Warrior" while "Doomcaliber Knight" is face-up in my Monster Zone, can I apply the effect of "Lair of Darkness" when activating the effect of "Doomcaliber Knight", so that I Tribute my opponent's "Breaker the Magical Warrior" for the cost?
- A: When applying the effect of "Lair of Darkness" that allows you to Tribute an opponent's DARK monster when activating a card or effect, the Tributed monster must be an appropriate monster to Tribute for that effect. Since the effect of "Doomcaliber Knight" is activated by Tributing itself, you cannot apply the effect of "Lair of Darkness" to Tribute an opponent's DARK monster instead.[1]
- Q: "Lair of Darkness" is face-up in my Field Zone. In this situation, if there is a face-up "Kuribandit" on my opponent's field, can I activate "Majespecter Tornado" and apply the effect of "Lair of Darkness", so that I Tribute my opponent's "Kuribandit" for the cost?
- A: When applying the effect of "Lair of Darkness" that allows you to Tribute an opponent's DARK monster when activating a card or effect, the Tributed monster must be an appropriate monster to Tribute for that effect. Since "Majespecter Tornado" is activated by Tributing a WIND Spellcaster monster, you cannot apply the effect of "Lair of Darkness" to Tribute an opponent's DARK monster instead.[2]
- Q: "Lair of Darkness" is face-up in my Field Zone. In this situation, if there is a face-up "Hunter Dragon" on my opponent's field that is unaffected by Spell effects due to the effect of "Forbidden Lance", can I activate a card such as "Grinning Grave Virus" and apply the effect of "Lair of Darkness", so that I Tribute that opponent's "Hunter Dragon" for the cost?
- A: In this scenario, since your opponent's "Hunter Dragon" is unaffected by the effects of Spell Cards, it is also unaffected by the effect of "Lair of Darkness" that allows you to Tribute it when activating a card or effect. Therefore, in this scenario, you cannot Tribute that "Hunter Dragon" when activating a card or effect.[3]
- Q: During my opponent's End Phase, the effect of "Lair of Darkness" activates, and 2 "Torment Tokens" are Special Summoned to my opponent's field. In this case, which player chooses the Main Monster Zones to place the "Torment Tokens" in?
- A: When a "Torment Token" is Special Summoned by the effect of your "Lair of Darkness", even if Special Summoned to your opponent's field, you (the one who activated the effect of "Lair of Darkness") chooses which Main Monster Zones they are Special Summoned in.[4]
