Q&A Rulings
- Q: There is a "Goblin Attack Force" with 2 A-Counters on it and an Alien Skull with 1 A-Counter on it face-up in my opponent's Monster Zone. In this situation, if my "Alien Shocktrooper M-Frame" is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, and I activate its effect, how does it resolve?
- A: The effect of "Alien Shocktrooper M-Frame" Special Summons Reptile-Type monsters from your Graveyard up to the number of your opponent's monsters that have 1 or more A-Counters on them. Even if there are 2 or more A-Counters on a single monster, you do not get to Special Summon more monsters. (In this scenario, you can Special Summon 2 monsters.)[2]
