Q&A Rulings
- Q: When Tribute Summoning "Ancient Gear Golem", which is Level 8, can I apply the effects of both "Geartown" and "Amarylease" and Tribute Summon "Ancient Gear Golem" without Tributing?
- A: When Normal Summoning "Ancient Gear Golem", you can apply both the effect of "Geartown" and the effect of "Amarylease" that reduce the number of required Tributes by 1. In this case, "Ancient Gear Golem" can be Normal Summoned without Tributing.[2]
- Q: During a turn in which I have activated the effect of "Amarylease", can I apply the "You can Tribute Summon this card in face-up Attack Position by Tributing 1 "Steelswarm" monster" method of "Steelswarm Girastag" and Normal Summon it without Tributing?
- A: When Tribute Summoning "Steelswarm Girastag" regularly, since it is a Level 7 monster, you must Tribute 2 monsters. At this time, you can apply the effect of "Amarylease" and reduce the number of required Tributes by 1. However, the method of "Steelswarm Girastag" requires you to Tribute 1 "Steelswarm" monster to Tribute Summon it in face-up Attack Position, when normally 2 Tributes are needed. When Tributing for this method you cannot apply the effect of "Amarylease" and reduce the number of Tributes by 1.[3]
