Q&A Rulings
- Q: "Macro Cosmos" is face-up in my opponent's Spell & Trap Zone. In this situation, if a "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" would be destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect, can I apply its effect that sends another card on my field to the Graveyard instead?
- A: If "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" would be destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect while the effect of "Macro Cosmos" is applying, you can still apply its effect that sends another card on your field to the Graveyard instead. The card you choose to send to the Graveyard is banished due to the effect of "Macro Cosmos", but "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" is not destroyed.[1]
- Q: When activating the effect of "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" that increases the ATK and DEF of a "Burning Abyss" monster by sending a Level 3 monster from the Deck to the Graveyard, can I send a monster with 0 ATK and DEF such as "The Agent of Force - Mars"?
- A: When activating the effect of "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" that increases the ATK and DEF of a "Burning Abyss" monster on the field, you cannot send a Level 3 monster from your Deck to the Graveyard if it has both 0 ATK and DEF.[2]
- Q: When activating the effect of "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" that increases the ATK and DEF of a "Burning Abyss" monster on the field, if I send "Infernity Necromancer" from my Deck to the Graveyard with 0 ATK and 2000 DEF, can I target "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" itself with the effect?
- A: If "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" targets itself with its effect, you can send "Infernity Necromancer" to the Graveyard as the cost. In that case, the effect would increase the targeted monster's ATK by 0 and its DEF by 2000, but since "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" is a Link Monster without a DEF value, the DEF increase is not applied and its ATK and DEF do not change.[3]
- Q: My "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" is in the Extra Monster Zone. When I activate "Cosmic Cyclone" and target my opponent's Set card, my opponent chains that Set "Dark Contract with the Witch" and activates its effect targeting "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss". When it resolves, can I apply the effect of "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" and destroy my activated "Cosmic Cyclone" instead?
- A: Quick-Play Spell Cards, Normal Trap Cards, etc. are not sent to the GY immediately after being activated, but rather once all activated effects in the Chain have resolved. In this scenario, when your "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" would be destroyed by the effect of "Dark Contract with the Witch", the 2 cards on your field are "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" and "Cosmic Cyclone". If you apply the effect of "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss", your "Cosmic Cyclone" which has not resolved yet can be destroyed instead.[4]
- Q: My "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" in the Extra Monster Zone and a "Fluff Token" in my Main Monster Zone are the only cards on my field. In this situation, if "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" would be destroyed by battle or opponent's card effect, can I apply its effect that sends another card on my field to the GY instead?
- A: Since a Token on your field is considered a card you control, you can choose a Token when applying the effect of "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss". In that case, the Token disappears when it leaves the field and is not sent to the GY, but "Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss" remains on the field without being destroyed.[5]
