Q&A Rulings
- Q: Can "Dark Magician the Dragon Knight" be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by the effect of "Eternal Soul"?
- A: "Dark Magician the Dragon Knight" is treated as "Dark Magician" while on the field or in the Graveyard, so if it was sent to the Graveyard after being Fusion Summoned, it can be Special Summoned by the effect of "Eternal Soul". If "Dark Magician the Dragon Knight" was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by the effect of "Cyber-Stein", it was not properly Special Summoned, so it cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with the effect of Eternal Soul.[2]
- Q: Can I Tribute "Dark Magician the Dragon Knight" to activate "Dedication through Light and Darkness"?
- A: "Dark Magician the Dragon Knight" is treated as "Dark Magician" while on the field or in the Graveyard, so it can be Tributed to activate "Dedication through Light and Darkness". However, since its name is not treated as Dark Magician while it is in face-down Defense Position, you cannot Tribute a face-down Defense Position "Dark Magician the Dragon Knight" to activate Dedication through Light and Darkness.[3]
- Q: My "Dark Magician the Dragon Knight" is face-up in the Extra Monster Zone, and its effect that prevents Spell/Trap Cards on my field from being destroyed by my opponent's effects is applying. In this situation, if "Chicken Game" is face-up in my Field Zone, and either I or my opponent activates its effect that destroys it, will it be destroyed?
- A: The effect of "Chicken Game" is one that each player can activate during their own Main Phase, and is treated as the effect of the player who activated it. In this scenario, if you activated the effect of your "Chicken Game", it is not an opponent's card effect, so "Chicken Game" is destroyed. If your opponent activated the effect of your "Chicken Game", it will be treated as your opponent's effect, so that "Chicken Game" in your Field Zone is not destroyed due to the effect of "Dark Magician the Dragon Knight".[4]
