Q&A Rulings
- Q: There are 2 copies of "Defect Compiler" on my field. In this case, if I take damage from the effect of my opponent’s "Trickstar Lycoris", how will the effect of each "Defect Compiler" that places a Defect Counter on them be applied?
- A: If you would take damage from your opponent’s card effect, the effect of 1 Defect Compiler will be applied and place a Defect Counter on it instead. If there are 2 copies of "Defect Compiler" on your field in a scenario such as this one, only 1 places a Defect Counter on itself. In that case, since the effect of the other "Defect Compiler" was not applied, it will gain a Defect Counter the next time you take effect damage from your opponent’s card.[1]
- Q: My opponent activated "Ring of Destruction", targeting a "Defect Compiler" on my field. In this case, will the effect of "Defect Compiler" that places a Defect Counter on it be applied?
- A: The effect of "Defect Compiler" that places a Defect Counter on it is a Continuous Effect. If "Defect Compiler" is destroyed by your opponent’s "Ring of Destruction", its effect is not applied. (You take damage normally.)[2]
- Q: My opponent activated "One Day of Peace" during their turn, and its effect that reduces all damage each player takes to 0 is applied. In this situation, if the effect of my opponent’s "Burning Land" is applied during my Standby Phase, will the effect of "Defect Compiler" place a Defect Counter on it instead?
- A: The effect of "Defect Compiler" that places a Defect Counter on it is applied when you would take damage from your opponent's card effect. In this situation, the damage you would take from the effect of "Burning Land" becomes 0 due to the effect of "One Day of Peace", so the effect of "Defect Compiler" is never applied. (Do not place a Defect Counter on it.)[3]
