Q&A Rulings
- Q: When I activate the effect of "F.A. Hang On Mach" that increases its Level, my opponent chains the effect of "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit". In this case, does the effect of "F.A. Hang On Mach" that makes it unaffected by effects activated by my opponent’s monsters with a lower Level/Rank apply?
- A: The effect of "F.A. Hang On Mach" that makes it unaffected by effects activated by your opponent’s monsters with a lower Level/Rank includes not only monster effects activated on the field, but also from the hand or Graveyard. Therefore, in this scenario, since "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit" is Level 3, "F.A. Hang On Mach" is unaffected and is not destroyed.[2]
- Q: An "F.A. Hang On Mach" on my field is Level 7, and its effect that banishes any card that would be sent to my opponent’s Graveyard is applying. In this situation, if my opponent takes control of my "F.A. Sonic Meister" with the effect of "Comic Hand", and it is then destroyed while under my opponent’s control, will it be banished by the effect of my "F.A. Hang On Mach"?
- A: The effect of "F.A. Hang On Mach" banishes any card that would be sent to the opponent’s Graveyard, viewed from the perspective of the player controlling "F.A. Hang On Mach". In this scenario, your "F.A. Sonic Meister" is destroyed while on your opponent’s field, but is sent to the owner’s (your) Graveyard, so it is not banished by the effect of "F.A. Hang On Mach" and is sent to the Graveyard normally.[3]
- Q: An "F.A. Hang On Mach" on my field is Level 7, and its effect that banishes any card that would be sent to my opponent’s Graveyard is applying. In this situation, my "F.A. Hang On Mach" and my opponent’s "Downerd Magician" battle, and they are both destroyed. When the effect of "Downerd Magician" that detaches an Xyz Material from it activates after damage calculation, will that material be banished by the effect of "F.A. Hang On Mach"?
- A: The effect of "F.A. Hang On Mach" that banishes any card that would be sent to the opponent’s Graveyard is a Continuous Effect, so if "F.A. Hang On Mach" is destroyed by battle, the effect stops applying. In this scenario, the Xyz Material detached from "Downerd Magician" by its own effect is not banished, and is sent to the Graveyard normally.[4]
