Q&A Rulings
- Q: "Skill Drain" is face-up in my opponent's Spell & Trap Zone. In this situation, during the Battle Step in which my "Gladiator Beast Dragases" declares an attack, if I activate "Mystical Space Typhoon" from my hand and destroy "Skill Drain", will the effect of "Gladiator Beast Dragases" that applies when a "Gladiator Beast" monster is attacking apply afterward?
- A: In this scenario, the first effect of "Gladiator Beast Dragases" would apply as soon as it declares an attack, but that effect is negated by "Skill Drain". When "Skill Drain" is destroyed, the effects of "Gladiator Beast Dragases" are no longer negated, so that effect is applied immediately and your opponent cannot activate any cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step, also "Gladiator Beast Dragases" will not be destroyed by battle.[1]
- Q: My "Gladiator Beast Dragases" and my opponent's "Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora" are each in an Extra Monster Zone, and my "Gladiator Beast Augustus" is in my Main Monster Zone. In this situation, during the Start Step of my Battle Phase, my opponent activates the effect of "Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora" and makes "Gladiator Beast Augustus" unaffected by other cards' effects. If I declare an attack with that "Gladiator Beast Augustus", will the effect of "Gladiator Beast Dragases" apply?
- A: In this scenario, since "Gladiator Beast Augustus" is unaffected by other cards' effects, it can be destroyed by battle normally during this battle. Even so, the effect of "Gladiator Beast Dragases" still prevents your opponent's cards and effects from activating until the end of this Damage Step.[2]
- Q: At the end of the Battle Phase in which my "Gladiator Beast Dragases" in the Extra Monster Zone battled, if I only have 1 available Main Monster Zone, can I activate the effect of "Gladiator Beast Dragases" that Special Summons 2 "Gladiator Beast" monsters from my Deck? Also, if a "Gladiator Beast Dragases" in my Main Monster Zone battles and I only have 1 other available Main Monster Zone, can I activate the effect of "Gladiator Beast Dragases" that Special Summons 2 "Gladiator Beast" monsters from my Deck?
- A: The effect of "Gladiator Beast Dragases" that activates at the end of the Battle Phase must Special Summon 2 "Gladiator Beast" monsters from your Deck, so it cannot be activated unless you have 2 Main Monster Zones available. If only 1 Main Monster Zone is available, you cannot activate the effect of a "Gladiator Beast Dragases" in the Extra Monster Zone, however if "Gladiator Beast Dragases" is in your Main Monster Zone, you can activate its effect since returning it to the Extra Deck to pay its cost will leave 2 Main Monster Zones available.[3]
