Q&A Rulings
- Q: My "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" is in an Extra Monster Zone, and my "Metalfoes Goldriver" is in a Main Monster Zone. If "Raremetalfoes Bismugear" is already face-up in my Extra Deck, can I activate the effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" targeting "Metalfoes Goldriver", and then add that "Metalfoes Goldriver" to my hand?
- A: The effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" that destroys a card on your field cannot be activated unless you already have a Pendulum Monster face-up in your Extra Deck. In this scenario, since "Raremetalfoes Bismugear" is in your Extra Deck, you can activate the effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite". When the effect resolves, "Metalfoes Goldriver" is destroyed and added face-up to your Extra Deck, so you can choose either "Metalfoes Goldriver" or "Raremetalfoes Bismugear" when adding a monster to your hand.[1]
- Q: My "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" is in an Extra Monster Zone, and my "Metalfoes Goldriver" is in a Main Monster Zone. If the only face-up Pendulum Monster in my Extra Deck is "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon", can I activate the effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" that adds a face-up Pendulum Monster from my Extra Deck to my hand?
- A: The effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" that destroys a card on your field cannot be activated unless you already have a Pendulum Monster face-up in your Extra Deck. However, in this scenario, the only face-up Pendulum Monster in your Extra Deck cannot be added to your hand, so you cannot activate the effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite".[2]
- Q: My "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" is in an Extra Monster Zone, and my "Raremetalfoes Bismugear" is in a Pendulum Zone. In this situation, if my opponent activates "Icarus Attack" and destroys both "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" and "Raremetalfoes Bismugear", will the effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" that draws 1 card activate?
- A: The effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" that draws 1 card is a Trigger Effect that activates on the field. In this scenario, if "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" is destroyed at the same time as a card in your Pendulum Zone and is not on the field, its effect does not activate.[3]
- Q: My "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" is in an Extra Monster Zone. In this situation, when my opponent activates "Enemy Controller" and targets "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" with the effect that takes control of it, I chain "Mystical Space Typhoon" and destroy a Metalfoes Silverd in my Pendulum Zone. After that, will the effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" that draws a card activate?
- A: In this scenario, the effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" would activate in a new Chain after resolving "Mystical Space Typhoon" and "Enemy Controller", but since your opponent now controls "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite", it is not a situation in which a card in your Pendulum Zone was destroyed. Therefore, the effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" does not activate.[4]
- Q: My "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" is in the Extra Monster Zone, and "Astrograph Sorcerer" is face-up in my Pendulum Zone. If I activate the effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" that destroys a face-up card on my field, destroying the "Astrograph Sorcerer" in my Pendulum Zone, then add that same "Astrograph Sorcerer" to my hand, can I then activate the effect of "Astrograph Sorcerer" that Special Summons it?
- A: The effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite" destroys a face-up card on your field, then adds 1 face-up Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck to your hand as part of the same effect, so the effect of "Astrograph Sorcerer" can be activated after that effect finishes resolving. In this scenario, since "Astrograph Sorcerer" was added to your hand by the effect of "Heavymetalfoes Electrumite", it is in your hand during the timing that its effect can be activated. In that case, that "Astrograph Sorcerer" is not treated as a card that was destroyed this turn, so you cannot choose that "Astrograph Sorcerer" when adding a monster with the same name from your Deck to your hand with its effect.[5]
