Q&A Rulings

  • Q: "Magical Meltdown" is face-up in my Field Zone, and its effect prevents the activations of my cards and effects that perform Fusion Summons from being negated. In this situation, if I activate "Invocation", but my opponent chains "Dimensional Barrier" and declares Fusion Monster, what happens?
A: While the effect of "Magical Meltdown" is applying, the activations of your cards and effects that perform Fusion Summons are not negated, but "Dimensional Barrier" does not have an effect that negates activations. Therefore, when resolving "Invocation", since you cannot Special Summon Fusion Monsters because of the effect of "Dimensional Barrier", the Fusion Summon is not performed. (No Fusion Material monsters are sent to the GY or banished.)[1]
A: Since the activation of "Future Fusion" does not include an effect that Fusion Summons, the effect of "Magical Meltdown" will not be applied. Therefore, the activation of "Future Fusion" is negated by "Magic Jammer", and it is destroyed.[2]
A: The effect of "Future Fusion" that sends monsters from your Main Deck to the GY during the first Standby Phase after the card was activated is not an effect that performs a Fusion Summon, so the effect of "Magical Meltdown" will not be applied. (Your opponent can negate the activation of this effect with "Cosmic Blazar Dragon".) The effect of "Future Fusion" that Special Summons the Fusion Monster during the second Standby Phase after it was activated is an effect that Fusion Summons a monster, so the effect of "Magical Meltdown" will be applied. (The activation will not be negated by the effect of "Cosmic Blazar Dragon".)[3]
  • Q: "Magical Meltdown" is face-up in my Field Zone, and its effect prevents the activations of cards and effects that perform Fusion Summons from being negated. In this case, if I activate "Instant Fusion", but my opponent chains "Magic Jammer", will the activation of "Instant Fusion" be negated?
A: The effect of "Instant Fusion" Special Summons a Level 5 or lower Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, treated as a Fusion Summon, so the effect of "Magical Meltdown" will apply. Therefore, in this scenario, the activation of "Instant Fusion" is not negated by the effect of "Magic Jammer".[4]
A: The effect of "Ritual Beast's Bond" Special Summons a “Ritual Beast” monster from your Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions, but is not an effect that performs a Fusion Summon, so the effect of "Magical Meltdown" will not apply. Therefore, in this scenario, the activation of "Instant Fusion" is negated by the effect of "Magic Jammer".[5]
  • Q: "Magical Meltdown" is face-up in my Field Zone, and its effect prevents the activations of cards and effects that perform Fusion Summons from being negated. In this case, if I activate the effect of "Fusion Substitute" in my GY that returns a Fusion Monster in my GY to the Extra Deck, but my opponent chains the effect of "Shooting Quasar Dragon", will the activation of the effect be negated?
A: The effect of "Fusion Substitute" that activates in your GY returns a Fusion Monster in your GY to the Extra Deck, and then draws 1 card, but it is not an effect that performs a Fusion Summon so the effect of "Magical Meltdown" will not apply. Therefore, in this scenario, the activation of the effect of "Fusion Substitute" is negated by the effect of "Shooting Quasar Dragon".[6]
A: While the effect of "Magical Meltdown" is applied, although the activations of your cards and effects that perform Fusion Summons will not be negated, the effect of "D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried" does not negate activations. Therefore, the activation of "Invocation" is successful, but the effect is negated by "D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried" and the Fusion Summon is not performed. (No Fusion Material monsters are sent to the GY or banished.)[7]
  • Q: "Ryu Okami" is face-up on my opponent’s field, and "Magical Meltdown" is face-up in my Field Zone. In this situation, I activate "Super Polymerization" and use Fusion Materials from my side of the field only. Afterward, will the effect of my opponent’s "Ryu Okami" that sends a card from my Extra Deck to the GY activate?
A: The effect of "Magical Meltdown" prevents the activations of your cards and effects that perform Fusion Summons from being negated, and prevents your opponent from activating their cards and effects in response to a Fusion Summon. In this scenario, if you activated "Super Polymerization" as Chain Link 1, the effect of "Ryu Okami" will not activate afterward. Note that if "Super Polymerization" was activated as Chain Link 2 or higher, the Fusion Summon will be performed before other effects in the Chain resolve, and afterward the effect of "Ryu Okami" will activate.[8]
A: The effect of "Predaplant Verte Anaconda" is not treated as an effect that performs a Fusion Summon, so the effect of "Magical Meltdown" will not be applied. (It does not matter whether or not you sent a Spell that has a Fusion Summoning effect, such as "Polymerization".)[9][10]
