Q&A Rulings

A: When you pay LP to activate a card or effect, you can activate the effect of "Masterking Archfiend". (However, the effect cannot be activated during the Damage Step.) In this scenario, the effect is activated in a new Chain after the one that "Solemn Warning" was in resolves, and you send a Fiend monster with 2000 ATK or DEF from your Deck to the Graveyard.[1]
  • Q: My "Masterking Archfiend" is in an Extra Monster Zone, and it is my Standby Phase. If I pay 500 LP for the maintenance cost of "Masterking Archfiend", can I then activate its effect that sends a Fiend monster from my Deck to the Graveyard?
A: You can activate the effect of "Masterking Archfiend" even when you pay LP for its maintenance cost. In that case, since you paid 500 LP, you send a Fiend monster with 500 ATK or DEF from your Deck to the Graveyard.[2]
A: In this scenario, the effect of "Masterking Archfiend" can be activated after resolving the Chain in which you activated both "Solemn Warning" and "Solemn Judgment" by paying LP. In this case, although you paid LP twice, the effect of "Masterking Archfiend" can only be activated once per Chain, and you must choose whether you are activating it as a result of paying LP for "Solemn Warning" or for "Solemn Judgment". If you activated it for "Solemn Warning", you send a Fiend monster with 2000 ATK or DEF from your Deck to the Graveyard. If you activated it for "Solemn Judgment", you send a Fiend monster with 3000 ATK or DEF from your Deck to the Graveyard.[3]
A: "Dark Ruler Ha Des" is a Fiend monster, so when it is sent to your GY, you can activate the die roll effect of "Masterking Archfiend". "Dark Ruler Ha Des" cannot be Special Summoned from the GY, so if the die roll result is 1 through 5, the effect resolves normally, but if the result is 6, "Dark Ruler Ha Des" is not Special Summoned and remains in the GY.[4]
  • Q: When a Fiend Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monster in my Monster Zone is sent to my GY, can I activate the die roll effect of "Masterking Archfiend"?
A: Even if a Fiend Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monster is sent to your GY, you can activate the die roll effect of "Masterking Archfiend". If the die roll result makes the "● 1" or "● 2-5" effects apply, that Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link Monster returns to the Extra Deck. If the "● 6" effect applies, that monster is Special Summoned from the GY. If that monster is one that cannot be Special Summoned from the GY, it remains in the GY.[5]
