Q&A Rulings
- Q: "Performapal Seal Eel" and "Performapal Chain Giraffe" are both Pendulum Summoned at the same time. In this case, can the monster effects of "Performapal Seal Eel" and "Performapal Chain Giraffe" each be activated?
- A: In this scenario, if "Performapal Seal Eel" and Performapal Chain Giraffe are both Pendulum Summoned at the same time, you can activate their respective effects. In that case, you can form the Chain in any order, but if you activate the effect of "Performapal Seal Eel" as Chain Link 1, you will not be able to activate any cards or effects in response and so will not be able to activate the effect of "Performapal Chain Giraffe". If the effect of "Performapal Chain Giraffe" is Chain Link 1, you can then activate the effect of "Performapal Seal Eel" as Chain Link 2.[1]
- Q: I activate the Pendulum Effect of "Performapal Seal Eel", targeting a "Performage Hat Tricker" on my opponent's field. If my opponent chains "Book of Moon", and changes "Performage Hat Tricker" to face-down Defense Position, will the Pendulum Effect of "Performapal Seal Eel" be applied?
- A: When resolving the Pendulum Effect of "Performapal Seal Eel", if the targeted monster has been changed to face-down Defense Position, its effects are not negated.[2]
- Q: I activated the monster effect of "Performapal Seal Eel" this turn, targeting a Set card in my opponent's Spell & Trap Zone. Afterward, if I activate "Harpie's Feather Duster", and the targeted card that is destroyed is "Magician's Protection", can the effect of "Magician's Protection" that Special Summons a Spellcaster-Type monster from the Graveyard be activated?
- A: The Set Spell/Trap Card targeted with the effect of "Performapal Seal Eel" cannot be activated that turn. However, in this scenario, the effect of a "Magician's Protection" that was targeted by the effect of "Performapal Seal Eel" can be activated normally when it is sent to the Graveyard.[3]
- Q: I activated the monster effect of "Performapal Seal Eel" this turn, targeting a Set card in my opponent's Spell & Trap Zone. Afterward, if "Skill Drain" is activated and the effects of "Performapal Seal Eel" are negated, can that Set card be activated this turn?
- A: In this scenario, if "Skill Drain" is activated during the turn the effect of "Performapal Seal Eel" was activated, so that the effects of "Performapal Seal Eel" are negated, the effect that was already resolved will continue to apply. Therefore, in this scenario, the targeted Set card still cannot be activated.[4]
- Q: My opponent Special Summoned "Performapal Seal Eel" this turn and activated its effect, targeting my Set "Bottomless Trap Hole". During this turn, if my opponent Tributes "Performapal Seal Eel" for a Tribute Summon, what happens to its effect?
- A: In this scenario, even if "Performapal Seal Eel" leaves the field, its effect continues to apply. Therefore, in this scenario, even if the monster that is Tribute Summoned by Tributing "Performapal Seal Eel" has 1500 or more ATK, your Set "Bottomless Trap Hole" cannot be activated.[5]
