Card Rulings:Psi-Reflector
OCG Rulings
- This card's effect that adds "Assault Mode Activate" or a card with "Assault Mode Activate" listed in its text from your Deck to your hand is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target.)[1]
- This effect can be activated optionally when this card is Normal or Special Summoned face-up. (It can be activated during the Damage Step.)[1]
- This card's effect that Special Summons a monster with "Assault Mode Activate" listed in its text from your GY is an Ignition Effect. (It targets 1 monster in your GY with "Assault Mode Activate" listed in its text, except "Psi-Reflector". Revealing 1 "Assault Mode Activate" in your hand is the cost to activate this effect.)[1]
- This effect finishes resolving by Special Summoning the targeted monster. (You also choose how many Levels to increase it by when resolving this effect.)[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: An "Evilswarm Ophion" with Xyz Material is face-up in my opponent's Monster Zone, and its effect that prevents players from Special Summoning Level 5 or higher monsters is applying. In this situation, can I activate the second effect of "Psi-Reflector", targeting an "Assault Sentinel" in my GY?
- A: The monster Special Summoned by the effect of "Psi-Reflector" will have its Level increased by 1 to 4 when the effect resolves, but even if you target a Level 4 monster such as "Assault Sentinel", it is not treated as the Special Summon of a Level 5 or higher monster. Therefore, even if the effect of "Evilswarm Ophion" is applying, the effect of "Psi-Reflector" is applied normally and "Assault Sentinel"'s Level is increased.[2][3]
