Q&A Rulings

  • Q: If my opponent has 14 cards in their Extra Deck, and I have 18 cards in my Extra Deck including face-up Pendulum Monsters, can I activate the Pendulum Effect of Rain Bozu?
A: The Pendulum Effect of Rain Bozu increases the ATK of a targeted monster by 100 × the difference between the number of cards in each player’s Extra Deck.

  • Q: If a face-down Defense Position Rain Bozu on my field is destroyed by battle or a card effect, can I activate its effect that places it in the Pendulum Zone?
A: Even if a face-down Defense Position Rain Bozu on your field is destroyed by battle or a card effect, you can activate its effect that places it in the Pendulum Zone.[3]
