Q&A Rulings
- Q: I activated the first effect of "Salamangreat Almiraj" and applied it to a face-up "Salamangreat Beat Bison" on my field. Afterward, if "Book of Moon" is activated and that "Salamangreat Beat Bison" is changed to face-down Defense Position, what happens?
- A: In this scenario, if the effect of "Salamangreat Almiraj" was applied to a face-up monster, and then afterward that monster is changed to face-down Defense Position, the effect is no longer applied. (That monster can be destroyed by your opponent's card effects normally.)[2]
