Q&A Rulings
- Q: If I activate "Rank-Up-Magic Soul Shave Force" while "Soul Levy" is face-up in my opponent's Spell & Trap Zone, and the effect of "Soul Levy" is applied each time I Special Summon, are the cards sent from the top of my Deck to the GY at the same time?
- A: The effect of "Rank-Up-Magic Soul Shave Force" Special Summons the targeted "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster from your GY, then Special Summons another "Raidraptor" Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck by using the first one as its material. Since you performed 2 Special Summons, the effect of "Soul Levy" is applied twice after "Rank-Up-Magic Soul Shave Force" resolves, and a total of 6 cards are sent from the top of your Deck to the GY. Those 6 cards are all treated as being sent to the GY at the same time.[2]
- Q: If I activate "Advanced Heraldry Art" while "Soul Levy" is face-up in my opponent's Spell & Trap Zone, and the effect of "Soul Levy" is applied each time I Special Summon, are the cards sent from the top of my Deck to the GY at the same time?
- A: The effect of "Advanced Heraldry Art" Special Summons the 2 targeted "Heraldic Beast" monsters from your GY, then finishes resolving. After "Advanced Heraldry Art" resolves, the effect of "Soul Levy" is applied and sends 3 cards from the top of your Deck to the GY. Then, when you perform the Xyz Summon using the 2 Special Summoned monsters as materials, the effect of "Soul Levy" is applied again and sends another 3 cards from the top of your Deck to the GY. In this case, the first set of 3 cards sent to the GY and the second set of 3 cards sent to the GY are not treated as being sent at the same time.[3][4]
