Q&A Rulings
- Q: When my "Squirt Squid" is targeted for an attack by my opponent's "Deepsea Shark", I activate the effect of "Squirt Squid". If I then chain "Magic Cylinder", how does the effect of "Squirt Squid" resolve?
- A: Even if the opponent's monster's attack is negated before the effect of "Squirt Squid" resolves, the effect is applied normally. In this scenario, the "Squid Ink Token"'s ATK will be the same as the ATK of the opponent's "Deepsea Shark" (1900 ATK).[2]
- Q: When my "Squirt Squid" is targeted for an attack by my opponent's "Sky Striker Ace - Raye", I activate the effect of "Squirt Squid". If my opponent chains the effect of "Sky Striker Ace - Raye", how does the effect of "Squirt Squid" resolve?
- A: In this scenario, if the attacking monster is no longer on the field when resolving the effect of "Squirt Squid", both parts of the effect are applied, but the "Squid Ink Token"'s ATK will be 0.[3]
- Q: My "Squirt Squid" is face-up in either my leftmost or rightmost Main Monster Zone. In this situation, if a "Paladin of Felgrand" is equipped with an Equip Card and unaffected by other monsters' effects, can it target "Squirt Squid" for its attack?
- A: In this scenario, "Paladin of Felgrand" is unaffected by the effect of "Squirt Squid" that prevents monsters from targeting it for an attack, so it can choose "Squirt Squid" as its attack target.[4]
