Q&A Rulings
- Q: When I attempt to Special Summon "The Ascended of Thunder" by its own effect, my opponent activates "Solemn Judgment", negates the Summon, and destroys it. In this case, will the effect of "The Ascended of Thunder" that increases my LP by 5000 activate?

Afterward, if "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" is activated and banishes it until the End Phase, and "The Ascended of Thunder" is then destroyed by battle or my opponent's card effect, will the effect that increases my LP by 5000 activate?
