Q&A Rulings

A: In this case, the effect of "Thought Ruler Archfiend" is not activated.[2]
A: The effect of "Thought Ruler Archfiend" can be activated when a Spell/Trap Card is activated that targets only 1 Psychic monster.
The effect of "Icarus Attack" targets 2 cards on the field, and even if it is activated by targeting 1 Psychic monster and 1 Spell/Trap Card, it is not considered as being activated by targeting only 1 Psychic monster.
Therefore, the effect of "Thought Ruler Archfiend" cannot be activated in Chain to the activation of "Icarus Attack".[3]
