Q&A Rulings
- Q: My "Underclock Taker" is in the Extra Monster Zone, pointing to a "Dual Assembwurm" in my Main Monster Zone. In this situation, I activate the effect of "Underclock Taker", targeting my "Dual Assembwurm" and an opponent's monster. If my opponent chains "Book of Moon" and changes "Dual Assembwurm" to face-down Defense Position, how does the effect of "Underclock Taker" resolve?
- A: In this scenario, since the monster "Underclock Taker" points to is face-down when its effect resolves, its effect is not applied. (The opponent's targeted monster does not lose ATK.)[1]
- Q: My "Underclock Taker" is in the Extra Monster Zone, pointing to an "Excode Talker" in my Main Monster Zone. In this situation, I activate the effect of "Underclock Taker", targeting my "Excode Talker" and an opponent's monster. If my opponent chains "Compulsory Evacuation Device" and returns "Underclock Taker" to the Extra Deck, how does its effect resolve?
- A: In this scenario, if "Underclock Taker" is no longer on the field when its effect resolves, it is no longer pointing to the targeted monster so its effect is not applied. (The opponent's targeted monster does not lose ATK.)[2]
