- This effect is applied to those monsters for as long as they remain face-up on the field.[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: I activate "Revendread Evolution", and Ritual Summon a "Vendread Chimera" by sending another copy of "Vendread Chimera" from my Deck to the Graveyard. In this case, will the effect of the "Vendread Chimera" that was sent from the Deck to the Graveyard activate?
- A: In this scenario, a monster sent from the Deck to the Graveyard by the effect of "Revendread Evolution" is not treated as being Tributed, so the effect of the sent "Vendread Chimera" will not activate.[2]
- Q: "Macro Cosmos" is face-up in my opponent’s Spell & Trap Zone, and its effect that banishes any card that would be sent to the Graveyard is applying. In this situation, I activate "Revendread Evolution", and Ritual Summon a "Vendread Chimera" by sending another copy of "Vendread Chimera" from my Deck to the Graveyard. In this case, will the effect of the "Vendread Chimera" that was banished from the Deck instead of being sent to the Graveyard activate?
- A: In this scenario, if a "Vendread Chimera" that would be sent from the Deck to the Graveyard by the effect of "Revendread Evolution" is banished instead due to the effect of "Macro Cosmos", it is not treated as being banished for a Ritual Summon, so the effect of that banished "Vendread Chimera" will not activate.[3]
