Card Rulings:Xyz Encore
OCG Rulings
- This card cannot be activated during the Damage Step.[1]
- If no Monster Cards are detached from the targeted Xyz Monster, "detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is considered the last thing to happen when the card resolves.[1]
- If a Monster Card is detached from the targeted Xyz Monster, "Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position." is considered the last thing to happen when the card resolves. ("detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is not considered the last thing to happen when the card resolves.)[1]
- "Xyz Encore" can be activated even if the effect of "Vanity's Emptiness" is being applied. (If the targeted Xyz Monster has Monster Cards as Xyz Materials, only "detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is applied.)[2]
- If "Xyz Encore" targets a "Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer" that have "Photon Thrasher" and "Denko Sekka" as Xyz Materials, "detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is applied, and since a Monster Card was detached, "Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position." is also applied. In this case, "Denko Sekka" cannot be Special Summoned, but "Photon Thrasher" is Special Summoned normally.[3]
- If "Xyz Encore" targets an Xyz Monster whose only Xyz Material is "The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil", "detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is applied, but since "The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil" is not a Monster Card, "Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position." is not applied. ("detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is considered the last thing to happen when the card resolves.)[4]
- This card can be activated while the effect of "Macro Cosmos" is being applied. "detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is applied, but since the Xyz Materials are banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard, "Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position." is not applied. ("detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is considered the last thing to happen when the card resolves.)[5]
- This card can be activated while the effect of "Necrovalley" is being applied. "detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is applied, but "Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position." is negated by "Necrovalley" and is not applied.[6]
- The resolution of this card's "detach all Xyz Materials from it" is not treated as an effect that affects monsters. (Therefore, Number 86: Heroic Champion - Rhongomyniad's Xyz Materials are all detached.) Following that, Number 86: Heroic Champion - Rhongomyniad with all of its Xyz Materials detached will remain with none of its effects, so the resolution of "return it to the Extra Deck" and the resolution of "Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position." are applied as usual.[7]
