"Caius the Shadow Monarch":

OCG Rulings

  • This card's effect is a Trigger Effect that activates on the field. (It targets 1 card on the field. It activates mandatorily if "Caius the Shadow Monarch" is Tribute Summoned face-up.)[1]
  • "banish that target" and "inflict 1000 damage to your opponent if it is a DARK monster" happen at the same time.[1]

Q&A Rulings

A: Even if a face-down monster on the field is banished by the effect of "Caius the Shadow Monarch", the banished card is banished face-up. If the banished monster is DARK, your opponent takes 1000 damage.[2]
A: If "Caius the Shadow Monarch" banishes a Monster Token, since the Monster Token disappears when it leaves the field, you do not inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.
If "Caius the Shadow Monarch" banishes a "Zoma the Spirit" that is treated as a monster, since "Zoma the Spirit" is not treated as a DARK monster while it is banished, you do not inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.
If "Caius the Shadow Monarch" banishes a DARK monster equipped to "Relinquished", since the monster is treated as a DARK monster while it is banished, you can inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.[3]
A: In both cases, "Plaguespreader Zombie" is banished successfully. Therefore, the effect of "Caius the Shadow Monarch" inflicts 1000 damage to your opponent and the effect of "Chain Disappearance" banishes all cards with the same name as that card from your opponent's hand and Deck.[4]
A: The effects of "Caius the Shadow Monarch" and "Caius the Mega Monarch" are Trigger Effects that activate mandatorily when they are Tribute Summoned. Therefore, their effects activate and start a Chain Link even if the effect of "Imperial Iron Wall" is being applied. However, since cards cannot be banished due to the effect of "Imperial Iron Wall", you do not target a card, and when the effect of "Caius the Shadow Monarch" or "Caius the Mega Monarch" resolves, its effect is not applied.[5]
