Q&A Rulings
- Q: If I activate the effect of "Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres" that returns a face-up card on the field to the hand, can I choose a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monster on the field as the card to return?
- A: You can choose a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Monster on the field when resolving the effect of "Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres". In that case, that monster returns to its owner's Extra Deck, not their hand. (You can also choose "Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres" itself.)[1]
- Q: If the only face-up card on the field is a "Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres" in the Extra Monster Zone, can I activate its effect during my opponent's turn that returns a face-up card on the field to the hand?
- A: In this scenario, if "Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres" is the only face-up card on the field, you cannot activate its effect by Tributing it. If there are monsters in your hand that you can Tribute, you can activate the effect by Tributing one of them. (In that case, you must return "Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres".)[2]
- Q: When I activate the effect of "Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres" that returns a face-up card on the field to the hand, "Cosmic Cyclone" is chained to it. In this situation, when resolving the effect of "Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres", can I choose "Cosmic Cyclone" as the face-up card to return to the hand?
- A: A Quick-Play Spell Card is sent to the GY after it is activated, and cannot be chosen as a card to return to the hand. In this scenario, after the effect of "Cosmic Cyclone" resolves, if the only face-up cards on the field are "Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres" and that "Cosmic Cyclone", "Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres" must be chosen as the card to return to the hand.[3]
