Q&A Rulings

• Q: Can I add "Revendread Slayer" and "Revendread Origin" from my Deck to my hand with the effect of "Pre-Preparation of Rites"?

A: "Revendread Origin" is a Ritual Spell Card that includes the name of the Ritual Monster, "Revendread Slayer", in its second effect. Therefore, you can add "Revendread Origin" and "Revendread Slayer" from your Deck to your hand with the effect of "Pre-Preparation of Rites".

• Q: I activated "Revendread Origin" and Ritual Summoned a "Revendread Slayer", by Tributing 2 copies of "Vendread Revenants" on my field. In this case, does "Revendread Slayer" gain the effect that banishes a Special Summoned monster on my opponent's field from both copies of "Vendread Revenants"?

A: The effect of "Vendread Revenants" that grants an effect to a "Vendread" Ritual Monster can only be used once per turn. As in this scenario, even if you Tribute 2 copies of "Vendread Revenants" on your field to Ritual Summon "Revendread Slayer", the effect that banishes a Special Summoned monster on your opponent's field is only gained once.

• Q: A "Revendread Slayer" that was Ritual Summoned using a "Vendread Revenants" on the field is face-up on my field. In this situation, if I Ritual Summon a second copy of "Revendread Slayer" using another "Vendread Revenants" on the field, can both copies of "Revendread Slayer" activate the effect that banishes an opponent's Special Summoned monster during the same turn?

A: The effect of "Vendread Revenants" that grants an effect to a "Vendread" Ritual Monster can only be used once per turn, meaning that if you use 2 copies of "Vendread Revenants" for 2 different Ritual Summons during the same turn, only the first Ritual Summoned monster will gain that effect. However, if 2 copies of "Vendread Revenants" are used for 2 different Ritual Summons during different turns, each "Revendread Slayer" will gain the effect, and each copy can activate their gained effect during the same turn.

• Q: I activated "Revendread Origin" and Ritual Summoned a "Revendread Slayer", by Tributing a "Vendread Revenants" and "Vendread Houndhorde" on my field. In this case, does "Revendread Slayer" gain the effect that banishes a Special Summoned monster on my opponent's field, and the effect that banishes a Spell/Trap Card from my opponent's field, from "Vendread Revenants" and "Vendread Houndhorde" respectively?

A: If "Revendread Slayer" is Ritual Summoned using both "Vendread Revenants" and "Vendread Houndhorde" on your field, it gains the effects from both monsters.

• Q: A "Revendread Slayer" that was Ritual Summoned using a "Vendread Houndhorde" on the field is face-up on my field. If that Ritual Summoned "Revendread Slayer" is changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of "Book of Moon", what happens to the effect it gained from "Vendread Houndhorde"?

A: If a "Revendread Slayer" that was Ritual Summoned using a "Vendread Houndhorde" on the field is changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of "Book of Moon", it will no longer have the gained effect that banishes a Spell/Trap Card from your opponent's field. (Even if "Revendread Slayer" is flipped face-up again, it will not regain that effect.)

• Q: A "Revendread Slayer" that was Ritual Summoned is face-up in my Monster Zone. If that "Revendread Slayer" is banished by the effect of "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" until the End Phase, and then destroyed by the effect of my opponent's "Raigeki Break" after it returns to the field, can I activate its effect in the Graveyard?

A: Even if a Ritual Summoned "Revendread Slayer" was banished by the effect of "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" and then returned to the field, it is still treated as a Ritual Summoned monster, so you can activate its effect when it is sent to the Graveyard.

• Q: A "Revendread Slayer" that was Ritual Summoned is face-up in my Monster Zone. If "Book of Moon" is activated and that "Revendread Slayer" is changed to face-down Defense Position, then later sent to the Graveyard, can I activate its effect in the Graveyard?

A: Even if a Ritual Summoned "Revendread Slayer" was changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of Book of Moon, it is still treated as a Ritual Summoned monster, so you can activate its effect when it is sent to the Graveyard.

• Q: When my Ritual Summoned "Revendread Slayer" is destroyed by the effect of my opponent's "Dark Hole", I activate its effect in the Graveyard. At this time, if my opponent chains "Mistake", what happens?

A: In this scenario, the effect of "Revendread Slayer" resolves while the effect of "Mistake" that prevents players from adding cards from the Deck to the hand except by drawing is applying. Since you cannot add a Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand, you also cannot send a "Vendread" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard.
