Q&A Rulings

• Q: If the monster targeted by the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" is flipped face-down, is the effect still applied?

A: If "Book of Moon" is activated in a Chain to the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon", so that the target monster of the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" has been flipped face-down when the effect resolves, the "once during this turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects." effect is still applied. Also, if a monster was targeted by the "once during this turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects." effect and afterwards it is flipped face-down by the effect of "Book of Moon", the "once during this turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects." effect is no longer applied.

• Q: For how long is the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" that prevents the targeted card from being destroyed once this turn applied?

A: Even if the targeted card affected by the "once during this turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects." effect is not destroyed by battle or by card effect this turn, the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" is applied until the end of that turn.

• Q: If the effect of "Skill Drain" is applied after the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" is applied, what happens?

A: If the effect of "Skill Drain" is applied after the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" is applied, the "once during this turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects." effect that was already applied is not negated, and the effect is applied as usual.

• Q: If the control of a monster targeted by the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" switches to the opponent when that effect resolves, is the effect still applied?

A: If the control of a monster targeted by the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" switches to the opponent when that effect resolves, the "once during this turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects." effect is still applied.

• Q: I activated the effect of "Megaroid City", targeting a face-up card on my field. If I chain the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" and target the same face-up card on my field, how does the effect of "Megaroid City" resolve?

A: In this scenario, due to the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" that was chained to "Megaroid City", the targeted face-up card is not destroyed. In that case, the part of the effect that adds a "roid" card from your Deck to your hand is not applied.

• Q: "Stardust Spark Dragon" and "Dragunity Dux" are face-up on my field, and a "Dragunity Phalanx" is equipped to "Dragunity Dux". During this turn, the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" was activated by targeting the equipped "Dragunity Phalanx", so that it is not destroyed by battle or card effects once this turn. Afterward, if "Dragunity Phalanx" is Special Summoned from the Spell & Trap Zone by its own effect, will the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" still be applied?

A: If the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" is applied to a "Dragunity Phalanx" treated as an Equip Card, and afterward that "Dragunity Phalanx" is Special Summoned to the Monster Zone, the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" will no longer apply.

• Q: My opponent activated the effect of their "Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora" this turn, targeting their "Stardust Spark Dragon". In this situation, if I Synchro Summon a "Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity" and activate its effect, can the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" be activated this turn?

A: If the effect of "Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity" is applied, your opponent cannot activate the effects of monsters on the field. In this scenario, even if the effect of "Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora" was already applied, the effect of "Stardust Spark Dragon" cannot be activated.
