Card Rulings:Super Polymerization
OCG Rulings
- If "Evilswarm Ophion" is applying its effect that prevents Level 5 or higher monsters from being Special Summoned and you only have "Elemental HERO Escuridao" in your Extra Deck, you cannot activate "Super Polymerization". Also, when you control "Petit Dragon" and the opponent controls "Firegrass", "Evilswarm Ophion" and 3 Dragon-Type monsters, if you activate "Super Polymerization", the only monster you can Special Summon is "Darkfire Dragon" using "Petit Dragon" and "Firegrass" as Fusion Materials, and since "Five-Headed Dragon" is higher than Level 5, it cannot be Special Summoned.[1]
- The prevention of "Super Polymerization" means that no card or effect can be chained to its activation. Therefore, when "Super Polymerization" resolves and the Fusion Monster is Special Summoned, "Torrential Tribute" or "Bottomless Trap Hole" can be activated.[2]
- "Solemn Judgment" or "Solemn Warning" cannot be activated in the middle of the resolution of the effect of "Super Polymerization". In addition, because cards or effects cannot be chained to the activation of "Super Polymerization", you cannot chain "Solemn Judgment" or "Solemn Warning to the activation of "Super Polymerization"[3]
Previously Official Rulings
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[4] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- "Super Polymerization" does not target. The Fusion Material Monsters are sent to the Graveyard when "Super Polymerization" resolves.
- "Super Polymerization" prevents effects from being chained, but Continuous Effects are still applied.
- If "Super Polymerization" is activated while "Light and Darkness Dragon" is face-up on the field, "Light and Darkness Dragon's" effect does not activate.
- If "Super Polymerization" is activated while "Spell Absorption" is active, the player who controls "Spell Absorption" gains Life Points.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Chain Material: You can use "Chain Material's" effect when resolving "Super Polymerization", but you can only remove from play cards that you control.
