Q&A Rulings
- Q: My opponent's "Imduk the World Chalice Dragon" is in the Extra Monster Zone, and my "Chosen by the World Chalice" is in my Main Monster Zone in the same column. If my opponent activates "Mind Control" and targets "Chosen by the World Chalice", can I chain the effect of a "World Chalice Guardragon" to negate the activation and destroy it?
- A: In this scenario, since the "Chosen by the World Chalice" on your field is pointed to your opponent's "Imduk the World Chalice Dragon", "Mind Control" is targeting a monster on your field that is linked. Therefore, you can chain the effect of "World Chalice Guardragon" to negate the activation of "Mind Control", and destroy it.[2]
- Q: My "Auram the World Chalice Blademaster" in the Extra Monster Zone is the only Link Monster on my field. In this situation, if I activate the second effect of "World Chalice Guardragon" by banishing it from my Graveyard and targeting a "Beckoned by the World Chalice" in my Graveyard, but my opponent chains "Compulsory Evacuation Device" and returns "Auram the World Chalice Blademaster" to the Extra Deck, what happens?
- A: In this scenario, since the effect of "Compulsory Evacuation Device" was applied, there is no longer a Link Monster on your field, which means there are no Zones that a Link Monster on your field points to. In this case, the effect of "World Chalice Guardragon" is not applied. (The targeted "Beckoned by the World Chalice" remains in the Graveyard.)[3]
