Q&A Rulings

• Q: Is the effect of "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" that sends a monster(s) to the Graveyard when it is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck an effect that negates the Special Summon?

A: The effect of "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" that sends monsters to the Graveyard when they are Special Summoned from the Extra Deck is not one that negates the Special Summon. The effect is activated in response to the successful Special Summon, and sends the Summoned monsters to the Graveyard. If a monster sent to the Graveyard by the effect of "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" was (for example) a Link Monster that was Link Summoned, it was sent to the Graveyard after being properly Special Summoned, so it can be Special Summoned with "Monster Reborn", etc.

• Q: "Macro Cosmos" is face-up on my opponent's field, and its effect that banishes any card that would be sent to the Graveyard is applying. In this situation, when "Gaia Saber, the Lightning Shadow" is Link Summoned, can I activate the effect of "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" that sends monsters to the Graveyard when they are Special Summoned from the Extra Deck?

A: Even if the effect of "Macro Cosmos" is applying, you can activate the effect of "World Legacy - "World Chalice"". Both "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" itself, when Tributed to activate its effect, and the monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck (in this case, "Gaia Saber, the Lightning Shadow") are banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard.

• Q: "Decode Talker" is face-up in my Extra Monster Zone. In this situation, I activate 2 copies of "Pendulum Reborn" in the same Chain, and Special Summon a face-up "Guiding Ariadne" and "Archfiend Eccentrick" from my Extra Deck. At this time, if my opponent activates the effect of their "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" that sends monsters to the Graveyard when they are Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, what happens?

A: In this scenario, the effect of "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" is applied to both Guiding Ariadne and Archfiend Eccentrick. (However, since both "Guiding Ariadne" and "Archfiend Eccentrick" are Pendulum Monsters, they are added face-up to the Extra Deck instead of sent to the Graveyard.)

• Q: I activate "Invocation", and Fusion Summon an "Invoked Raidjin". At this time, if my opponent activates the effect of their "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" that sends monsters to the Graveyard when they are Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, but I chain the effect of "Invoked Raidjin" and change it to face-down Defense Position, what happens?

A: In this scenario, if "Invoked Raidjin" was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck but is face-down when the effect of "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" resolves, the effect is applied normally and the face-down "Invoked Raidjin" is sent to the Graveyard.

• Q: I Normal Set a "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" in face-down Defense Position. Thereafter, when "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" leaves the field after being flipped face-up, can I activate its effect that Special Summons 2 "World Chalice" monsters from my Deck?

A: As in this scenario, even if "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" was originally Normal Set and then leaves the field after being flipped face-up, you can activate its effect that Special Summons 2 "World Chalice" monsters from your Deck.

• Q: I Normal Summon a "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" face-up. In this situation, if my opponent activates "Phoenix Wing Wind Blast" and returns "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" to the top of the Deck, can I activate its effect that Special Summons 2 "World Chalice" monsters from my Deck?

A: As in this scenario, if a Normal Summoned "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" is returned to the Deck, its effect that Special Summons 2 "World Chalice" monsters from your Deck cannot be activated.

• Q: I Normal Summon a "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" face-up. In this situation, if "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" is banished face-down by the effect of "Transmission Gear", can I activate its effect that Special Summons 2 "World Chalice" monsters from my Deck?

A: As in this scenario, if a Normal Summoned "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" is banished face-down, its effect that Special Summons 2 "World Chalice" monsters from your Deck cannot be activated.

• Q: A Normal Summoned "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" is face-up on my field, but its effects are negated by the effect of "Effect Veiler". In this situation, if "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" leaves the field, can I activate its effect that Special Summons 2 "World Chalice" monsters from my Deck?

A: Even if "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" leaves the field while its effects are being negated, you can activate its effect that Special Summons 2 "World Chalice" monsters from your Deck.

• Q: "Auram the World Chalice Blademaster" and a "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" that was Normal Summoned are both face-up in my Main Monster Zones. In this situation, when "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" leaves the field and I activate its effect that Special Summoned 2 "World Chalice" monsters from my Deck, what happens if my opponent chains "Ojama Trio"?

A: In this scenario, since 3 "Ojama Tokens" are Special Summoned by the effect of "Ojama Trio", you will only have 1 available Main Monster Zone when resolving the effect of "World Legacy - "World Chalice"". In that case, the effect of "World Legacy - "World Chalice"" is not applied. (No monsters are Special Summoned from the Deck.)
