- When resolving the effect of "Level Eater", if "Level Eater" cannot Special Summon itself - such as if an effect like "D.D. Crow" is chained and removes "Level Eater" from the Graveyard - then the monster's Level is still decreased by one, even though "Level Eater" is not Special Summoned.
8973: Can the effect of "Reptilianne Medusa" target a monster with 0 ATK?
- You cannot activate the effect of "Reptilianne Medusa" and target a monster with 0 ATK.
8974: The effect of "Reptilianne Scylla" can be activated at what time?
- The effect of "Reptilianne Scylla" can only be activated if the destroyed monster had 0 ATK during Damage Calculation.
- Example #1: If the monster had 0 Original ATK but had its ATK increased by a Field Spell Card, then its ATK was not 0 during Damage Calculation, so it cannot be Special Summoned by the effect of "Reptilianne Scylla".
- Example #2: If a monster had 500 Original ATK and was equipped with "Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce" so that it had 0 ATK, then its ATK was 0 during Damage Calculation, so it can be Special Summoned by the effect of "Reptilianne Scylla" even though it has 500 ATK while in the Graveyard.
- The effect of "Reptilianne Gorgon" which makes the monster's ATK 0 and makes it unable to change its Battle Position lasts as long as the monster remains face-up on the field.
8976: If a monster affected by "Reptilianne Gorgon" is affected by "Shrink", then what will its ATK be?
- After the effect of "Reptilianne Gorgon" makes the ATK of a monster become 0, if the monster is affected by "Shrink", then the ATK of the monster becomes half of its Original ATK.
- Example: If "Reptilianne Gorgon" battles "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and makes its ATK 0, then the ATK of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" will be 1500 (half its Original ATK) when it is affected by "Shrink".
- If the activation of the effect "During each of your Standby Phases, increase the Level of this card by 1 (max 12)." of monsters like "Fortune Lady Light" is negated by the effect of "Light and Darkness Dragon", then the effect of "Fortune Lady Light" will activate again during the same Standby Phase.
- After a monster like "Fortune Lady Earth" increases its own Level by its effect, if its Level is negated by an effect like "Skill Drain" or "Forbidden Chalice", then the Level of "Fortune Lady Earth" returns to the original Level that is printed on the card.
8979: Can a face-down "Level Eater" be Tributed for a purpose other than a Tribute Summon?
- The text "This card cannot be Tributed, except for a Tribute Summon." of "Level Eater" is an effect which is only applied as long as "Level Eater" remains face-up on the field. A face-down "Level Eater" may be Tributed for a purpose other than a Tribute Summon.
8X
- Suppose you control "Fortune Lady Fire" and "Fortune Lady Light". If you activate "Magical Dimension" and Tribute "Fortune Lady Fire" to Special Summon "Fortune Lady Water" and then destroy "Fortune Lady Light", then afterwards only the effect of "Fortune Lady Light" will activate. The effect of "Fortune Lady Water" will not activate because you do not control "Fortune Lady Light" when the effect activates, even though you controlled "Fortune Lady Light" when "Fortune Lady Water" was Special Summoned.
- If a monster has its ATK increased by an Equip Spell Card and then it battles with "Reptilianne Gorgon", then its ATK will be 0, including the increase from the Equip Spell Card. If a monster's ATK is 0 because it battled with "Reptilianne Gorgon" and then it is equipped with an Equip Spell Card, then the monster's ATK in increased from 0.
- If an effect like "Book of Moon" or "Compulsory Evacuation Device" is Chained to the effect of "Fortune Lady Water" so that there are no other face-up "Fortune Lady" monsters on your side of the field when resolving the effect of "Fortune Lady Water", then you can still draw cards from your Deck.
- If the Level of a monster like "Fortune Lady Earth" is already 12, then its effect to increase its Level does not activate during the Standby Phase.
- The Level of a monster like "Fortune Lady Earth" can be increased beyond 12 by other effects, such as "Synchro Boost".
- If "Level Eater" lowered the Level of "Tragoedia", then when "Tragoedia" changes its Level through its own effect, then the Level of "Tragoedia" becomes the same as the Level of the sent monster. The effect of "Level Eater" is no longer applied and the Level of "Tragoedia" is no longer decreased by one, even after the effect of "Tragoedia" disappears.
- While "Fortune Lady Dark" is on the field, if a "Fortune Lady" monster destroys a monster by battle but it is not on the field when the effect of "Fortune Lady Dark" would activate, then the effect of "Fortune Lady Dark" does not activate. Thus, if a "Fortune Lady" monster battles with a monster with equal ATK and both monsters are destroyed by battle, then you cannot activate the effect of "Fortune Lady Dark".
8986: The effect of "Level Eater" which decreases the monster's Level is applied for how long?
- After "Level Eater" decreases a monster's Level by one, the Level 5+ monster's Level remains decreased as long as the monster remains face-up on the field.
- Monsters like "Fortune Lady Earth" do not have a defined ATK, so cards like "Magician's Circle" and "Limit Reverse" may not Special Summon them from the Deck or hand.
- When "Fortune Lady Wind" is Normal Summoned, if there are fewer Spell/Trap Cards on the field than "Fortune Lady" monsters you control, then you cannot activate the effect of "Fortune Lady Wind". This is because "Fortune Lady Wind" must destroy a number of Spell/Trap Cards equal to the number of "Fortune Lady" monsters you control.
- "Fortune Lady Wind" counts itself as a "Fortune Lady" monster on the field for its effect.
- For the effect "● You can remove from play this card and 1 face-up monster you control and draw 2 cards." of "Cyber Valley", you draw the cards after removing from play the monsters; the two do not occur simultaneously. Thus, if "Fortune Lady Light" is removed from play by the effect of "Cyber Valley", then afterwards you draw cards, so you miss the timing and cannot activate the effect of "Fortune Lady Light".
9X
8989: Is "Quickdraw Synchron" a Special Summon monster?
