Q&A Rulings
- Q: My "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" is in an Extra Monster Zone. In this situation, if my opponent activates "Instant Fusion" and Special Summons a "Thousand-Eyes Restrict", can I activate the effect of "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" that adds "Invocation" or "The Book of the Law" from my Deck to my hand?
- A: The effect of "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" that adds "Invocation" or "The Book of the Law" from your Deck to your hand can be activated even if a Fusion Monster is Special Summoned by an effect treated as a Fusion Summon, such as "Instant Fusion".[1]
- Q: My "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" is in an Extra Monster Zone. In this situation, I Special Summon "ABC-Dragon Buster" from the Extra Deck by its own procedure. At this time, can I activate the effect of "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" that adds "Invocation" or "The Book of the Law" from my Deck to my hand?
- A: "ABC-Dragon Buster" is a Fusion Monster, but Special Summoning it using its own procedure is not a Fusion Summon. Therefore, in this scenario, you cannot activate the effect of "Aleister the Invoker of Madness".[2]
- Q: When my opponent activates "Flash Fusion", I chain "Call of the Haunted" and Special Summon an "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" from my Graveyard. Afterward, can I activate the effect of "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" that adds "Invocation" or "The Book of the Law" from my Deck to my hand?
- A: The effect of "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" that adds "Invocation" or "The Book of the Law" from your Deck to your hand can be activated when a Fusion Monster is Special Summoned while "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" is face-up on the field. Therefore, if "Call of the Haunted" is chained to "Flash Fusion" and "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" is Special Summoned, its effect can be activated, but if "Flash Fusion" is chained to a "Call of the Haunted" that targeted "Aleister the Invoker of Madness", the effect cannot be activated afterward.[3]
- Q: When I Fusion Summon an "Invoked Mechaba" while my "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" is in the Extra Monster Zone, I activate the effect of "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" that adds "Invocation" or "The Book of the Law" from my Deck to my hand. If I chain the effect of "D.D. Crow" by discarding it, so that I have no cards in my hand, how does the effect of "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" resolve?
- A: In this scenario, if you have no cards in your hand when the effect of "Aleister the Invoker of Madness" resolves, you cannot discard a card with that effect, so you also do not add "Invocation" or "The Book of the Law" from your Deck to your hand.[4]
