Q&A Rulings

• Q: My opponent activates "Armageddon Designator" by banishing a "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit". During the same Duel, if I activate "Forbidden Lance" and make a "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit" on my field unaffected by Spell/Trap effects, can I activate the effect of that face-up Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit?

A: In this scenario, "Armageddon Designator" was activated by banishing "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit", which means neither player can activate cards or effects with the same name as that card. Since the effect of "Armageddon Designator" is not an effect applied to monsters, even if "Forbidden Lance" makes a "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit" on the field unaffected by Trap effects, its effect cannot be activated.
