Q&A Rulings
- Q: "Beatraptor" is face-up in my opponent's Main Monster Zone, and its effect that negates the effects of monsters in the Extra Monster Zone is applying. In this situation, when that opponent's "Beatraptor" declares an attack on my "Linkuriboh" in the Extra Monster Zone, can I activate the effect of "Linkuriboh"?
- A: In this scenario, you can activate the effect of "Linkuriboh". In that case, since "Linkuriboh" is Tributed to activate its effect, it is no longer in the Extra Monster Zone, its effect is not negated, and the ATK of "Beatraptor" becomes 0 until the end of this turn.[2][3]
- Q: "Beatraptor" is face-up in my opponent's Main Monster Zone, and its effect that negates the effects of monsters in the Extra Monster Zone is applying. In this situation, I Synchro Summon a "Hi-Speedroid Kitedrake" and activate its effect that destroys all other cards on the field. If I chain "Book of Moon" and change "Hi-Speedroid Kitedrake" to face-down Defense Position, how does its effect resolve?
- A: In this scenario, "Hi-Speedroid Kitedrake" is in face-down Defense Position when its effect resolves due to the effect of "Book of Moon", but it is still in the Extra Monster Zone, so its effect is negated by the effect of "Beatraptor".[4][3]
