Q&A Rulings
- Q: My opponent activates the effect of "Vision HERO Faris" that Special Summons it from the hand, by discarding a "Vision HERO Vyon" from their hand. In this situation, when can I activate "Consolation Prize"?
- A: If a monster is sent from the hand to the GY as the cost of activating another card effect as in this scenario, "Consolation Prize" cannot be activated by chaining to that card effect. After that activated effect resolves, "Consolation Prize" can be activated in a new Chain. Therefore, in this situation, when your opponent activates the second effect of "Vision HERO Faris" that places a "Vision HERO" monster from their Deck face-up in their Spell & Trap Zone, you can chain "Consolation Prize". (If your opponent does not activate the second effect of "Vision HERO Faris", you can activate "Consolation Prize" as Chain Link 1.)[2][3]
