Q&A Rulings
- Q: I Link Summon "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" while I have 3 cards left in my Deck, and activate its effect that sends a card from my Deck to the GY. At this time, although I will have 2 cards left in my Deck afterward, will its second effect that sends 3 cards from the top of my Deck to the GY activate?
- A: As in this scenario, if a card is sent from your Deck to the GY by an effect and you have less than 3 cards left in your Deck as a result, the effect of "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" that sends 3 cards from your Deck to the GY will activate. In that case, you cannot send 3 cards from the top of your Deck to the GY, so you will send as many as possible. (In this scenario, you send the 2 remaining cards to the GY.)[1]
- Q: I Link Summon "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" and activate its effect that sends a card from my Deck to the GY. If my opponent chains "Enemy Controller" to that effect and takes control of "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion", will its second effect that sends 3 cards from the top of my Deck to the GY activate?
- A: In this scenario, the first effect of "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" resolves after the effect of "Enemy Controller" switches its control to your opponent. In this case, it was not on your field when a card was sent from your Deck to your GY, so its effect that sends 3 cards from the Deck to the GY does not activate.[2]
- Q: When my "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" is destroyed by battle or by my opponent's card effect and sent to the GY, can I activate its effect that adds a card to my hand by targeting that same "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion"?
- A: When "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" is sent to the GY by battle or by your opponent's card effect, you can target it in your GY with its own effect. (In that case, "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" returns to the Extra Deck.)[3]
- Q: If a monster is sent from the Extra Deck to the GY by the effect of "Gale Dogra", will the effect of "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" that sends 3 cards from the top of the Deck to the GY activate?
- A: When a card is sent from the Extra Deck to the GY, the effect of "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" that sends 3 cards from the top of the Deck to the GY does not activate.[4]
- Q: My opponent's "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" attacks my "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" and destroys it by battle. After damage calculation, if the effect of "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" destroys all other monsters on the field and "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" is destroyed by that effect, will the effect of "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" that adds a card from my GY to my hand activate twice?
- A: In this scenario, "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" leaves the field when it is destroyed by the effect of "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" after damage calculation, so you can activate its effect once after that. Since "Curious, the Lightsworn Dominion" is no longer treated as having been destroyed by battle, its effect cannot be activated again.[5]
