- Q: If the monster effect of "D/D Savant Nikola" "if this card in the Pendulum Zone is destroyed: You can target 1 "D/D/D" monster you control; return it to the hand, and if you do, place up to 2 face-up "D/D" Pendulum Monsters from your Extra Deck in your Pendulum Zones, but they cannot activate their Pendulum Effects this turn" is activated, is it possible to target a Fusion / Synchro / Xyz "DDD" monster such as "D/D/D Dragonbane King Beowulf"?
- A: You may target a Fusion / Synchro / Xyz "DDD" monster with the monster effect of "D/D Savant Nikola". In that case, since the target monster is returned to the Extra Deck, not its owner's hand, "place up to 2 face-up "D/D" Pendulum Monsters from your Extra Deck in your Pendulum Zones" is not applied.[1]
