- Q: A Borreload Savage Dragon equipped with Autorokket Dragon due to the effect of "DMZ Dragon" is face-up in my Monster Zone. If my opponent activates Imperial Order, and then Borreload Savage Dragon attacks, can I activate the second effect of "DMZ Dragon" at the end of the Damage Step?
- A: In this scenario, even if the effects of Equip Spell Cards are negated by the effect of Imperial Order, you can activate the second effect of "DMZ Dragon" at the end of the Damage Step.[2]
- Q: A "Borrelsword Dragon" equipped with "Anesthrokket Dragon" due to the effect of "DMZ Dragon" is face-up in my Monster Zone. During this turn, if that "Borrelsword Dragon" attacks a second time using its own effect, can I activate the second effect of "DMZ Dragon" at the end of the Damage Step?
