Q&A Rulings
- Q: If I do not have an "F.A. Pit Stop" in my Graveyard, what happens when I activate "F.A. Pit Stop" and target my "F.A. Whip Crosser"?
- A: If "F.A. Pit Stop" resolves while you have no copies of "F.A. Pit Stop" in your Graveyard, the part of the effect that reduces the targeted monster’s Level by 2 ("F.A. Whip Crosser" in this scenario) is applied. Next, when drawing cards, since there are 0 copies of "F.A. Pit Stop" in your Graveyard, you draw 1 card.[2]
