Q&A Rulings
- Q: I activate "F.A. Overheat" and Special Summon "F.A. Whip Crosser" from my hand. At this time, can I activate the effect of "F.A. Whip Crosser" that increases its Level by 1?
- A: The effect of "F.A. Whip Crosser" that increases its Level can be activated after an “F.A.” Spell/Trap Card or the effect of an “F.A.” Spell/Trap Card is activated, and if "F.A. Whip Crosser" is not face-up in the Monster Zone when the activation is done, the activation requirements for its own effect have not been fulfilled. In this scenario, the effect of "F.A. Whip Crosser" Special Summoned by the effect of "F.A. Overheat" cannot be activated. (If an “F.A.” Spell/Trap Card or its effect is activated after that, the effect to increase the Level of "F.A. Whip Crosser" can then be activated.)[2]
- Q: An "F.A. Whip Crosser" whose Level is 7 or higher is face-up in my opponent’s Monster Zone, and its effect that prevents me from activating cards or effects by discarding or sending cards from my hand to the Graveyard is applying. In this situation, can I activate "Void Feast"?
- A: While the effect of your opponent’s Level 7 or higher "F.A. Whip Crosser" is applying, you cannot activate any cards or effects by discarding or sending cards from your hand to the Graveyard as the cost. In this scenario, you can activate Void Feast by sending a face-up “Void” Spell/Trap Card from your field to the Graveyard, but you cannot activate it by sending a “Void” Spell/Trap Card from your hand to the Graveyard.[3]
