Card Rulings:Formula Synchron
TCG Rulings
- The effect to draw 1 card starts a Chain.[1]
- The effect to Synchro Summon during your opponent’s Main Phase is a Quick Effect.[1]
- You cannot activate the effect to Synchro Summon multiple times in the same Chain.[1]
- You can activate the effect to Synchro Summon during your opponent’s Main Phase 1 or 2. Using it when your opponent wants to end Main Phase 1 does not force them to continue into their Battle Phase.[1]
- You send the Synchro Material Monsters to the Graveyard when you resolve the effect to Synchro Summon.[1][Notes 1]
- You must Synchro Summon when the effect resolves, if possible, using Formula Synchron and the faceup monsters are [sic] available to you. If you cannot, your opponent can verify that you have no monsters in your Extra Deck that can be Summoned.[1][Notes 1]
Judge Program Forum Rulings
These Ruling(s) have not been confirmed as applicable to the TCG.[Notes 2] |
- If a Synchro Monster with an Optional Trigger Effect like "Black Rose Dragon" or "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" is Synchro Summoned in the middle of a Chain by an effect like "Formula Synchron" (as Chain Link 2 or higher), then the effects of "Black Rose Dragon" or "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" will miss the timing.[2]
OCG Rulings
- When Synchro Summoning through the effect of "Formula Synchron", you can use "Solemn Judgment" to negate the Synchro Summon. However, if the effect of "Formula Synchron" is activated at Chain Link 2+, then the Synchro Summon is performed in the middle of resolving a Chain; you cannot interrupt the Chain by activating "Solemn Judgment".[3]
- You cannot activate the effect to Synchro Summon multiple times in the same Chain.[4]
- Example: You activate the effect of "Formula Synchron", and your opponent Chains "Raigeki Break". You cannot activate the effect of that "Formula Synchron" again in Chain to "Raigeki Break".[4]
- When Synchro Summoning through the effect of "Formula Synchron", "Royal Oppression" can be activated when performing the Synchro Summon, after the Synchro Material Monsters are sent to the Graveyard. In addition, you can also Chain the effect of "Royal Oppression" to the effect of "Formula Synchron" to negate the effect which Synchro Summons.[5]
