Q&A Rulings
- Q: While I have "Guardragon Elpy" and "Guardragon Pisty" in my Main Monster Zones with an unused Main Monster Zone between them that they each point to, I activate the effect of "Guardragon Pisty]" and target my banished "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon". If my opponent chains "Compulsory Evacuation Device" and returns "Guardragon Elpy" to the Extra Deck, how does the effect of "Guardragon Pisty]" resolve?
- A: In this scenario, if you do not have an available Main Monster Zone that 2 or more Link Monsters point to when the effect of "Guardragon Pisty" resolves due the effect of a chained card, the effect does not apply. (In this case, the targeted "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" remains banished.)[2]
