Q&A Rulings
- Q: Can "Future Fusion" be activated when you cannot Special Summon LIGHT and DARK monster because of the effect of "Koa'ki Meiru Drago"?
- A: While "Koa'ki Meiru Drago" is on the field, "Future Fusion"/"Instant Fusion"/etc can still be activated, and the effect of "Cyber-Stein" can still be activated. However, when resolving the effect, you can choose neither a LIGHT nor a DARK Fusion Monster to Special Summon. If you only have LIGHT and DARK Fusion Monsters in your Extra Deck, then you cannot activate "Future Fusion"/the effect of "Cyber-Stein"/etc.[1][2]
- Q: If "Non-Spellcasting Area" is applied to the field, will a monster Special Summoned by "Ritual Foregone" or "Instant Fusion" be destroyed?
- A: If non-effect Ritual or Fusion Monster is Special Summoned by the effect of "Ritual Foregone"/"Instant Fusion" when "Non-Spellcasting Area" is applied to the field, it still cannot declare an attack and it will be destroyed during the End Phase.[3][4]
- Q: I activate "Instant Fusion" and Special Summon "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" from my Extra Deck. During the same turn, if I activate "Creature Swap" and switch control of "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" with an opponent’s monster, will that "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" still be destroyed during my End Phase?
- A: In this scenario, if "Thousand-Eyes Restrict" was Special Summoned by the effect of "Instant Fusion", even if your opponent gains control of it with the effect of "Creature Swap", the effect "but it cannot attack, also is destroyed during the End Phase." remains. Therefore, when you reach your End Phase, Thousand-Eyes Restrict is destroyed.[5]
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[6] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise. References: [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] |
- Because the Summon from "Instant Fusion" is a Fusion Summon, Fusion Monsters with the text "A Fusion Summon of this monster can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters." cannot be Special Summoned with "Instant Fusion".
- Since the Special Summon from "Instant Fusion" is treated as a Fusion Summon, you can use "Premature Burial" etc. on the Fusion Monster if it is destroyed.
- Even if "Non-Spellcasting Area" is active, a Fusion Monster that is not an Effect Monster (such as "Flame Swordsman") will still be affected by the restrictions on "Instant Fusion". So it still cannot attack and it is still destroyed at the end of this turn.
- Even though only 1 copy of this card can be activated each turn, you can chain "Serial Spell" to it to duplicate the effect.
- If "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" uses its effect and reveals "Instant Fusion", you can still activate another "Instant Fusion" that same turn.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Chain Material: You cannot use "Chain Material's" effect when resolving "Instant Fusion" or "Future Fusion".
