Card Rulings:Junk Anchor
OCG Rulings
- The "For a Synchro Summon, you can substitute this card for any 1 "Synchron" Tuner monster." is not treated as an effect.[1]
- The "Once per turn: You can discard 1 card, then target 1 "Junk" non-Tuner monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it. Immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro Summon 1 monster that lists a "Synchron" monster as a Tuner using only this card and that target. Synchro Material Monsters used for this Synchro Summon are banished." effect is an Ignition Effect. (Discarding 1 card is a cost to activate this effect. It targets 1 "Junk" monster in the Graveyard.)[1]
- When this effect resolves, Special Summoning the targeted monster is considered the last thing to happen. Immediately after this effect resolves, you must Synchro Summon 1 Synchro Monster using the monster Special Summoned by this effect.[1]
- This card can only target monsters that can be used to Synchro Summon 1 monster that lists a "Synchron" monster as a Tuner.
- While the effect of "Imperial Iron Wall" is being applied, the effect of "Junk Anchor" can be activated. After the targeted monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard a Synchro Summon is performed. Since the effect of "Imperial Iron Wall" is being applied, Synchro Material Monsters are not banished.[2]
- Even if "Phantom of Chaos" gains the effect of "Junk Anchor", the "For a Synchro Summon, you can substitute this card for any 1 "Synchron" Tuner monster." is not gained. (Therefore, even if you gain he effect of "Junk Anchor", since you cannot Synchro Summon an approppiate Synchro Monster, the gained effect cannot be activated.)[3]
- When the effect of "Junk Anchor" resolves, if "Junk Anchor" is no longer on the field, the targeted monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, but a Synchro Summon is not performed. (Special Summoning the targeted monster is considered the last thing to happen.)[4]
- When the effect of "Junk Anchor" resolves, if the Level of "Junk Anchor" was changed by "Star Changer" and an approppiate Synchro no longer exists in the Extra Deck, the targeted monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, but a Synchro Summon is not performed. (Special Summoning the targeted monster is considered the last thing to happen.)[5]
- When the effect of "Junk Anchor" resolves, if "Junk Anchor" is in face-down Defense Position, the targeted monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, but a Synchro Summon is not performed. (Special Summoning the targeted monster is considered the last thing to happen.)[6]
- When the effect of "Junk Anchor" resolves, if the control of "Junk Anchor" was switched to your opponent, the targeted monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, but a Synchro Summon is not performed. (Special Summoning the targeted monster is considered the last thing to happen.)[7]
- While the effect of "Discord" is being applied, the effect of "Junk Anchor" cannot be activated. If "Discord" is activated in a chain to the effect of "Junk Anchor", the targeted monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, but a Synchro Summon is not performed. (Special Summoning the targeted monster is considered the last thing to happen.)[8]
- When the effect of "Junk Anchor" is activated, after Special Summoning the targeted monster, immediately after that, a Synchro Summon of 1 Synchro Monster using the targeted monster and "Junk Anchor" is performed. Therefore, since 2 Special Summons have been performed by the effect of "Junk Anchor", if the effect of "Maxx "C"" is being applied, your opponent will draw 2 cards.[9]
- When the effect of "Junk Anchor" is activated, after Special Summoning the targeted monster, immediately after that, a Synchro Summon of 1 Synchro Monster using the targeted monster and "Junk Anchor" is performed. Therefore, when the monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, you cannot activate "Torrential Tribute" before the Synchro Summon is performed. (After the Synchro Summon is performed, you can activate "Torrential Tribute".)[10]
- When the effect of "Junk Anchor" is activated, after Special Summoning the targeted monster, immediately after that, a Synchro Summon of 1 Synchro Monster using the targeted monster and "Junk Anchor" is performed. When you do, the "Synchro Material Monsters used for this Synchro Summon are banished." is applied, and both "Junk Anchor" and the monster Special Summoned by "Junk Anchor" are banished.[11]
- After the effect that Special Summons the targeted monster resolves, immediately after that, a Synchro Summon of 1 Synchro Monster using the targeted monster and "Junk Anchor" is performed. Therefore, you cannot activate "Horn of Heaven" or the effect of "Thunder King Rai-Oh" in a chain to the effect of "Junk Anchor", but when the Synchro Summons is performed after the effect of "Junk Anchor" resolves, you can activate "Horn of Heaven" or the effect of "Thunder King Rai-Oh" as Chain Link 1. Also, even if the Synchro Summon is negated, the "Synchro Material Monsters used for this Synchro Summon are banished." is applied normally, and the Synchro Material Monsters are banished.[12]
