Q&A Rulings
- Q: I activate "Karakuri Cash Inn", targeting my "Karakuri Merchant mdl 177 "Inashichi"" and my opponent's "Duke Shade, the Sinister Shadow Lord". If "Compulsory Evacuation Device" is chained and my "Karakuri Merchant mdl 177 "Inashichi"" is returned to the hand, how does "Karakuri Cash Inn" resolve?
- A: In this scenario, since the targeted "Karakuri Merchant mdl 177 "Inashichi"" is no longer on the field, the part of the effect of "Karakuri Cash Inn" that changes your monster's battle position cannot be applied. In that case, the part of the effect that negates the opponent's monster's effects is also not applied, so the effects of "Duke Shade, the Sinister Shadow Lord" are not negated.[2][3]
