Q&A Rulings
- Q: I activate the effect of "Longirsu, the Orcust Orchestrator", targeting my banished "Orcust Brass Bombard" and "Orcust Cymbal Skeleton". If my opponent chains "Burial from a Different Dimension" and returns that "Orcust Brass Bombard" to the Graveyard, how does the effect of "Longirsu, the Orcust Orchestrator" resolve?
- A: In this scenario, if 1 of the 2 monsters targeted with the effect of "Longirsu, the Orcust Orchestrator" has been returned to the Graveyard by the effect of "Burial from a Different Dimension", and is no longer banished when the effect resolves, the other monster ("Orcust Cymbal Skeleton" in this case) still returns to the Deck. Afterward, you can send 1 of your opponent's linked monsters to the Graveyard normally.[2]
