Q&A Rulings

• The effect of "Majestic Red Dragon" cannot target a non-Effect Monster.

• For the effect of "Majestic Red Dragon" which negates effects and increases ATK, "Majestic Red Dragon" gains ATK equal to the other monster's ATK after its effect is negated.
  • Example: If "Majestic Red Dragon" negates the effect of "Great Maju Garzett", then "Great Maju Garzett" has 0 ATK after its effect is negated, so the ATK of "Majestic Red Dragon" does not increase.

• For the ATK-increasing effect of "Majestic Red Dragon", the ATK increase also includes ATK modifications from Equip Cards like "Axe of Despair" that are equipped to the targeted monster.

• Q: Can I Synchro Summon a "Majestic Red Dragon" using a "Neo-Spacian Dark Panther", which is not a Tuner but treated as "Majestic Dragon" by its own effect, and a "Red Dragon Archfiend" treated as a Tuner by another card's effect as materials?

A: A set of Synchro Materials for a Synchro Summon must always meet the following requirements.

• • Their total Level are equal to the Synchro Monster's Level.
  • At least 1 Tuner is included as a Synchro Material.
  • The material requirements listed on the Synchro Monster are met.
• The Synchro Materials required to Synchro Summon "Majestic Red Dragon" are "Majestic Dragon" + "Red Dragon Archfiend" + 1 non-Tuner monster, so at least 1 of either "Majestic Dragon" or "Red Dragon Archfiend" must be a Tuner. Therefore, you can Synchro Summon "Majestic Red Dragon" using a "Neo-Spacian Dark Panther" whose name is treated as "Majestic Dragon", but in that case, either "Neo-Spacian Dark Panther" or "Red Dragon Archfiend" must be treated as a Tuner.
• You can Synchro Summon "Majestic Red Dragon" using a "Red Dragon Archfiend" treated as a Tuner. In that case, the "Majestic Dragon" does not need to be a Tuner.
