Q&A Rulings
- Q: While "Perform Puppet" is face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone, if my "Gimmick Puppet Terror Baby" that was in face-down Defense Position is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, can I activate the effect of "Perform Puppet" that Special Summons one of my banished "Gimmick Puppet" monsters?
- A: Even if your "Gimmick Puppet" monster that was in face-down Defense Position is attacked by an opponent's monster, since that monster is flipped face-up before damage calculation, it will be face-up when destroyed by battle. Therefore, you can activate the effect of "Perform Puppet".[2][3]
