Q&A Rulings
- Q: If 2 or more monsters are banished at the same time by the effect of "Performapal Turn Trooper", will those monsters return to the field at the same time?
- A: If 2 or more monsters are banished at the same time by the effect of "Performapal Turn Trooper", each monster is treated as returning to the Monster Zone at the same time. If the number of available Main Monster Zones is smaller than the number of monsters that were banished by the effect of "Performapal Turn Trooper", return as many of the banished monsters to the Monster Zones as possible, and send any monsters to the GY that cannot be returned.[2][3]
- Q: My "Performapal Turn Trooper" has 2 counters on it by its own effect. In this situation, when an opponent's monster declares an attack, can I activate the effect of "Performapal Turn Trooper" that negates the attack?
- A: The effect of "Performapal Turn Trooper" that negates attacks can only be activated while it has only 1 of its own counters on it. Therefore, you cannot activate this effect if "Performapal Turn Trooper" has 2 counters on it.[4][5]
