Q&A Rulings
- Q: "Proxy Dragon" is face-up in my Main Monster Zone, with "First of the Dragons" in a Monster Zone adjacent to it. In this situation, if "Proxy Dragon" would be destroyed by the effect of my opponent's "Raigeki Break", can I apply its effect?
- A: In this scenario, since "First of the Dragons" is unaffected by monster effects, you cannot destroy it with the effect of "Proxy Dragon", so you cannot apply that effect and "Proxy Dragon" is destroyed by the effect of "Raigeki Break".[1]
- Q: "Proxy Dragon" is face-up in my Main Monster Zone, with "Cyberse Gadget" in a Monster Zone adjacent to it. In this situation, if my opponent activates "Harpie's Feather Duster", and multiple Spell/Trap Cards on my field would be destroyed, can I apply the effect of "Proxy Dragon"?
- A: If your opponent activated "Harpie's Feather Duster", and multiple Spell/Trap Cards on your field would be destroyed, you can apply the effect of "Proxy Dragon". In this scenario, the linked "Cyberse Gadget" is destroyed instead, and none of the Spell/Trap Cards on your field are destroyed by the effect of "Harpie's Feather Duster".[2]
- Q: "Proxy Dragon" is face-up in my Main Monster Zone, with "Bitron" and "Draconnet" in adjacent Monster Zones on either side of it. In this situation, if my opponent activates "Icarus Attack" and targets "Bitron" and "Draconnet", can I apply the effect of "Proxy Dragon"?
- A: In this scenario, since "Bitron" and "Draconnet" are both linked to "Proxy Dragon" and would be destroyed by the effect of "Icarus Attack", you cannot apply the effect of "Proxy Dragon".[3]
- Q: A "Proxy Dragon" is in my leftmost Main Monster Zone with "RAM Clouder" in the Monster Zone adjacent to it, while another copy of "Proxy Dragon" is in my rightmost Main Monster Zone with "Stack Reviver" in the Monster Zone adjacent to it. In this situation, if "Mystical Space Typhoon" is activated and a "Cybenet Universe" in my Field Zone would be destroyed, how can the effect of each "Proxy Dragon" be applied?
- A: In this scenario, you can choose which of your 2 "Proxy Dragons'" effects to apply. (Both copies of "Proxy Dragon" cannot apply their effects at the same time.) For example, if you apply the effect of your rightmost "Proxy Dragon", "Stack Reviver" will be destroyed instead, and "Cynet Universe" is not destroyed by the effect of "Mystical Space Typhoon".)[4]
- Q: "Proxy Dragon" is face-up in my Main Monster Zone, with "Ib the World Chalice Priestess" in a Monster Zone adjacent to it. In this situation, if "Proxy Dragon" would be destroyed by battle, can I apply its effect?
- A: In this scenario, "Ib the World Chalice Priestess" is linked to "Proxy Dragon", so it is not destroyed by battle or card effects, and cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects. Therefore, since you cannot destroy "Ib the World Chalice Priestess" with the effect of "Proxy Dragon", you cannot apply its effect, and it is destroyed by battle normally.[5]
- Q: When my "Proxy Dragon" would be destroyed by battle or card effect, I apply its effect and destroy a "Decoy Dragon" that it points to instead. At this time, can I apply the effect of "Return of the Dragon Lords" and banish it from my Graveyard instead of destroying "Decoy Dragon"?
- A: If you apply the effect of "Proxy Dragon" and destroy a Dragon-Type monster that it points to, you cannot apply the effect of a "Return of the Dragon Lords" in your Graveyard.[6]
