Q&A Rulings
- Q: Can I Special Summon "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon" with the effect of "Red-Eyes Fusion"?
- A: You can Special Summon a "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon" with the effect of "Red-Eyes Fusion". However, since the materials for "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon" are "Dark Magician" + "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" or 1 Dragon Effect Monster, if you perform the Fusion Summon using the effect of "Red-Eyes Fusion", you must always include "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" as a material.[2]
- Q: Can I Special Summon "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon" with the effect of "The Eye of Timaeus"?
- A: You can Special Summon a "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon" with the effect of "The Eye of Timaeus". However, since the materials for "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon" are "Dark Magician" + "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" or 1 Dragon Effect Monster, you will need to target "Dark Magician" with the effect of "The Eye of Timaeus".[3][4]
- Q: I activated "Polymerization" and Fusion Summoned a "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon", using "Dark Magician" and "Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon" in my hand as materials. In this case, how many times per turn can I activate the effect of "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon" that destroys a monster on my opponent's field and inflicts damage?
- A: In this scenario, a "Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon" in your hand is treated as a Dragon Effect Monster when used as a material for "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon". Therefore, since "Dark Magician" was the only Normal Monster used as a material, the effect of that "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon" can only be activated once per turn.[5][6]
