Q&A Rulings
- Q: I activate the effect of "Rogue of Endymion", and Set a "Disciples of the True Dracophoenix" from my Deck. During the same turn, if that "Disciples of the True Dracophoenix" is destroyed and sent to the GY, can I activate its effect that destroys a Spell/Trap Card on the field?
- A: The effect of "Rogue of Endymion" prevents you from activating cards or effects with the same name as the Continuous Spell Card that was Set. Therefore, if "Disciples of the True Dracophoenix" was Set by the effect of "Rogue of Endymion" and then sent to the GY during the same turn, you cannot activate its effect.[2]
- Q: I activate the effect of "Rogue of Endymion", and Set a "Shiranui Style Solemnity" from my Deck. During the same turn, can I then activate the Field Spell Card "Shiranui Style Synthesis"?
- A: The effect of "Rogue of Endymion" prevents you from activating cards or effects with the same name as the Continuous Spell Card that was Set. Furthermore, the effect of "Shiranui Style Solemnity" that treats its name as "Shiranui Style Synthesis" is only applied after it is activated. Therefore, in this scenario, since the card Set by the effect of "Rogue of Endymion" was called "Shiranui Style Solemnity", you can activate "Shiranui Style Synthesis" during the same turn.[3]
- Q: "Endymion's Lab" is face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone. In this situation, I activate the effect of "Rogue of Endymion", and Set another "Endymion's Lab" from my Deck. During the same turn, can I then activate the effect of the "Endymion's Lab" that is already face-up?
- A: The effect of "Rogue of Endymion" prevents you from activating cards or effects with the same name as the Continuous Spell Card that was Set. In this scenario, the card Set by effect of "Rogue of Endymion" was called "Endymion's Lab", but since the one that is already face-up on the field is treated as "Magical Citadel of Endymion", you can activate its effect during the same turn.[4][5]
