Card Rulings:Scrap-Iron Signal
OCG Rulings
- This card does not target. (It must be chained directly to the activation of an opponent's monster effect.)[1]
- This card can be activated during the Damage Step.[1]
- This card can only be activated if you have a face-up Synchro Monster in your Monster Zone that requires a Synchro Monster as its material (such as "Satellite Warrior", "Shooting Star Dragon", or "Red Nova Dragon").[1]
- Negating the monster effect's activation and Setting this card afterward do not happen simultaneously.[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: My opponent activates the effect of "Altergeist Marionetter" while they have "Altergeist Protocol" face-up in their Spell & Trap Zone. If I activate "Scrap-Iron Signal" in this situation, what happens?
- A: In this scenario, due to the effect of your opponent's "Altergeist Protocol", the activation of the effect of "Altergeist Marionetter" is not negated by the effect of "Scrap-Iron Signal". Even in this case, since "Scrap-Iron Signal" was activated, it is Set in its Spell & Trap Zone again instead of being sent to the GY.[2][3]
