Q&A Rulings
- Q: If I activate the Pendulum Effect of "Servant of Endymion", can I Special Summon a "Dark Valkyria" from my Deck?
- A: You can Special Summon "Dark Valkyria" from your Deck with the Pendulum Effect of "Servant of Endymion". "Dark Valkyria" cannot have Spell Counters on it unless it is treated as an Effect Monster after being Normal Summoned again, so when the effect of "Servant of Endymion" resolves, only "Servant of Endymion" has a Spell Counter placed on it. If, when the effect of "Servant of Endymion" resolves, the effect of Superalloy Beast Raptinus is applying, "Dark Valkyria" will also have a Spell Counter placed on it.[2][3]
- Q: A face-up "Servant of Endymion" in my Monster Zone is the only card on my field. In this situation, during my opponent's turn, can I activate its effect that places Spell Counters on each face-up card on my field that I can place Spell Counters on?
- A: Even if "Servant of Endymion" is the only card on your field that you can place Spell Counters on, you can activate its effect during your opponent's turn.[4][3]
- Q: "Gate Blocker" is face-up in my opponent's Monster Zone, and its effect that prevents me from placing counters on the field is applying. In this situation, if a "Servant of Endymion" in my Monster Zone is destroyed, can I activate its effect that places it in the Pendulum Zone?
- A: While the effect of your opponent's "Gate Blocker" is applying, you cannot activate the effect of "Servant of Endymion" that places it in your Pendulum Zone. (Even if the destroyed "Servant of Endymion" had no Spell Counters on it, you cannot activate its effect.)[5][6]
