Q&A Rulings
- Q: I activate "Evil Eye of Selene", targeting a face-up "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye" in my Monster Zone. Can I then chain the effect of that "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye" that destroys a Special Summoned monster on my opponent's field?
- A: Equip Spell Cards are equipped to their targeted monsters once they resolve. In this scenario, "Evil Eye of Selene" is not yet treated as being equipped to "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye". Therefore, you cannot activate the second effect of "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye".[2][3]
- Q: During this turn, I activated the effect of "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye" that destroys a Special Summoned monster on my opponent's field. After that, if "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye" is used as material to Link Summon "Zerrziel, Ruler of the Evil Eyed", will the effect of "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye" that destroys a card on my field still activate during the next Standby Phase?
- A: The effect of "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye" that destroys a card on your own field will only activate if it is face-up in your Monster Zone during the next Standby Phase after it activated its effect that destroys an opponent's Special Summoned monster. In this scenario, if the "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye" whose effect was activated is no longer in the Monster Zone, the third effect will not activate during the next Standby Phase.[4][3]
- Q: During this turn, I activated the effect of "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye" that destroys a Special Summoned monster on my opponent's field. After that, if my opponent activates "Cosmic Cyclone" and banishes "Evil Eye of Selene", will the effect of "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye" that destroys a card on my field still activate during the next Standby Phase?
- A: The effect of "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye" that destroys a card on your own field will activate during the next Standby Phase after it activated its effect that destroys an opponent's Special Summoned monster, even if it is no longer equipped with "Evil Eye of Selene". (In this scenario, if "Serziel, Watcher of the Evil Eye" is the only card on your field, it will be destroyed by its own effect.)[5][3]
