OCG Rulings
- "Must be Synchro Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways" is not treated as an effect of an Effect Monster.[1][2]
- The "This card's maximum number of attacks per Battle Phase equals the number of non-Tuner monsters used as its Synchro Material." effect is a Continuous Effect.[2]
- It is not necessary to perform these additional attacks in a row. You can attack once, attack with a different monster, and then perform the second attack.[1]
- While performing a second or higher attack with "Shooting Quasar Dragon", if "Skill Drain" is activated at Attack Declaration or during the Battle Step, since "Shooting Quasar Dragon" has its effects negated, the attack stops. Also, if "Shooting Quasar Dragon" has its effects negated by "Forbidden Chalice" during the "Damage Step", you still perform damage calculation.[3]
- After Synchro Summoning "Shooting Quasar Dragon", if it is changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of "Book of Moon", and then flipped face-up once again, it can only attack once per turn.[4]
- If "Shooting Quasar Dragon" can attack three times by its own effect, and it is equipped with "Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce", "Shooting Quasar Dragon" can attack a maximum of three times. Even after "Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce" is destroyed, it can still attack a three times.[5]
- The "Once per turn, during either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated: You can negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it." effect is a Quick Effect that can be activated during the Damage Step. It does not target.[2]
- This effect of "Shooting Quasar Dragon" is applied as follows.[6]
- It can negate the activation of the effects of Continuous Spell Cards like "Gateway of the Six", Continuous Trap Cards like "Ultimate Offering", and Field Spell Cards like "Dragon Ravine".[6]
- It can negate the activation of effects activated outside of the field. For example, the effect of "Black Pendant" that is activated when it is sent to the Graveyard, the effect of "Skill Successor" that is activated from the Graveyard, or the effect of a banished "D.D. Scout Plane".[6]
- When resolving the effect of Shooting Quasar Dragon, if it is no longer face-up on the field, its effect is still applied.[6]
- The "When this card leaves the field: You can Special Summon 1 "Shooting Star Dragon" from your Extra Deck." effect is a Trigger Effect that can be activated even if this card leaves the field during the Damage Step. It does not target. Furthermore, if you have no copies of "Shooting Star Dragon" in your Extra Deck, this effect cannot be activated.[2]

- If "Shooting Quasar Dragon" leaves the field in the middle of an effect resolution, or as Chain Link 2 or higher, the effect to Special Summon "Shooting Star Dragon" cannot be activated.[8]
- If "Shooting Star Dragon" is Special Summoned by the effect of "Shooting Quasar Dragon", it is not treated as being properly Summoned. If it is sent to the Graveyard or it is banished, it cannot be Special Summoned.[9]
