Card Rulings:Sky Striker Maneuver - Vector Blast
OCG Rulings
- This card can only be activated if you have no monsters in your Main Monster Zone.[1]
- When this card resolves, the effect of returning all of your opponent's monsters in the Extra Monster Zone to the Deck is applied if you have 3 or more Spell Cards in your Graveyard, in addition to the effect that sends 2 cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard.[1]
- This effect must always send 2 cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard, but even if you have 3 or more Spell Cards in your Graveyard, you can choose not to return your opponent's monsters in the Extra Monster Zones to the Deck.[1]
- Sending 2 cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard and returning your opponent's monsters in the Extra Monster Zones to the Deck do not happen simultaneously.[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: "Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage!" is the only Spell Card in my Graveyard. I activate "Sky Striker Maneuver - Vector Blast", and the 2 cards sent from the top of my Deck to the Graveyard are "Sky Striker Maneuver - Afterburners!" and "Sky Striker Maneuver - Jamming Waves!" Since there are now 3 Spell Cards in my Graveyard, can I apply the part of the effect of "Sky Striker Maneuver - Vector Blast" that returns all of my opponent's monsters in the Extra Monster Zones to the Deck?
- A: In this scenario, as long as your opponent has a monster in the Extra Monster Zone, you can apply the part of the effect of "Sky Striker Maneuver - Vector Blast" that returns all of your opponent's monsters in the Extra Monster Zones to the Deck.[2]
- Q: My opponent's "Knightmare Mermaid" and "Knightmare Unicorn" are in the Extra Monster Zones, in an Extra Link with "Knightmare Phoenix", "Knightmare Goblin", and "Knightmare Cerberus" in my opponent's Main Monster Zones. If I activate "Sky Striker Maneuver - Vector Blast" and there are 3 or more Spell Cards in my Graveyard, how do I apply the part of the effect that returns all of my opponent's monsters in the Extra Monster Zones to the Deck?
- A: In this scenario, if the effect of "Sky Striker Maneuver - Vector Blast" resolves and your opponent has 2 monsters in the Extra Monster Zones by forming an Extra Link, both of your opponent's monsters in the Extra Monster Zones are returned. ("Knightmare" Mermaid and "Knightmare Unicorn" return to your opponent's Extra Deck.)[3]
- Q: My opponent's "Blackwing Full Armor Master" is in the Extra Monster Zone. If I activate "Sky Striker Maneuver - Vector Blast" and there are 3 or more Spell Cards in my Graveyard, can I apply the part of the effect that returns all of my opponent's monsters in the Extra Monster Zones to the Deck?
- A: In this scenario, since your opponent's "Blackwing Full Armor Master" is in the Extra Monster Zone and there are 3 or more Spell Cards in your Graveyard, you can apply the part of the effect of "Sky Striker Maneuver - Vector Blast" that returns all of your opponent's monsters in the Extra Monster Zones to the Deck. However, since "Blackwing Full Armor Master" is unaffected by other cards' effects, it does not actually return to the Extra Deck and remains on the field.[4]
