Q&A Rulings
- Q: "Summon Over" is face-up in my Field Zone and has Summon Counters on it. If "Imperial Order" is activated, what happens to the Summon Counters?
- A: As in this scenario, if the effect of "Imperial Order" is applied and the effects of "Summon Over" are negated, all Summon Counters on it are removed.[2]
- Q: "Summon Over" with 6 Summon Counters on it is face-up in my Field Zone, and a "Archfiend's Call" that was Synchro Summoned is face-up in my Extra Monster Zone. In this situation, my opponent activates the effect of my "Summon Over" during their Main Phase 1. Can I then activate the effect of "Archfiend's Call" that Special Summons a "Summoned Skull" from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard?
- A: In this scenario, even though your "Archfiend's Call" was sent to the Graveyard by the effect of your "Summon Over", since it was sent by your opponent, you can still activate its effect that Special Summons a "Summoned Skull".[3]
