Q&A Rulings
- Q: A "Shield of the Super Soldier" was set on the field by its own effect. Afterwards, if that "Shield of the Super Soldier" is activated, and it has its activation negated by "Seven Tools of the Bandit", is that "Shield of the Super Soldier" banished?
- A: In the proposed scenario, since the "Shield of the Super Soldier" that has its activation negated by "Seven Tools of the Bandit" is not considered to leave the field, it is not banished and is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard normally.[1]
- Q: A "Shield of the Super Soldier" was set on the field by its own effect. Afterwards, if that "Shield of the Super Soldier" is activated, and it has its activation negated by Malfunction, setting it again on the field, is that "Shield of the Super Soldier" banished later?
- A: In the proposed scenario, the "Shield of the Super Soldier" that is set on the field by "Malfunction" is no longer affected by its effect. Afterwards, if that "Shield of the Super Soldier" is destroeyd by the effect of "Mystical Space Typhoon", it is not banished by its own effect.[2]
- Q: Can you activate the effect of "Shield of the Super Soldier" in the Graveyard while the effect of the opponent's "Dark Simorgh" is being applied? Also, if the opponent activates "Call of the Haunted" in a chain to the activation of the effect of "Shield of the Super Soldier", Special Summoning "Dark Simorgh", how does this resolve?
- A: While the effect of the opponent's "Dark Simorgh" is being applied, you cannot activate the effect of a "Shield of the Super Soldier" in your Graveyard. Also, if at the time of the resolution of the effect of "Shield of the Super Soldier" the effect of the opponent's "Dark Simorgh" is being applied, the effect does not resolve. ("Shield of the Super Soldier" remains in the Graveyard)[3]
- Q: Can the effect of "Shield of the Super Soldier" in the Graveyard be activated during the turn in which it is sent to the Graveyard?
- A: The effect of "Shield of the Super Soldier" in the Graveyard can be activated even during the turn in which it is sent to the Graveyard. (A Spell Counter on your side of the field must be removed to activate this effect)[4]
- Q: Can the effect of "Shield of the Super Soldier" in the Graveyard be activated in a chain to the activation of the effects of other cards?
- A: The effect of a "Shield of the Super Soldier" in the Graveyard is of Spell Speed 2. Therefore, it can be activated in a chain to the activation of the effect of other cards.[5]
- Q: Can "Shield of the Super Soldier" be activated in a chain to "Icarus Attack" being activated by targeting a monsster on the field and a Spell or Trap Card in the Spell & Trap Zone?
- A: Even in the proposed scenario, providing you control a face-up "Black Luster Soldier" Monster, "Shield of the Super Soldier" can be activated in a chain to the activation of "Icarus Attack".[6]
- Q: Can "Shield of the Super Soldier" only be activated when a "Black Luster Soldier" Monster is targeted for an effect?
- A: In order to activate "Shield of the Super Soldier", you must control a face-up "Black Luster Soldier" Monster, and a monster on the field must be targeted for an effect. Therefore, providing you control a "Black Luster Soldier" Monster, "Shield of the Super Soldier" can be activated in a chain when a monster that is not a "Black Luster Soldier" Monster is targeted for an effect.[7]
