Q&A Rulings
- Q: I activate "Synchro Transcend", targeting a face-up "Mighty Warrior" in my opponent's Monster Zone. If my opponent chains "Star Changer" and reduces "Mighty Warrior"'s Level by 1, what happens?
- A: In this scenario, the targeted "Mighty Warrior"'s original Level is 6, but since its Level was reduced by 1 by the effect of "Star Changer", you must Special Summon a Level 6 Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck with the effect of "Synchro Transcend".[2]
- Q: I Special Summoned a "Stardust Warrior" with the effect of "Synchro Transcend". If that "Stardust Warrior" is destroyed by battle or my opponent's card effect that turn and sent to the Graveyard, can I activate its effect that Special Summons a Level 8 or lower "Warrior" Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck?
- A: A Synchro Monster Special Summoned by the effect of "Synchro Transcend" cannot activate its effects that turn, as long as it remains face-up on the field. In this scenario, if "Stardust Warrior" is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can activate its effect that Special Summons a Level 8 or lower "Warrior" Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck.[3]
- Q: I Special Summoned a "Blackwing Tamer - Obsidian Hawk Joe" with the effect of "Synchro Transcend". During that turn, if my opponent activates "Enemy Controller" and takes control of that "Blackwing Tamer - Obsidian Hawk Joe", can my opponent activate its effects?
- A: A Synchro Monster Special Summoned by the effect of "Synchro Transcend" cannot activate its effects that turn. Even if your opponent gains control of the Synchro Monster with the effect of "Enemy Controller", your opponent cannot activate its effects.[4]
