Q&A Rulings
- Q: My opponent activates the effect of "Doomstar Magician" and draws the last card in their Deck. At this time, can I activate the effect of a "The Weather Painter Aurora" that it gained from "The Weather Auroral Canvas", which banishes the drawn card and makes my opponent draw 1 more card?
- A: The effect that a "The Weather" monster gains from "The Weather Auroral Canvas" cannot be activated if the player who would draw a card has no cards in their Deck.[1]
- Q: My opponent activates "Reinforcement of the Army" and adds a "Battlin' Boxer Rib Gardna" from their Deck to their hand. At this time, if I activate the effect of "The Weather Painter Aurora" that it gained from "The Weather Auroral Canvas", but my opponent chains the effect of that "Battlin' Boxer Rib Gardna" by banishing it from their hand, how does the effect of "The Weather Painter Aurora" resolve?
- A: In this scenario, since the "Battlin' Boxer Rib Gardna" that was added to your opponent's hand has been banished to activate its own effect, it cannot be banished by the effect of "The Weather Painter Aurora", and your opponent does not draw a card.[2]
- Q: If exactly 1 monster on the field or in the Graveyard is returned to the hand by the effect of "Firewall Dragon", can the effect of a "The Weather" monster that it gained from a face-up "The Weather Auroral Canvas" be activated?
- A: The effect that a monster gains from "The Weather Auroral Canvas" can be activated whenever a player adds 1 card to their hand, including from the field or Graveyard. However, in this case, if a card was added to the hand by the effect of "Firewall Dragon" that activated as Chain Link 2 or higher, the effect gained from "The Weather Auroral Canvas" cannot be activated.[3]
- Q: I activate "Light of Redemption", and add a banished "The Weather Painter Thunder" to my hand. At this time, if I activate the effect of a "The Weather Painter Aurora" that it gained from "The Weather Auroral Canvas", but my opponent chains "Imperial Iron Wall", how does that effect resolve?
- A: In this scenario, the effect that "The Weather Painter Aurora" gained from "The Weather Auroral Canvas" resolves while the effect of "Imperial Iron Wall" is applying. The card added to your hand cannot be banished, and you cannot draw a card.[4]
- Q: "Protector of the Sanctuary" is face-up on my field. In this scenario, when my opponent adds a Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from their Deck to their hand by the effect of "Reinforcement of the Army, can I activate the effect of a "The Weather" monster gained from "The Weather Auroral Canvas"?
- A: In this scenario, your opponent is unable to draw cards due to the effect of your "Protector of the Sanctuary", so if your opponent adds a monster to their hand by the effect of "Reinforcement of the Army", you cannot activate the effect of a "The Weather" monster gained from "The Weather Auroral Canvas".[5]
- Q: When I activate "Mystical Space Typhoon", my opponent chains "Waterfall of Dragon Souls", selecting the effect that adds a Wyrm-Type monster from their Deck to their hand. After this Chain resolves, can I activate the effect of a "The Weather" monster that it gains from "The Weather Auroral Canvas"?
- A: As in this scenario, if a player adds a card from their Deck to their hand with an effect activated as Chain Link 2 or higher, the effect gained from "The Weather Auroral Canvas" cannot be activated.[6]
