Q&A Rulings

• Q: "Traptrix Mantis" and "Relinquished" are both face-up on my field, and "Relinquished" is equipped with a face-down monster by its own effect. In this situation, when activating the effect of "Traptrix Mantis", can I target that face-down monster equipped to "Relinquished"?

A: As in this scenario, if "Relinquished" is equipped with a face-down monster, that monster is considered a Set Spell/Trap Card on your field, so you can target it with the effect of "Traptrix Mantis". (The equipped monster is returned to the hand, and you can then Set another Spell/Trap Card from your hand.)

• Q: I activate the effect of "Traptrix Mantis" and return a Set Spell/Trap Card on my field to my hand. Afterwards, if I want to Set a Spell/Trap Card from my hand with this effect, can I Set an "Artifact Moralltach"?

A: After returning a Set Spell/Trap Card to your hand with the effect of "Traptrix Mantis", you can Set an "Artifact Moralltach" from your hand by applying its effect.

• Q: I activate the effect of "Traptrix Mantis" and return a Set Spell/Trap Card in my Spell & Trap Zone to my hand. Afterwards, if I want to Set a Spell/Trap Card from my hand with this effect, is it Set to the same Spell & Trap Zone that the returned card was in?

A: After returning a Set Spell/Trap Card to your hand with the effect of "Traptrix Mantis", if you have other usable Zones available, you can Set a Spell/Trap Card from your hand to those other Zones. (Just as you do when Setting Spell/Trap Cards during your Main Phase, you can choose any available Zone.) Furthermore, if you Set a Field Spell Card, you must use the Field Zone.

• Q: I activate the effect of "Traptrix Mantis", targeting a Set "Treacherous Trap Hole" on my field. If I chain that "Treacherous Trap Hole", what happens?

A: In this scenario, when resolving the effect of "Traptrix Mantis", since you cannot return the Set target to the hand, you cannot Set a new Spell/Trap Card from your hand. (In this case, "Treacherous Trap Hole" is sent to the Graveyard normally.)
