Card Rulings:Vendread Reunion
OCG Rulings
- This card does not target.[1]
- It cannot be activated during the Damage Step.[1]
- The 3 parts of this effect do not happen simultaneously: Revealing a “Vendread” Ritual Monster in your hand and Special Summoning your banished “Vendread” monsters in face-down Defense Position, Tributing those face-down Defense Position monsters, and Ritual Summoning that Ritual Monster from your hand.[1]
- You cannot activate this card if you have no “Vendread” Ritual Monsters in your hand. Also, you cannot activate this card if you do not have banished “Vendread” monsters whose total Levels equal the Level of that Ritual Monster in your hand and can be Special Summoned.[1]
Q&A Rulings
- Q: When I activate "Vendread Reunion", but my opponent chains "Mask of Restrict", how does the effect resolve?
- A: In this scenario, the effect of "Mask of Restrict" is applied, and it becomes impossible to Tribute monsters with the effect of "Vendread Reunion". In that case, the effect of "Vendread Reunion" is not applied. (You do not reveal a “Vendread” Ritual Monster in your hand or Special Summon any banished “Vendread” monsters.)[2]
- Q: My "Vendread Houndhorde", "Vendread Striges", "Vendread Core", and "Vendread Anima" are banished. In this situation, if I activate "Vendread Reunion" while "Vendread Battlelord" is the only Ritual Monster in my hand, but my opponent chains "Ojama Trio", how does the effect resolve?
- A: In this scenario, if you activated "Vendread Reunion" to Ritual Summon the Level 7 "Vendread Battlelord" in your hand, you must be able to Special Summon your banished "Vendread Houndhorde", "Vendread Striges", "Vendread Core", and "Vendread Anima". Since the effect of your opponent’s "Ojama Trio" Special Summons 3 Ojama Tokens to your Main Monster Zone, you cannot Special Summon banished “Vendread” monsters equal to the Level of the "Vendread Battlelord" in your hand, so the effect of "Vendread Reunion" does not apply. (You do not reveal a “Vendread” Ritual Monster in your hand or Special Summon any banished “Vendread” monsters.)[3]
- Q: My "Vendread Revenants", "Vendread Core", and "Vendread Anima" are banished. In this situation, if I activate "Vendread Reunion", but my opponent chains "Burial from a Different Dimension" and returns "Vendread Core" to my Graveyard, how does the effect of "Vendread Reunion" resolve?
- A: In this scenario, "Vendread Revenants" and "Vendread Anima" will be your only banished “Vendread” monsters when "Vendread Reunion" resolves. Since their total Levels are 5, if "Vendread Chimera" is in your hand, you must reveal it and continue resolving "Vendread Reunion" normally. If the only Ritual Monster in your hand is "Revendread Slayer", you will not be able to Special Summon banished “Vendread” monsters whose total Levels equal its Level, so the effect of "Vendread Reunion" does not apply. (You do not reveal a “Vendread” Ritual Monster in your hand or Special Summon any banished “Vendread” monsters.)[4]
