Q&A Rulings
- Q: While "Witchcrafter Pittore" is face-up in my Monster Zone, I activate a "Witchcrafter Bystreet" from my hand. If my opponent chains "Mystical Space Typhoon" and targets that "Witchcrafter Bystreet", can I then chain the effect of "Witchcrafter Pittore" and send "Witchcrafter Bystreet" to the GY as the cost?
- A: The effect of "Witchcrafter Bystreet" can only be applied once the card itself has finished resolving. In this scenario, when activating the effect of a "Witchcrafter" monster in the same Chain as the activation of "Witchcrafter Bystreet", you cannot apply the effect of "Witchcrafter Bystreet".[2][3]
