Q&A Rulings
- Q: The effect of "Mischief of the Yokai" was applied to a face-up "Worm King" in my Monster Zone. In this situation, if I activate the effect of "Worm Queen" by Tributing that "Worm King", how does it resolve?
- A: The effect of "Worm Queen" Special Summons a Reptile-Type "Worm" monster from your Deck with a lower or equal Level than the Tributed monster's on the field. In this scenario, since "Worm King" had its Level reduced by 1 and was Level 7, you will Special Summon a Reptile-Type "Worm" monster whose Level is less than or equal to 7. Also, if you Tribute a face-down Defense Position Reptile-Type "Worm" monster to activate the effect of "Worm Queen", you will Special Summon a monster whose Level is less than or equal to the Tributed monster's original Level.[3]
