Q&A Rulings

  • Q: Can "Nekroz of Sophia" be Special Summoned by the effect of "Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz"?
A: If you activate the effect of "Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz", you can Ritual Summon "Nekroz of Sophia". Since "Nekroz of Sophia" cannot be Special Summoned, except by Ritual Summoning it from your hand using 3 monsters on your side of the field with different Types, even if you Summon it using the effect of "Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz", you must meet these requirements.[2]
  • Q: Can the effect of "Shurit, Strategist of the Nekroz" be used at the time a Ritual Summon is performed by the Monster Effect of "Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz"?
A: Yes, it can.[3]
  • Q: When the Ritual Summon of "Nekroz of Trishula" is performed by the Monster Effect of "Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz", can a Level 9 monster be used?
A: No, it cannot.

Since "Nekroz of Trishula" is a Ritual Monster that must be Ritiual Summoned without using Level 9 monsters, even if it is Ritual Summoned by the Monster Effect of "Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz", Level 9 monsters cannot be used.[4]
  • Q: Can the effect of "Djinn Releaser of Rituals" be used at the time a Ritual Summon is performed by the Monster Effect of "Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz"?
A: Yes, it can.[5]

  • Q: Can the "•Ritual" effect of "Oracle of Zefra" be activated if a monster is Ritual Summoned by the Monster Effect of "Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz" tributing "Zefra" monsters?
A: Yes, it can.

Furthermore, even if a Ritual Summon is performed using the Monster Effect of "Zefrasaber, Swordmaster of the Nekroz", if you do not tribute "Zefra" monsters for the Tribute Summon, the effect of "Oracle of Zefra" cannot be activated[9]
