{{Ruling| Q = "[[Vampire Scarlet Scourge]]" and "[[Vampire Brood]]" are each face-up in my Monster Zone, also there is a face-down Defense Position monster in my opponent's Monster Zone. In this situation, I activate "[[Creature Swap]]" and switch control of "[[Vampire Brood]]" with my opponent's face-down monster. After that, can I use my "[[Vampire Scarlet Scourge]]" and the face-down monster owned by my opponent as materials for the Xyz Summon of "[[Dhampir Vampire Sheridan]]"?| A = If you Xyz Summon "[[Dhampir Vampire Sheridan]]" by treating a monster your opponent owns that you control as a Level 6 monster, it must be a face-up monster in your Monster Zone. Therefore, in this scenario, you cannot Xyz Summon "[[Dhampir Vampire Sheridan]]".| cite = 21777}} {{Ruling| Q = While there are no monsters on my field, I activate 2 copies of "[[Mind Control]]" separately and take control of my opponent's "[[Vampire Lord]]" and "[[Vampire Hunter]]". In this situation, can I Xyz Summon "[[Dhampir Vampire Sheridan]]" using those 2 monsters?| A = In this scenario, both "[[Vampire Lord]]" and "[[Vampire Hunter]]" are monsters your opponent owns that you control, and you can treat both as Level 6 monsters when Xyz Summoning "[[Dhampir Vampire Sheridan]]". | cite = 21776}} {{Ruling| Q = When I activate "[[Smashing Ground]]" to destroy my opponent's "[[Geargiaccelerator]]" equipped with "[[Torque Tune Gear]]", the effect of "[[Torque Tune Gear]]" is applied and it is destroyed instead. When "[[Torque Tune Gear]]" is destroyed and sent to the GY, can I activate the effect of "[[Dhampir Vampire Sheridan]]" that Special Summons that monster to my field?| A = When a monster treated as an Equip Card is destroyed and sent to your opponent's GY, as in this scenario, since it is a Monster Card being sent to your opponent's GY by a card effect, you can activate the effect of "[[Dhampir Vampire Sheridan]]" that Special Summons it to your field.| cite = 21768}} {{Ruling | Q = My "[[Dhampir Vampire Sheridan]]" is face-up in the Extra Monster Zone. In this situation, if a Link Monster is sent to my opponent's Graveyard GY by battle or by card effect, can I activate the effect of "[[Dhampir Vampire Sheridan]]" that Special Summons the sent monster from my opponent’s Graveyardopponent's GY? | A = Since a Link Monster cannot exist in Defense Position, normally, if a Link Monster is sent to your opponent’s Graveyard opponent's GY by battle or by card effect, you cannot activate the effect of "[[Dhampir Vampire Sheridan]]". However, if a Link Monster and a non-Link Monster are destroyed and sent to your opponent’s Graveyard opponent's GY at the same time by the effect of "[[Shiranui Style Swallow's Slash]]", etc., you can activate the effect of "[[Dhampir Vampire Sheridan]]".
