7439: When battling by the effect of "Equip Shot", can "Sakuretsu Armor" be activated?

• There is no attack declaration when battling by the effect of "Equip Shot" - it moves the game forward to Damage Calculation when resolving the effect. Card like "Mirror Force" and "Sakuretsu Armor" cannot be activated because of this.

7441: Can "Intercept" be activated in response to the Normal Summon of a Level 7+ monster with 1 Tribute, like "Majestic Mech - Goryu"?

• You can activate "Intercept" when a Level 7+ monster is Normal Summoned with only 1 Tribute.
  • Example: When "Evil Hero Malicious Edge" or "Majestic Mech - Goryu" is Normal Summoned, you can activate "Intercept" and gain control of the monster.

7449: Effect Monster > Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon

• "Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon" is a Normal Summon Monster.
• The text "You can Tribute Summon this card in Attack Position by Tributing 1 Zombie-Type monster." of "Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon" is not treated as an effect.
• The effect of "Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon" to Special Summon the Zombie-Type monster destroyed by battle does not target.

7462: When the monster targeted by "Paladin of the Cursed Dragon" is not Zombie-Type when the effect resolves, is it still Special Summoned?

• If the monster targeted by "Paladin of the Cursed Dragon"'s effect is not an Zombie-Type monster when the effect resolves, then his effect resolves without effect. For example, if "Mystical Space Typhoon" is chained to the effect and destroys "Zombie World", then "Paladin of the Cursed Dragon"'s effect resolves without effect.

7463: When a monster whose Type is Zombie by the effect of "DNA Surgery" is destroyed by "Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon", can it be Special Summoned?

• The effect of "Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon" activates optionally when the destroyed Zombie-Type monster is sent to the Graveyard.
• If "DNA Surgery" is activate and declaring "Zombie", when a monster whose Type is originally non-Zombie battles with "Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon" and is destroyed, then the effect of "Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon" cannot be activated.

7464: When a monster which was already destroyed by battle becomes Zombie-Type, can it be targeted with "Paladin of the Cursed Dragon"'s effect?

7465: When resolving the effect of "Book of Moon", if the targeted monster is not a Zombie, then can it be Special Summoned?

• If the Zombie-Type monster targeted by an effect like "Book of Life" or "Mezuki" or "Zombie Master" is not a Zombie-Type monster at resolution - for example, "Mystical Space Typhoon" was chained and destroyed "Zombie World" - then the effect which Special Summons the monster from the Graveyard is not applied. Also, for "Book of Life", its effect which removes from play one card in your opponent's Graveyard is still applied.

7466: If "Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon" and the other battling monster are both destroyed, then can you Special Summon the opponent's monster?

• If "Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon" battles with a Zombie-Type monster with equal ATK and both monsters are destroyed by battle, then you cannot activate its effect which Special Summons the opponent's monster.

7468: When "Zombie World" and "DNA Surgery" are both active, which effect is applied?

• Vs. "DNA Surgery": Which ever card is activates last has its effect applied (although "Zombie World" will continue to affect the Graveyard and prevent Tribute Summons). Also, if "DNA Surgery" is activated after "Zombie World", then Tribute Summoning an originally Zombie-Type monster is still allowed (even though it is a non-Zombie-Type monster when it is on the field).

7469: While "Zombie World" is active, can you Tribute Summon a non-Zombie-Type monster?

• The monster's Type is checked when it is in the hand. That is, even though a non-Zombie-Type monster will be a Zombie-Type monster when it's on the field, you cannot Tribute Summon it, since it is not a Zombie-Type monster when it is in your hand.
