Q&A Rulings
- Q: "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" is face-up on my field in Attack Position. If my opponent activates "Dark Hole", but also chains "Zero Gravity" and changes "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" to Defense Position, will "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" be destroyed?
- A: The effect of "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" that prevents it from being destroyed by your opponent's card effects while in Attack Position is a Continuous Effect. In this scenario, since "Zero Gravity" was chained to "Dark Hole", "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" will be in Defense Position when "Dark Hole" resolves, and it will be destroyed normally by the effect.[1]
- Q: "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" is face-up on my field in Defense Position. In this situation, if my opponent Normal Summons "Gogogo Giant" in Attack Position and activates its effect, will it be negated?
- A: The effect of "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" that changes monsters to Defense Position and negates effects activated by monsters in Defense Position is a Continuous Effect. In this scenario, the "Gogogo Giant" Normal Summoned by your opponent in Attack Position is immediately changed to Defense Position before your opponent decides whether or not to activate its effect. Therefore, if your opponent activates the effect, it will be an effect activated by a monster in Defense Position, so it is negated by the effect of "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir".[2]
- Q: "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" is face-up on my field in Defense Position. In this situation, if my opponent activates the effect of their Defense Position "Lonefire Blossom" by Tributing it, will the effect be negated?
- A: In this scenario, although "Lonefire Blossom" is Tributed to activate its effect, it was activated while "Lonefire Blossom" was in Defense Position, so it is negated by the effect of "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir".[3]
- Q: "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" is face-up on my field in Defense Position. In this situation, if my opponent Xyz Summons a "Gagaga Cowboy" in Defense Position, then activates its effect that inflicts 800 damage, will the effect be negated?
- A: In this scenario, "Gagaga Cowboy" is Special Summoned in Defense Position, but even though its battle position is not changed by the effect of "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir", its effect was still activated while in Defense Position, so it is negated by the effect of "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir".[4]
- Q: My opponent activates the effect of a Defense Position "Summoner Monk" that Special Summons a Level 4 monster from the Deck. If I chain "Back to the Front", and Special Summon a "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" from my Graveyard in Defense Position, will the effect of "Summoner Monk" be negated?
- A: The effect of "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" that changes monsters to Defense Position and negates effects activated by monsters in Defense Position is a Continuous Effect. In this scenario, since the effect of "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" is applying when the effect activated by a Defense Position "Summoner Monk" resolves, the effect of Summoner Monk is negated.[5]
- Q: "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir" is face-up in my opponent's Extra Monster Zone, in Defense Position. In this situation, when my opponent activates "Mystical Space Typhoon" and targets my Set "Oasis of Dragon Souls", I chain that "Oasis of Dragon Souls" and Special Summon a "Thunderclap Skywolf" from my Graveyard. How does each effect resolve?
- A: In this scenario, "Thunderclap Skywolf" is Special Summoned in Defense Position by the effect of "Oasis of Dragon Souls", but due to the effect of "Mystical Space Typhoon", it will be destroyed and sent to the Graveyard again. Even in this case, although you can activate the effect of "Thunderclap Skywolf" that destroys all face-up monsters on your opponent's field, it is considered an effect that was activated due to "Thunderclap Skywolf" being Special Summoned in Defense Position, and is negated by the effect of "Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir".[6]
