Q&A Rulings
- Q: My "Shinobi Insect Hagakuremino" is in the Extra Monster Zone, pointing to a face-down Defense Position monster in my Main Monster Zone. In this situation, if "Dark Hole" is activated and both monsters are destroyed, can I activate the effect of "Shinobi Insect Hagakuremino" that Special Summons a Level 4 or lower Insect monster from my hand or Graveyard?
- A: In this scenario, "Shinobi Insect Hagakuremino" was destroyed by the effect of "Dark Hole" at the same time as the monster it was pointing to. The effect of "Shinobi Insect Hagakuremino" that Special Summons a Level 4 or lower Insect monster from your hand or Graveyard is a Trigger Effect that activates on the field, so in this case, you cannot activate it.[2]
