Q: If I have Archfiend Eccentrick in my Pendulum Zone, am I able to Special Summon Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Alich, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Rubik, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Calcab, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Libic, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Cagna, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Draghig, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, or Barbar, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss from my hand using their effects?
A: Since Pendulum Monsters in the Pendulum Zones are treated as Spell Cards, even if there are no Spell/Trap Cards in your Spell & Trap Zone, you still have a Spell Card on your side of the field. Therefore, in this situation, you cannot activate the Special Summoning effect of Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, etc.

It should be noted that if Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, etc. is not destroyed by this battle, it is destroyed by its own effect after damage calculation.

Q: If Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss was sent to the Graveyard this turn, but is removed from the Graveyard before the End Phase, can I still activate its effect that adds a Level 3 DARK Fiend-Type monster from my Deck to my hand?
A: The effect of Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss is an effect that activates in the Graveyard, during the End Phase of the turn it was sent to the Graveyard. If Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss is removed from your Graveyard before the End Phase, you cannot activate its effect.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Q: If Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase, can I activate its effect that adds a Level 3 DARK Fiend-Type monster from my Deck to my hand immediately?
A: The effect of Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss does not create a chain at the time it is sent to the Graveyard. Therefore, even if Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss is sent to the Graveyard during the End Phase, you cannot activate its effect immediately at that time. Similarly, if Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss is discarded for your hand size limit, you cannot activate the effect of Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

(This ruling is telling you that the effect does not activate in response to Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss being sent to the Graveyard, like the other “Burning Abyss” monsters, but rather activates in an open gamestate. This ruling does NOT mean that you would not be able to use the effect during the same End Phase; you simply need to wait for the gamestate to open during the End Phase. Although if Scarm, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss is discarded for hand size limit, you do not have an opportunity to activate its effect at all.)

Q: Hero Mask is activated by targeting Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss. In this case, will Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss be destroyed by its own effect?
A: In this scenario, when Hero Mask resolves, Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss is treated as having the name of the “Elemental HERO” monster sent to the Graveyard, and is no longer considered a “Burning Abyss” monster. Therefore, Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss is destroyed by its own effect.

Q: I activate the effect of Barbar, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, by targeting Calcab, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Rubic, and Draghig, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss in my Graveyard.

A: When resolving the effect of Barbar, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss that activates in the Graveyard, even if 1 of the targeted cards is no longer in the Graveyard, the effect is applied normally. (In this scenario, Calcab, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss and Draghig, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss are banished, and your opponent takes 600 damage.)

Q: When activating the effect of Malacoda, Netherlord of the Burning Abyss, do I have to select a target monster that has higher ATK and DEF than the ATK and DEF of the monster I sent from my hand to the Graveyard to activate it?
A: The effect of Malacoda, Netherlord of the Burning Abyss can target any face-up monster on your opponent’s side of the field, even if its ATK and DEF are lower than the ATK and DEF of the monster you send to the Graveyard. For example, if you send Graff, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss (ATK 1000/DEF 1500) from your hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect, you can target Alexandrite Dragon (ATK 2000/DEF 100), resulting in Alexandrite Dragon having 1000 ATK and 0 DEF.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Q: Can the first effect of Malacoda, Netherlord of the Burning Abyss be activated by targeting a monster with 0 ATK and DEF?
A: You can target a monster with 0 ATK and DEF with the effect of Malacoda, Netherlord of the Burning Abyss. For example, you can activate this effect by sending Libic, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss (ATK 1300/DEF 700) from your hand to the Graveyard, targeting Battle Fader (ATK 0/DEF 0). Battle Fader will still have 0 ATK and DEF, but because the effect of Malacoda, Netherlord of the Burning Abyss was applied, even if Battle Fader is then equipped with United We Stand and its ATK/DEF are increased, you must recalculate its ATK/DEF and include the decreased values.

A: Even if a monster that you sent to the Graveyard to activate the effect of Malacoda, Netherlord of the Burning Abyss is no longer in the Graveyard when this effect resolves, the effect is applied normally. (In this scenario, since Cir, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss was sent to the Graveyard, the targeted monster loses 1600 ATK and 1200 DEF.)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Q: If a Dante, Pilgrim of the Burning Abyss that I own changes control to my opponent by the effect of Creature Swap, and then it is destroyed by battle or card effect, can the effect that sends 1 random card from the opponent’s hand to the Graveyard be activated?
A: Even if Dante, Pilgrim of the Burning Abyss switched control to your opponent’s side of the field, and is then destroyed by battle, you can then activate its effect that sends 1 random card from your opponent’s hand to the Graveyard. (You, the owner of Dante, Pilgrim of the Burning Abyss, can activate the effect.) Also, if Dante, Pilgrim of the Burning Abyss switched control to your opponent’s side of the field, and is then sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, the effect that sends 1 random card from your opponent’s hand to the Graveyard cannot be activated.

A: Since you can only have 1 face-up Virgil, Rock Star of the Burning Abyss on your side of the field, in this scenario, you must destroy 1 of the 2 copies that are flipped face-up.

A: The effect of Virgil, Rock Star of the Burning Abyss cannot be activated if there are no cards on your opponent’s side of the field and Graveyard. In a situation in which your opponent does have cards on their side of the field or Graveyard, you can activate the effect of Virgil, Rock Star of the Burning Abyss by discarding your opponent’s Calcab, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss in your hand, and then target that same Calcab, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss to shuffle it into the Deck.

A: If the effect of Dante, Traveler of the Burning Abyss is activated, it only gains 500 ATK for each card that was sent from the Deck to the Graveyard to activate the effect, and not the detached Xyz Material.

Q: The effect of U.A. Midfielder is activated by targeting U.A. Goalkeeper. If Vanity’s Emptiness is chained to this effect, how does the effect of U.A. Midfielder resolve?
A: In this scenario, if Vanity’s Emptiness is applying when the effect of U.A. Midfielder resolves, you will not be able to Special Summon monsters, so the part of the effect that returns the targeted monster to the hand is applied, but you cannot Special Summon a different monster from your hand. (In this situation, U.A. Goalkeeper returns to the hand and the effect finishes resolving.) Also, while the effect of Vanity’s Emptiness is already applying, the effect of U.A. Midfielder cannot be activated.
