Structure Deck R – Revival of the Great Divine Dragon

Q: When Arkbrave Dragon is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, will its effect banish any Pendulum Monster Cards on my opponent’s side of the field?
A: If the effect of Arkbrave Dragon that activates when it is Special Summoned from the Graveyard is applied, any Pendulum Monsters in your opponent’s Pendulum Zones, or any Pendulum Monsters treated as Equip Cards, will be banished by this effect, but Pendulum Monsters present in your opponent’s Monster Zone will not be banished.

Q: If the effect of Arkbrave Dragon is activated when it is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, but my opponent chains Book of Moon and changes it to face-down Defense Position, or chains Raigeki Break and destroys it, or chains Compulsory Evacuation Device and returns it to the hand, how does the effect resolve in each case?
A: If the effect of Arkbrave Dragon is activated when it is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, but Book of Moon, Raigeki Break, or Compulsory Evacuation Device is chained so that Arkbrave Dragon is no longer face-up in the Monster Zone, the effect still banishes all face-up Spell and Trap Cards on your opponent’s side of the field. (In that case, since the activated Book of Moon/Raigeki Break/Compulsory Evacuation Device are face-up in your opponent’s Spell & Trap Zone, they are banished by this effect.)

Q: Arkbrave Dragon is sent to the Graveyard by the effect of Foolish Burial. During the End Phase of this turn, if my opponent activates the effect of D.D. Crow, and banishes Arkbrave Dragon from the Graveyard, will the second effect of Arkbrave Dragon activate during the next Standby Phase?
A: The effect of Arkbrave Dragon is an effect that activates in the Graveyard during the Standby Phase of the next turn after Arkbrave Dragon was sent to the Graveyard. Therefore, in this scenario, if Arkbrave Dragon is no longer in the Graveyard by the time you reach the next Standby Phase, you cannot activate its effect.

Q: Arkbrave Dragon is sent to the Graveyard by the effect of Foolish Burial, and then banished by the effect of my opponent’s D.D. Crow. If Burial from a Different Dimension is activated in this case, and the banished Arkbrave Dragon is returned to the Graveyard, will its effect still activate during the Standby Phase of the next turn?
A: The effect of Arkbrave Dragon is an effect that activates in the Graveyard during the Standby Phase of the next turn after Arkbrave Dragon was sent to the Graveyard. Therefore, in this scenario, if Arkbrave Dragon is banished from the Graveyard but then returned to it by the effect of Burial from a Different Dimension, it is no longer treated as having been sent to the Graveyard, so its effect cannot be activated.

Q: If the activation of the second effect of Arkbrave Dragon is negated by Divine Wrath, can the effect be activated again during the next Standby Phase?
A: The second effect of Arkbrave Dragon will only activate once, during the next Standby Phase after it was sent to the Graveyard. Therefore, if the activation of this effect is negated by Divine Wrath, the effect will not activate again during any following Standby Phase. (However, if Arkbrave Dragon is Special Summoned by the effect of Monster Reborn and sent to the Graveyard again, the effect can be activated during the Standby Phase of the next turn.)

A: In this scenario, if 2 copies of Arkbrave Dragon were sent to the Graveyard during the same turn, their effects can each be activated during the Standby Phase of the next turn. In that case, their effects do not form a Chain, but will activate and resolve separately.

Q: Hand Destruction is activated during the Draw Phase, and an Arkbrave Dragon in my hand is sent to the Graveyard. In this case, during the Standby Phase of this turn, can I activate the second effect of Arkbrave Dragon?

If Arkbrave Dragon was sent to the Graveyard, its effect can be activated during the Standby Phase of the next turn. (Therefore, even if Arkbrave Dragon is sent to the Graveyard during the Draw Phase, its effect cannot be activated during the Standby Phase of this turn, but it can be activated during the Standby Phase of the next turn.)

Q: If the second effect of Arkbrave Dragon is activated during the Standby Phase, but Disappear is chained, so that the same Arkbrave Dragon is no longer present in the Graveyard when its effect resolves, does the effect apply?

Q: If a face-down Defense Position Dragon-Type monster on my side of the field would be destroyed by battle, can I apply the effect of Gospel of Revival in my Graveyard?

Q: When Mild Turkey is activated as a Spell Card in the Pendulum Zone, can its Pendulum Effect be activated as part of that Chain Link?
A: The Pendulum Effect of Mild Turkey can only be activated after it has already been activated as a Spell Card in the Pendulum Zone, so the effect will be activated and resolved separately. When Mild Turkey is activated as a Spell Card in the Pendulum Zone, its Pendulum Effect is not applied. (You do not roll a six-sided die.)
