 * If your "Majestic Star Dragon" negates the effect of "Morphtronic Celfon" while "Morphtronic Celfon" is in Attack Position, then you may activate either the "● While in Attack Position:" or the "● While in Defense Position:" effect from "Morphtronic Celfon", as appropriate for the Battle Position of "Majestic Star Dragon".


 * If a monster's effects are already being negated by an effect like "Forbidden Chalice" or "Debris Dragon", then you may not choose it as a target for the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" which negates the effects of a monster.

If "Majestic Star Dragon" negates the effect of a monster like "Neo-Spacian Dark Panther" or "Phantom of Chaos" and then uses the negated monster's effect to gain the effects of another Effect Monster, then you cannot activate the effect of the other Effect Monster because you already activated the effect of "Phantom of Chaos".

 * You may not select a Gemini Monster that is being treated as a Normal Monster as a target for the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" which negates effects. If "Majestic Star Dragon" negates the effect of a Gemini Monster like "Gigaplant" or "Doom Shaman", then the Gemini Monster no longer has its effect which is listed by the "●", so therefore "Majestic Star Dragon" may not activate the Gemini Monster's effect which is listed by the "●".


 * If a monster whose effects are negated by "Majestic Star Dragon" is no longer face-up on the field, then you may still activate the monster's effect as the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon", as long as it is still the same turn in which the effects were negated.


 * The effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" which returns it to the Extra Deck during the End Phase and Special Summons "Stardust Dragon" is mandatory, so it will activate even if "Vanity's Fiend" or "Jowgen the Spiritualist" are face-up on the field. In this case, "Majestic Star Dragon" will return itself to the Extra Deck, but "Stardust Dragon" will not be Special Summoned.

If "Majestic Star Dragon" negates the effects of a monster like "Sangan", then when "Sangan" is sent to the Graveyard its effect of adding a card from the Deck to the hand is not negated.


 * You may Synchro Summon "Majestic Star Dragon" by using a "Stardust Dragon" which is being treated as a Tuner Monster. If a non-Tuner Monster has its name treated as "Majestic Dragon" and "Stardust Dragon" is being treated as a Tuner Monster, then you may Synchro Summon "Majestic Star Dragon" by using the non-Tuner "Majestic Dragon", the Tuner "Stardust Dragon", and one other non-Tuner Monster as Synchro Material Monsters.


 * The effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" which returns it to the Extra Deck during the End Phase targets one "Stardust Dragon" in your Graveyard. If there is no "Stardust Dragon" in your Graveyard, then this effect still activates; "Majestic Star Dragon" is still returned to the Extra Deck, but no "Stardust Dragon" is Special Summoned.


 * "Majestic Star Dragon" can only activate the effect of an opponent's monster as its own effect if "Majestic Star Dragon" is face-up on the field. Thus, if "Majestic Star Dragon" negates the effects of a monster like "Sangan" whose effect activates in the Graveyard, then when "Majestic Star Dragon" is sent to the Graveyard you may not activate the effect of "Sangan" as the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon".


 * If "Majestic Star Dragon" negates the effects of a monster like "King Tiger Wanghu" with a mandatory Trigger Effect, then when a monster with 1400 ATK or less is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned the controller of "Majestic Star Dragon" may choose whether or not the effect of "King Tiger Wanghu" activates as the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon". If a monster is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned at Chain Link 2 or higher, then after the Chain finishes resolving you may activate the effect of "King Tiger Wanghu" as the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon", without missing the timing.


 * In general, the effect "Once, you may activate an effect which belongs to the negated monster as the effect of this card." of "Majestic Star Dragon" may only activate an effect which starts a Chain Link. Thus, you can only activate a negated monster's Ignition Effect, Trigger Effect, or Quick Effect as the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon".


 * If the activation timing of an effect is not correct, then you cannot activate the effect as the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon".


 * If a Spell or Trap Card is face-up on the field and its effect activates, then the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" may be activated in Chain to the effect to negate its activation and destroy all cards your opponent controls.


 * If the effect of "G.B. Hunter" is active, then during the End Phase the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" to return itself to the Extra Deck still activates. However, "Majestic Star Dragon" cannot be returned to the Extra Deck, so when resolving the effect "Majestic Star Dragon" is not returned to the Extra Deck and "Stardust Dragon" is not Special Summoned.


 * If "Majestic Star Dragon" negates the effects of a monster like "Armed Dragon LV5" with multiple effects, then you can activate the effects of the negated monster as the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" a total of once. Thus, if you activate the effect "Armed Dragon LV5" which destroys a monster as the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon", then later on you cannot activate the effect of "Armed Dragon LV5" which Special Summons "Armed Dragon LV7" as the effect of "Majestic Star Dragon".


 * The effect of "Majestic Star Dragon" which returns it to the Extra Deck and Special Summons "Stardust Dragon" during the End Phase is a mandatory effect. The player must activate the effect; he cannot choose to not activate the effect and leave "Majestic Star Dragon" on the field.
