Forum:Some Cyber-related queries

Hey guys! I'm back! And now that nostalgia has gripped over me, I am rebuilding the Cyber OTK! But I wasn't playing when it was originally around, so I have some questions.

(tl,dr; I'm mainly repeating the same questions from different angles, I want to master the rulings of the cards before the cards themselves. Sorry if the queries take a long time to read :S )

1) The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion.
 * a) Using its first effect:
 * i) Can I use it with Future Fusion to Summon Cyber Twin Dragon/Cyber End Dragon/Chimeratech Overdragon? Does the Cyber fusions' "A Fusion Summon of this card can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters" restriction prevent the use of fusion substitutes completely, or are there exceptions? Explain.
 * ii) Likewise, only for Overload Fusion. Explain.
 * iii) Likewise, only for Power Bond. Explain.
 * b) Using the second effect:
 * i) Can I tribute it along with 1/2 monster(s) whose name is Cyber Dragon to Special Summon Cyber Twin Dragon/Cyber End Dragon, or does their "A Fusion Summon of this card can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters" restriction count for Special Summons that are not treated as Fusion Summons too?
 * ii) Are both its effects used, considering you are Special, not Fusion, Summoning?

2) Special Summoning monsters being treated as a Fusion Summon.
 * a) Is that a Fusion Summon in itself, or just a Special Summon? i.e. Can I use Call of the Haunted to revive a Metal Dragon summoned with Future Fusion (which treats the SS as a FS)?
 * b) Can you use Fusion substitutes for such Special Summons, or must it be strictly Fusion Summons (by using Polymerization)?

3) "A Fusion Summon of this card can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters".
 * a) Can you use Fusion substitutes for the Special Summon (not Fusion Summon or "treated as Fusion Summon) of a monster with the above restriction (i.e. like The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion's second effect)?
 * b) Can you use Fusion substitutes for the Special Summon (which is "treated as a Fusion Summon") of a monster with the above restriction (i.e. like Future Fusion)?

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the help, I'd like to make the deck, not break it ;-) --Darth Covah (Talk | DeckZone | Binder) 22:07, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
