9200: Can "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World" use its effect to Special Summon itself from the Graveyard when it is sent to the Graveyard by the effect of "Hand Destruction" or "Veil of Darkness"?
 * The effect of a monster like "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World" only activates when it is "discarded to the Graveyard" from the hand by a card effect. The effects of "Hand Destruction" and "Veil of Darkness" "send to the Graveyard" the cards - this is not the same as "discard to the Graveyard".  Thus, if a monster like "Sillva, Warlord of Dark World" is sent to the Graveyard by these effects, then you cannot activate its effect.

9201: If "Dimensional Fissure" is active, then can you discard a Spell or Trap Card as an activation cost for "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier"?
 * You can activate the effect of "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" by discarding Spell and Trap Cards even if the effect of "Dimensional Fissure" is active and removing from play all monsters to be sent to the Graveyard. However, if the effect of "Dimensional Fissure" is active, then you cannot discard monsters to the Graveyard since they would be removed from play instead of being sent to the Graveyard, so you cannot activate the effect of "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" by discarding Monster Cards.

9202: Can you still Fusion Summon by activating "Polymerization" if "Macro Cosmos" is on the field?
 * You can still activate cards like "Polymerization" or "Power Bond" and Fusion Summon while the effect of "Macro Cosmos" is active and removing from play the Fusion Material Monsters instead of having them sent to the Graveyard. If "Polymerization" is activated while "Macro Cosmos" is active, then the Fusion Material Monsters to be sent to the Graveyard will be removed from play instead, and the Fusion Monster will still be Fusion Summoned from the Extra Deck.

9203: If the effects of "Honest" and "Necro Gardna" are activated, then the effect is treated as activating where?
 * The ATK-increasing effect of "Honest" is considered to activate in the hand. Thus, if the effect of "Light-Imprisoning Mirror" is active, then the effect of "Honest" will not be negated.  If "Necro Gardna" activates its effect by removing itself from play from the Graveyard, then the effect is considered to activate in the Graveyard.  Thus, if the effect of "Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror" is active, then the activated effect of "Necro Gardna" will be negated.

9204: Konami FAQ: After gaining control of a monster by "Mind Control", can you use it as a Synchro Material?]
 * When a monster is sent to the Graveyard for a Synchro Summon, the monster is not treated as being "Tributed". Thus, if gain control of a monster by "Mind Control", then you can send it to the Graveyard as a Synchro Material Monster even though you cannot Tribute the monster.
