Card Rulings:Subterror Nemesis Warrior

OCG Rulings

 * The effect "During either player's turn: You can send 1 "Subterror" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard; Tribute this card and at least 1 other monster so the total original Levels Tributed equal or exceed the Level of that "Subterror" monster in the Graveyard, and if you do, Special Summon that monster in face-up or face-down Defense Position" is a Quick Effect that activates on the field. (It does not target. It cannot be activated during the Damage Step.)


 * Sending 1 "Subterror" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard is a cost to activate the effect "Special Summon that monster in face-up or face-down Defense Position".


 * The resolution of "Tribute this card and at least 1 other monster so the total original Levels Tributed equal or exceed the Level of that "Subterror" monster in the Graveyard" and the resolution of "Special Summon that monster in face-up or face-down Defense Position" are considered to happen at the same time.


 * The effect "If a "Subterror Behemoth" monster is flipped face-up while this card is in your Graveyard: You can Special Summon this card" is a Trigger Effect that activates in the Graveyard. (It does not target.)


 * A "Metal Reflect Slime" treated as a Monster Card in your Monster Zone can be Tributed by the effect of "Subterror Nemesis Warrior". If you activate the effect of "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" by sending a Level 12 "Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus" from your Deck to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon "Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus" by Tributing "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" and "Metal Reflect Slime".


 * Since the total original Levels of the monsters Tributed by the effect of "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" must equal or exceed the Level of the "Subterror" monster in the Graveyard, Xyz Monsters and Link Monsters that do not have a Level cannot be Tributed. Even if you activate the effect of "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" by sending "Subterror Nemesis Archer" from your Deck to the Graveyard, you cannot Tribute "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" and 1 Xyz Monster (or Link Monster) when the effect resolves.


 * Suppose "Subterror Nemesis Warrior", "Subterror Behemoth Voltelluric", and "Subterror Behemoth Phospheroglacier" are face-up in your Main Monster Zone, you activate the effect of "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" by sending "Subterror Behemoth Speleogeist" from your Deck to the Graveyard, and your opponent activates "Enemy Controller" in a Chain, taking control of "Subterror Nemesis Warrior". In this case, even if control of "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" was changed to your opponent, "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" still Tributes itself. Also, you Tribute either "Subterror Behemoth Voltelluric" or "Subterror Behemoth Phospheroglacier" in your Monster Zone, and perform the Special Summon of "Subterror Behemoth Speleogeist".


 * Suppose "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" and "Subterror Behemoth Phospheroglacier" are face-up in your Main Monster Zone, you activate the effect of "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" by sending "Subterror Behemoth Ultramafus" from your Deck to the Graveyard, and your opponent activates "Compulsory Evacuation Device" in a Chain, returning "Subterror Behemoth Phospheroglacier" to the hand. In this case, the Level 4 "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" is the only monster in your Monster Zone when the effect resolves, but the resolution of "Tribute this card and at least 1 other monster so the total original Levels Tributed equal or exceed the Level of that "Subterror" monster in the Graveyard" is still performed, and "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" is Tributed. (The Special Summon is not performed.)


 * Suppose "Subterror Nemesis Warrior", "Subterror Behemoth Voltelluric", and "Subterror Behemoth Phospheroglacier" are face-up in your Main Monster Zone, you activate the effect of "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" by sending "Subterror Behemoth Speleogeist" from your Deck to the Graveyard, and your opponent activates "Compulsory Evacuation Device" in a Chain, returning "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" to the hand. In this case, even if "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" is no longer on the field when the effect resolves, the resolution of "Tribute this card and at least 1 other monster so the total original Levels Tributed equal or exceed the Level of that "Subterror" monster in the Graveyard" is still performed, but the Special Summon is not performed. (In this case, "Subterror Behemoth Voltelluric" and "Subterror Behemoth Phospheroglacier" are Tributed.)


 * Suppose "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" and "Subterror Behemoth Dragossuary" are face-up in your Main Monster Zone, you activate the effect of "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" by sending "Subterror Behemoth Stalagmo" from your Deck to the Graveyard, and your opponent activates the effect of "D.D. Crow" in a Chain, banishing "Subterror Behemoth Stalagmo" from the Graveyard. In this case, even if "Subterror Behemoth Stalagmo" is no longer in the Graveyard when the effect resolves, the resolution of "Tribute this card and at least 1 other monster so the total original Levels Tributed equal or exceed the Level of that "Subterror" monster in the Graveyard" is still performed, but the Special Summon is not performed. (In this case, "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" and "Subterror Behemoth Dragossuary" are Tributed.)


 * If a "Subterror Behemoth" monster you control is flipped face-up by an opponent's attack, the effect "You can Special Summon this card" of a "Subterror Nemesis Warrior" in the Graveyard can be activated after damage calculation. If the monster that was flipped face-up is "Subterror Behemoth Stygokraken", its effect "FLIP: You can target Set cards on the field, equal to the number of "Subterror Behemoth" monsters you control; destroy them" can also be activated. If both effects are activated, their effects are activated in a Chain in any order.
