Card Rulings:Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon

OCG Rulings

 * This card be Special Sumoned using 2 different methods, you can use "Polymerization" or similar cards, using 1 DARK Dragon-Type monster and 1 Beast-Type monster as Fusion Materials or Tribute 1 DARK Dragon-Type monster and 1 Beast-Type monster you control. (Both methods are treated as being properly Special Summoned.)


 * If you use "Polymerization" or similar cards, this card is Fusion Summoned after "Polymerization" resolves. Special Summoning this card by Tributing 1 DARK Dragon-Type monster and 1 Beast-Type monster you control does not start a Chain Link.


 * The "If this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the Beast-Type Fusion Material Monster used to Special Summon this card." effect is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target. It is a mandatory effect that is activated at the end of the Damage Step.)


 * This effect cannot be activated if this card battles a monster with the same ATK, and both monsters are destroyed.


 * Even if the control of this card that was Special Summoned using "Performapal Silver Claw" as a Fusion Material was switched to your opponent, the "If this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the Beast-Type Fusion Material Monster used to Special Summon this card." effect is applied normally. (In this case, since your opponent activates the effect of "Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon", you will take damage. Since the original ATK of "Performapal Silver Claw" is 1800, you will take 1800 damage.)


 * If this card is Fusion Summoned using "Polymerization", since this card is Special Summoned when "Polymerization" resolves, "Horn of Heaven" or the effect of "Thunder King Rai-Oh" cannot be activated. If this card is Special Summoned by Tributing monsters, "Horn of Heaven" or the effect of "Thunder King Rai-Oh" can be activated.


 * This card "Must be Fusion Summoned, or Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) by Tributing the above cards you control (You do not use "Polymerization"), and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways.". Therefore, even if this card is properly Special Summoned, it cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard using "Monster Reborn".


 * Even if the Beast-Type monster that was used to Special Summon this card is not in the Graveyard, the "If this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the Beast-Type Fusion Material Monster used to Special Summon this card." effect is applied normally. If this card is Special Summoned using "Performapal Silver Claw", even if that is not in the Graveyard, since the original ATK of "Performapal Silver Claw" is 1800, your opponent will take 1800 damage.


 * Even if the effect of "Macro Cosmos" is being applied, the "If this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the Beast-Type Fusion Material Monster used to Special Summon this card." effect is applied normally.


 * This card can be Special Summoneed by Tributing face-down monsters you control. You must Tribute 1 DARK Dragon-Type monster and 1 Beast-Type monster.


 * If this card is Special Summoned using a "Performapal Silver Claw" whose original ATK was halved by "Shrink", the "If this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the Beast-Type Fusion Material Monster used to Special Summon this card." effect is applied normally. Since the original ATK written on "Performapal Silver Claw" is 1800, your opponent will take 1800 damage. (Even if the original ATK was changed when the card was used as a Fusion Material Monster, the damage does not change.)


 * If this card is flipped face-down by "Book of Moon", and later flipped face-up, the "If this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the Beast-Type Fusion Material Monster used to Special Summon this card." effect is activated normally, but your opponent will not take any damage. (This is also applied if this card is banished by "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", and later returns to the field.)


 * If this card is Fusion Summoned using "Polymerization" on a "Performapal Silver Claw" on the hand and a "Des Koala" on the field treated as a Dragon-Type by the effect of "DNA Surgery", "Des Koala" is used as the DARK Dragon-Type monster and "Performapal Silver Claw" is used as the Beast-Type monster. If the "If this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the Beast-Type Fusion Material Monster used to Special Summon this card." effect is activated, since the original ATK of "Performapal Silver Claw" is 1800, your opponent will take 1800 damage.


 * If this card is Special Summoned using "Embodiment of Apophis" treated as a Beast-Type by the effect of "DNA Surgery", the "If this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the Beast-Type Fusion Material Monster used to Special Summon this card." effect is applied normally. Since the original ATK of "Embodiment of Apophis" is 1600, your opponent will take 1600 damage.


 * If this card is Special Summoned using "Kagemusha Raccoon Token", the "If this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the Beast-Type Fusion Material Monster used to Special Summon this card." effect is applied normally. Since the original ATK of "Kagemusha Raccoon Token" is 0, your opponent will not take any damage.


 * If this card is Special Summoned by Tributing monsters, it is not treated as being Fusion Summoned, but the Tributed monsters are treated as Fusion Material Monsters. Therefore, the "If this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the Beast-Type Fusion Material Monster used to Special Summon this card." effect is applied normally.


 * If this card is Special Summoned by Tributing monsters, it is not treated as being Fusion Summoned. Therefore, if "De-Fusion" is activated, this card is returned to the Extra Deck, but the "if all the Fusion Material Monsters that were used for its Fusion Summon are in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon all of them." is not applied.
