Card Rulings:Xyz Encore

OCG Rulings

 * This card cannot be activated during the Damage Step.


 * Neither player can activate cards and effects in response to this card's activation.


 * If no Monster Cards are detached from the targeted Xyz Monster, "detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is considered the last thing to happen when the card resolves.


 * If a Monster Card is detached from the targeted Xyz Monster, "Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position." is considered the last thing to happen when the card resolves. ("detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is not considered the last thing to happen when the card resolves.)


 * While the effect of "Vanity's Emptiness" is being applied, you cannot Special Summon monsters. If an Xyz Monster only have Spell/Trap Cards as Xyz Materials, since you will not Special Summon any monster, you can activate "Xyz Encore" by targeting that Xyz Monster. (This card cannot be activated by targeting an Xyz Monster with Monster Cards as Xyz Materials.)


 * If "Xyz Encore" targets a "Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer" that have "Photon Thrasher" and "Denkou Sekka" as Xyz Materials, "detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is applied, and since a Monster Card was detached, "Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position." is also applied. In this case, "Denkou Sekka" cannot be Special Summoned, but "Photon Thrasher" is Special Summoned normally.


 * If "Xyz Encore" targets an Xyz Monster whose only Xyz Material is "Phantom Knights Shadow Veil", "detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is applied, but since "Phantom Knights Shadow Veil" is not a Monster Card, "Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position." is not applied. ("detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is considered the last thing to happen when the card resolves.)


 * This card can be activated while the effect of "Macro Cosmos" is being applied. "detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is applied, but since the Xyz Materials are banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard, "Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position." is not applied. ("detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is considered the last thing to happen when the card resolves.)


 * This card can be activated while the effect of "Necrovalley" is being applied. "detach all Xyz Materials from it, and if you do, return it to the Extra Deck" is applied, but "Special Summon as many of those monsters as possible from the Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in face-up Defense Position." is negated by "Necrovalley" and is not applied.
