Card Rulings:PSY-Frame Accelerator

OCG Rulings

 * The activation of only the card "PSY-Frame Accelerator" can be performed at any time, except during the Damage Step.


 * The effect "Once per turn: You can pay 500 LP, then target 1 "PSY-Frame" monster you control; banish it from the field, but return it in your next Standby Phase" makes a Chain Link. (This effect targets 1 "PSY-Frame Accelerator" that is face-up in your Monster Zone. You pay 500 LP as a cost when this effect is activated.)


 * The card "PSY-Frame Accelerator" can be activated in the same Chain Link as the effect "banish it from the field, but return it in your next Standby Phase". (However, neither the card "PSY-Frame Accelerator" nor this effect can be activated during the Damage Step.)


 * The effect "Once per turn, if another face-up "PSY-Frame" card(s) you control leaves the field, except by battle: You can Special Summon 1 "PSY-Frame" monster from your hand" makes a Chain Link. (It does not target. It cannot be activated during the Damage Step.)


 * The card "PSY-Frame Accelerator" cannot be activated in the same Chain Link as the effect "You can Special Summon 1 "PSY-Frame" monster from your hand".


 * You have no "PSY-Frame" monsters in my hand. If your opponent activates "Compulsory Evacuation Device" and returns your "PSY-Frame Multi-Threader" to your hand, it can be Special Summoned from your hand with the effect of "PSY-Frame Accelerator".


 * If you activate the first effect of "PSY-Frame Accelerator" targeting a "PSY-Frame Multi-Threader" on your field, but the opponent Chains "Book of Moon", changing "PSY-Frame Multi-Threader" to face-down Defense Position, the effect of "PSY-Frame Accelerator" is still applied. Note that if the targeted "PSY-Frame Multi-Threader" was changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of "Book of Moon", "PSY-Frame Multi-Threader" is banished face-down, and will return to the field in face-down Defense Position during your next Standby Phase.


 * If "Phantom of Chaos" leaves the field while it is treated as a "PSY-Frame" monster (such as if it has gained the name and effects of "PSY-Framelord Zeta"), you can activate the second effect of "PSY-Frame Accelerator".


 * If the opponent activates "Raigeki Break" during your Draw Phase and targets your face-up "PSY-Frame Driver", but you Chain the first effect of "PSY-Frame Accelerator" and banish "PSY-Frame Driver", it will return to the field during your next Standby Phase, in other words the Standby Phase of the current turn. (The banished "PSY-Frame Driver" does not return to the field during the Standby Phase of your next turn.)


 * If the opponent activates "Raigeki Break" during your Standby Phase and targets your face-up "PSY-Frame Driver", but you Chain the first effect of "PSY-Frame Accelerator" and banish "PSY-Frame Driver", it will return to the field during your next Standby Phase, in other words the Standby Phase of your next turn following your opponent's turn. (The banished "PSY-Frame Driver" does not return to the field during that same Standby Phase.)

Mentions in Other Rulings

 * Ancient Gear Catapult: If you activate "Ancient Gear Catapult" by targeting a face-up "PSY-Frame Accelerator" you control, but the targeted "PSY-Frame Accelerator" is not destroyed by its effect due to the effect of "PSY-Frame Multi-Threader", since the targeted card was not destroyed, you do not Special Summon an "Ancient Gear" monster from your Deck.
