Card Rulings:Mask Change

OCG Rulings

• This card cannot be activated during the Damage Step.

• This is not treated as a Fusion Summon.

• When "Mask Change" resolves, if the targeted monster is no longer on the field, since it cannot be sent to the Graveyard, you cannot Special Summon a "Masked HERO" monster from your Extra Deck.

• When "Mask Change" resolves, even if the targeted monster is face-down, it is sent to the Graveyard and you Special Summon a "Masked HERO" monster from your Extra Deck. In this case, the Special Summoned "Masked HERO" monster must have the same Attribute as the original Attribute of the targeted monster.

• Even if the targeted monster is banished by the effect of "Macro Cosmos", you can Special Summon 1 "Masked HERO" monster with the same Attribute as the targeted monster.

• If a monster whose original name does not include "HERO" is being treated as an "Elemental HERO" monster by the effect of "Hero Mask", "Mask Change" can be activated targeting that monster.

• "Masked HERO Goka" can be targeted by "De-Fusion". In that case, "Masked HERO Goka" is returned to the Extra Deck, but "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. (The monster targeted by "Mask Change" is not a Fusion Material Monster.)

• "Mask Change" and "Mask Change II" can be activated even if the effect of "Non-Fusion Area" is being applied. "Mask Change" and "Mask Change II" Special Summon a "Masked HERO" Fusion Monster, but this is not a Fusion Summon.

• A face-down "HERO" monster cannot be targeted by "Mask Change".
