Aluber The Jester of Despia - GFP2-EN097 - Ultra Rare - 1st Edition

Product Information

A: To activate Lubellion's effect in the first place, you need to be able to perform a Fusion Summon using only your monsters that are currently on the field, in the GY, and/or banished face-up. Q: I have previously resolved Pot of Prosperity. If I Fusion Summon Guardian Chimera, can I activate its effect? Q: I activate Branded Fusion, but its activation is negated by Solemn Judgment. Can I still Link Summon Predaplant Verte Anaconda?

Q: If I Fusion Summon Mirrorjade, and it is then flipped face-down, or banished temporarily, and then leaves the field, can its effect be activated? A: In this scenario, Despian Tragedy was sent to the GY by Branded Opening's effect. Therefore, its effect can be activated. Q: I have activated and resolved Mirrorjade's Trigger Effect. By the time we reach the End Phase, my opponent controls Despian Quaeritis. Am I still forced to destroy all monsters my opponent controls? A: Fallen of Albaz' effect requires you to include it as Fusion Material, regardless of which player controls it. If possible, you will still perform a Fusion Summon using that Fallen of Albaz, which your opponent controls, and other monsters on their side of the field.

Q: If a Fusion Summoned Mirrorjade is Tributed by my opponent to Special Summon Lava Golem, to Normal Summon The Winged Dragon Of Ra - Sphere Mode, or sent to the GY by my opponent to Special Summon Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon, or used as material by my opponent to Link Summon Underworld Goddess of the Closed World, etc., can its effect be activated? A: When you perform a Fusion Summon using Fallen of Albaz' effect, you must include that Fallen of Albaz itself as Fusion Material. Therefore, since you cannot perform a Fusion Summon, nothing happens. Q: I Fusion Summon Guardian Chimera, and activate its effect. In response, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit's effect resolves, destroying Guardian Chimera. Do I still draw and destroy cards? A: No, it cannot. That copy of Mirrorjade was not Fusion Summoned. (It was Summoned by Ad Libitum's effect.) A: When Mirrorjade's effect resolves, you must attempt to banish a monster on the field. If Mirrorjade is the only monster on the field that you can attempt to banish, you must banish Mirrorjade itself.

Solemn Strike: When a monster(s) would be Special Summoned, OR a monster effect is activated: Pay 1500 LP; negate the Summon or activation, and if you do, destroy that card. Q: I activate the effect of Ad Libitum of Despia by targeting a Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon in my GY. If my opponent resolves D.D. Crow's effect in response, banishing that same Mirrorjade, what happens?

A: Yes. You only choose the monster you want to Fusion Summon, and the materials you want to use, when Lubellion's effect resolves. In this case, you can choose to Fusion Summon Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon using Lubellion and Fallen of Albaz, both of which are in your GY. Albion the Shrouded Dragon is, sadly, another card in the ever growing list of "Cards that look to be very good but, upon closer inspection, reveal themselves for what they are: mid at best, and not worth playing much." A: No. If Flower Cardian Lightshower's effects are already negated, you cannot activate Aluber's effect by targeting it. Q: When resolving Lubellion's effect, can I use a The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion from my GY to Fusion Summon Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon?

More than decent card that functions both as a handtrap, and as a starter/extender in later game states. Q: When resolving Lubellion's effect, can I use a face-down "Fallen of Albaz" I control as Fusion Material? A: No. Aluber's effect in the GY is activated by targeting 1 Effect Monster your opponent controls. If your opponent does not control an Effect Monster you can target, you cannot activate Aluber's effect. Q: I Normal Summon Aluber the Jester of Despia, and resolve its effect. Can I add "Branded Fusion" to my hand?A: Yes, you can activate Mirrorjade's Trigger Effect even if your opponent does not currently control any monsters. It will resolve normally, and will still destroy all monsters your opponent controls during the End Phase. A: No, you cannot. You can only control 1 face-up "Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon", and cannot attempt to Summon another copy if you already do. Q: I resolve Branded Fusion, and use Despian Tragedy as Fusion Material for the Fusion Summon. Can I then activate Despian Tragedy's effect that adds a "Despia" monster to my hand? A: Yes. In all of these scenarios, your opponent made Mirrorjade leave the field, and its effect can be activated.

When Lubellion's effect then resolves, you choose a Fusion Monster to Summon, and the materials to use. Q: I control Predaplant Dragostapelia, and my opponent controls a Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon. My opponent activates Mirrorjade's effect, and I activate Predaplant Dragostapelia's effect in response. My opponent then further activates Book of Moon targeting Mirrorjade. What happens? Plenty of cards to choose from to search with Aluber, 10 in total, eight spell, two trap. The traps need setup in place to be effective, and of the spells you can search, Despia, Theater of the Branded does give you a Fusion Summon once per turn as a Field Spell. Branded Bond, Branded Opening, Branded in Red, and Branded in White also give you immediate offensive power and access to your Fusion Monsters, but Despia Theater can be multiple turns in a row. Paradise Branded is good protection for your Fusion Monsters but again, isn’t very useful if you don’t already have a Fusion Monster on the field. Q: If I Special Summoned a banished Mirrorjade using the effect of Ad Libitum of Despia, can that Mirrorjade then activate its effect if it leaves the field? A: Despian Tragedy's effect can be activated if it is sent to the GY by a card effect, or banished by a card effect. It cannot be activated if Despian Tragedy is sent to the GY as a cost to activate an effect.A: No, they cannot. In this situation, Ad Libitum's effect does not include an effect to Special Summon from the GY. A: If Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora is unaffected by Fallen of Albaz' effect, you cannot attempt to use it as Fusion Material using that effect. Therefore: Q: My opponent activates Torrential Tribute, and my Super Polymerization resolves in response, Fusion Summoning Lubellion the Searing Dragon. Lubellion is then destroyed by Torrential Tribute. Can I activate its effect? A: As there is no longer a Predator Counter on Dinowrestler Pankratops by the time its effect resolves, that effect will not be negated by Predaplant Dragostapelia's effect.
