Q1 Q2763
Does a "may digivolve this card as if the Tamer is a Digimon" effect also treat the Tamer that will become a digivolution card as a Digimon when it digivolves?
Show ruling
Yes, it also treats the Tamer as a Digimon when it digivolves. It treats it as a Digimon that digivolves, therefore "when a Digimon would digivolve" effects and "when a Digimon digivolves" effects will trigger. In addition, if a "Digimon can't digivolve" effect activates, digivolution won't be possible using this effect that also treats the Tamer as a Digimon.

Q2 Q2764
When using the [Koji Minamoto]: Cost 2 digivolution requirement to digivolve, can I use a "may digivolve this card as if the Tamer is a Digimon" effect to treat that [Koji Minamoto] as a Digimon for digivolving?
Show ruling
Yes, you can. If you do, it's treated as a Digimon that digivolves, therefore "when a Digimon would digivolve" effects and "when a Digimon digivolves" effects will trigger. In addition, if a "Digimon can't digivolve" effect activates, it won't be possible to use this effect to treat that Tamer as a Digimon.

Q4 Q2766
If this card digivolves from a Tamer that was played this turn, can it attack in the same turn?
Show ruling
No, it can't. Even if a card digivolves from a card that was placed on the field in the same turn, it can't attack during that turn. It can only attack in the turns after it's played.

Q5 Q2767
Does a Tamer card placed under a Digimon become a digivolution card?

Q6 Q2768
When I use this card's 2nd [When Attacking] effect to digivolve into a Digimon card with the [Hybrid] trait in the hand, can it digivolve regardless of its digivolution requirements?
Show ruling
No, this card's [When Attacking] effect does not allow ignoring digivolution requirements, so you can only digivolve into a card that meets the digivolution requirements.

Q7 Q2769
When this card attacks, which of its 2 [When Attacking] effects activate first?
Show ruling
They trigger simultaneously, so the turn player chooses the effect to activate first. However, if you activate the 2nd [When Attacking] effect first and digivolve, the 1st [When Attacking] can no longer be activated.

Q8 Q4660
Can I choose to not digivolve with this card's 1st effect?
Show ruling
No, you can't. For this card's 1st effect, you declare a digivolution, then upon revealing this card, you can also choose a Tamer as the card to digivolve, and that Tamer is also treated as a level 3 Digimon. As with the normal digivolution procedure, after revealing this card and declaring a digivolution, you can't choose to not digivolve. In addition, you can't declare digivolution into this card in the first place unless there is a card on the field that you can digivolve.
