Question 1

What does an "is also treated as a Digimon with X000 DP" effect do, exactly?

Accepted Answer

It causes that card to also be treated as a Digimon with X000 DP. For example, if a Tamer is also treated as a Digimon, it can attack like a standard Digimon, and it will gain inherited effects from cards stacked under it. However, even if a Tamer is played and then treated as a Digimon in the same turn, it can't attack during that turn.

Question 2

If a Tamer is also treated as a Digimon using an "is also treated as a Digimon with X000 DP" effect, is it no longer considered a Tamer?

Accepted Answer

No, it is treated as both a Digimon and a Tamer.

Question 3

If a Tamer is also treated as a Digimon using an "is also treated as a Digimon with X000 DP" effect and it activates an effect, is it treated as both a Digimon effect and a Tamer effect?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's treated as an effect of both. Because the card is treated as both a Digimon and a Tamer, the activated effect is treated as both a Digimon effect and a Tamer effect.

Question 4

If a Tamer is also treated as a Digimon using an "is also treated as a Digimon with X000 DP" effect, then another effect causes its DP to become 0, is it deleted upon a rule check?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's deleted upon the rule check timing.

Question 5

If this card's [On Play] [When Digivolving] effect is used to treat [Marcus Damon] as a Digimon, can I use the part of the effect after "then" to attack using that [Marcus Damon]?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can attack.

Question 6

If this card's [On Play] [When Digivolving] effect is used to treat [Marcus Damon] as a Digimon, can I choose to not attack using the part of the effect after "then"?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can.

Question 7

Does this card's [All Turns] effect also trigger when a [Marcus Damon] treated as a Digimon is deleted?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it triggers.

Question 8

If a Tamer is also treated as a Digimon using an "is also treated as a Digimon with X000 DP" effect, and later it gains another "is also treated as a Digimon with X000 DP" effect, what happens?

Accepted Answer

If an effect has triggered and the card is affected by a "is also treated as a Digimon with X000 DP" effect, the play cost, level, and DP are overwritten by the newer effect.  However, if an effect has already activated and the card is affected by a "is also treated as a Digimon with X000 DP" effect, the already activated effect will be overwritten.  Any other effects such as <Rush> that are later gained will be added.

Question 9

Can I gain memory using an effect on a Tamer that's treated as a Digimon with X000 DP due to an effect while my opponent has "your opponent can't gain memory other than by Tamer effects" activated?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. When an effect is activated on a card that's treated as both a Digimon and a Tamer, the effect is treated as both a Digimon effect and a Tamer effect, therefore you can gain memory.

Question 10

If an opponent's card has "isn't affected by Digimon effects" and it's chosen for an "is also treated as a Digimon with X000 DP" Tamer effect that treats it as a Digimon, will the chosen opponent Digimon be affected by effects?

Accepted Answer

No, it won't be affected by effects. When an effect is activated on a card that's treated as both a Digimon and a Tamer, the effect is treated as both a Digimon effect and a Tamer effect, therefore the chosen opponent Digimon won't be affected by effects.
