Question 1

Which player chooses the cards that are to be returned from my opponent’s trash to the deck by this card's [When Digivolving] effect?

Accepted Answer

The player that activated this card's effect. The cards to return and their order are chosen by the player that activated this effect, then they are returned to the deck.

Question 2

I chose 2 cards including a Digi-Egg card from my opponent's trash for this card's [When Digivolving] effect. At such times, the rules place the Digi-Egg card at the bottom of the Digi-Egg deck when it would be returned to the deck, but is this effect's "by" condition met?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's met.

Question 3

Can I process the part of the effect after "after" in this card's [When Digivolving] effect without meeting the "by" condition?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't. You can only use the part after "after" in this card's [When Digivolving] effect to get additional DP if 2 cards from your opponent's trash are returned to the bottom of the deck.

Question 4

Can I use this card's [When Digivolving] effect to return 1 card from my opponent's trash to the bottom of the deck?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't. A "by" condition can't be met if only some of the required actions are performed. In order for the conditions for this card's [When Digivolving] effect to be met, you must return 2 cards from your opponent's trash to the bottom of the deck.

Question 5

I used this card's [When Digivolving] effect to delete an opponent's Digimon with an [On Deletion] effect, and I used the part of the effect after "then" to return that card from their trash to the bottom of the deck. Can that deleted card's [On Deletion] effect activate at such times?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't activate it. When a card with an effect that's pending activation leaves its current area while activation is pending, the effect can no longer be activated. In this case, the deleted card's [On Deletion] effect triggers, but it's removed from the trash before the effect can activate.

Question 6

Which player's token does this card's [When Digivolving] effect play as an opponent's Digimon?

Accepted Answer

The token of the player that activated this card's [When Digivolving] effect is played as an opponent's Digimon. If the token played by this effect is removed from the field or the game ends, the token is returned to that player.

Question 7

Can I use this card's [When Digivolving] effect to play a [Petrification] Token during the turn I activated BT8-097 [Crimson Blaze]'s [Main] effect?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can be played. This card's [When Digivolving] effect plays one of your cards. Cards can be played by your effects even after a "your opponent can't play Digimon by effects" effect has activated.

Question 8

I activated this card's [When Digivolving] effect, and when my opponent's Digimon would leave the battle area for the 1st process, an immediate-type effect such as a "when [...] would leave" effect caused this card to be removed from the battle area. Can I then process the part of the effect after "then" in this card's effect?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. If an effect activates, it is to be fully resolved even if the card that activated the effect is removed from that area during the processing.
