When playing this card, can I delete one of my [Diaboromon] tokens to reduce its play cost by 12?
What does "[When Digivolving] effects don't activate" mean, exactly?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
This effect prevents [When Digivolving] effects on cards from activating. [When Digivolving] effects can no longer activate by triggering or when effects such as "activate that card's [When Digivolving] effect" activate.
I used a card affected by "can't activate [When Digivolving] effects" to attack. Can I activate that card's [When Digivolving] [When Attacking] effect at such times?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
Yes, you can. The effect can activate if it activates upon the [When Attacking] timing.
A card that was given "can't activate [When Digivolving] effects" digivolved into a card that has a [When Digivolving] [When Attacking] [Once Per Turn] effect. Does that count as an instance of that effect's [X Per Turn] even if that effect can't be activated upon the timing when that card digivolved?
Show ruling
Official Ruling
No, it doesn't count. The effect can't activate upon the [When Digivolving] timing, therefore it doesn't count as an instance of that effect's [X Per Turn].
