Question 1

If the "when you use an Option card" effect triggers, what is the timing when it can activate?

Accepted Answer

It can be activated after activating the used Option card's [Main] effect.

Question 2

Can I use [EX4-072 Digital Translator]'s effect to digivolve [Sakuyamon] into this card?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This card is treated as having [Sakuyamon] in its name and it's a level 6 card with a name other than [Sakuyamon], therefore it can digivolve using [EX4-072 Digital Translator]'s effect.

Question 3

What does this card's (Rule) mean, exactly? (*This card's "This card/Digimon is also treated as having [Sakuyamon] in its name" has been changed to "(Rule) Name: Also treated as having [Sakuyamon].")

Accepted Answer

This is a special rule for this card that always treats it as if it also has [Sakuyamon] in its name. This card can be chosen for text that specifies cards with [Sakuyamon] in their names. This card can't be chosen for text that specifies cards with the name [Sakuyamon].

Question 4

Does the "when you use an Option card" effect trigger if an Option card's effect activates by a method other than using the card?

Accepted Answer

No, it doesn't trigger. If an Option card's effect activates without using it, such as activation by a [Security] effect or <Delay>, the "when you use an Option card" effect doesn't trigger.

Question 5

An Option card's use cost is 1 or less when used from the hand due to an effect such as BT2-099 [Glorious Burst] or BT8-097 [Crimson Blaze]'s 1st effect. When such a card is used, does this card's "when you use an Option card with a use cost of 2 or more" effect trigger?

Accepted Answer

No, it doesn't trigger. If a card's cost itself is reduced when it's used from the hand, it's considered to be using an Option card with a use cost after the reduction is applied. Therefore, the "when you use an Option card with a use cost of 2 or more" effect doesn't trigger.

Question 6

An Option card has an original use cost of 2 or more, and I use it when the cost to pay is reduced to 1 or less. At such times, does this card's "when you use an Option card with a use cost of 2 or more" effect trigger?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it triggers. If the card's cost to pay is reduced and not the use cost itself, it's considered to be using an Option card with its original value as its use cost. Therefore, the "when you use an Option card with a use cost of 2 or more" effect triggers.

Question 7

I used an effect to use an Option card with an original use cost of 2 or more without paying the cost. At such times, does this card's "when you use an Option card with a use cost of 2 or more" effect trigger?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it triggers.
