Question 1

What does this card's "without the same name as the cards in your battle area or trash" mean?

Accepted Answer

It refers to a card without the same name as any of the cards among all your Digimon/Tamers in the battle area, Option cards placed by effects, and cards in your trash.

Question 2

Does this card's effect also reference whether the card names are the same or not for the digivolution cards under my Digimon in the battle area or cards under my Tamers?

Accepted Answer

No, this effect doesn't reference digivolution cards or cards under a Tamer.

Question 3

Do [On Play] effects activate for Digimon played into the breeding area by this card's effect?

Accepted Answer

No, they don’t activate.

Question 4

If a Digimon is moved to the battle area by an effect during the same turn that it was played into the breeding area by this card's effect, can that Digimon attack?

Accepted Answer

No, it can't. This card's effect plays a Digimon into the breeding area instead of hatching it. Therefore, the "Digimon can't attack the turn they came into play" rule still applies.

Question 5

Do "when your (or your opponent's) Digimon is played" effects activate for Digimon played into the breeding area by this card's effect?

Accepted Answer

No, they don't activate. Cards in the breeding area can't be referenced unless specified otherwise by effect text.

Question 6

Can I use this card's effect to play a Digimon into the breeding area if a "Digimon can't be played by effects" effect has been activated?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't. A "can't be played by effects" effect affects a player when it activates, therefore the act of playing a Digimon itself won't be possible, whether in the breeding area or the battle area.

Question 7

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 8

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 9

A card's cost is 0 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 1 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 1 or more" effect doesn't trigger.

Question 10

An Option card has an original use cost of 1 or more, and I use it when the cost to pay is reduced to 0 or less. At such times, does this card's "when you use an Option card with a use cost of 1 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 1 or more" effect triggers.

Question 11

I used an effect to use an Option card with an original use cost of 1 or more without paying the cost. At such times, does this card's "when you use an Option card with a use cost of 1 or more" effect trigger?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it triggers.
