Question 1

I used this card's [On Play] [When Digivolving] effect to give "can't suspend or activate [When Digivolving] effects" to 1 of my opponent's Digmon with no digivolution cards. If that Digimon later gains digivolution cards after being affected by that effect, can it suspend or activate [When Digivolving] effects?

Accepted Answer

No, it can't. For this card's [On Play] [When Digivolving] effect, you chose 1 of your opponent's Digmon with no digivolution cards to gain "can't suspend or activate [When Digivolving] effects." The effect will continue affecting the chosen Digimon even if it later gets a digivolution card.

Question 2

My Digimon with this card in its digivolution cards attacked, an opponent's Digimon with digivolution cards was deleted in the battle, and after that battle, my opponent doesn't have any Digimon with digivolution cards. This Digimon gains from this card's inherited effect at such times, but does the trigger simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it triggers. If an effect's trigger conditions are met when the effect is gained, that effect will trigger. In this case, your opponent no longer has Digimon with digivolution cards at the same timing as when your opponent's Digimon is deleted in battle, therefore you can activate <Piercing>.

Question 3

What does "[When Digivolving] effects don't activate" mean, exactly?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

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?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. The effect can activate if it activates upon the [When Attacking] timing.

Question 5

If a card is affected by "can't activate [When Digivolving] effects," can other effects activate its [When Digivolving] effect?

Accepted Answer

No, it can't be activated.

Question 6

If a card is affected by "can't activate [When Digivolving] effects," can I process just the "by" condition in its [When Digivolving] effect?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't.

Question 7

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?

Accepted Answer

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].

Question 8

Is a "while your opponent has no Digimon with XX" condition also met when my opponent has no Digimon?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's met.
