Question 1

The memory is at 0, and my opponent has 2 Digimon including BT8-071 [Psychemon] in the battle area. Can I declare to play this card, then suspend my opponent's 2 Digimon including BT8-071 [Psychemon]?

Accepted Answer

No, you can't. You can't pay the cost because you can't use BT8-071 [Psychemon]'s effect to reduce it, therefore you can't declare to play this card in the first place.

Question 2

The memory is at 1 or more, and my opponent has 2 Digimon including BT8-071 [Psychemon] in the battle area. Can I declare to play this card, then suspend my opponent's 2 Digimon including BT8-071 [Psychemon]?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. You can't use BT8-071 [Psychemon]'s effect to reduce the play cost, but the original play cost can be paid, therefore you can declare to play this card. After declaring to play it, you can use the 1st effect to suspend 2 Digimon, but you can't reduce the play cost, therefore you must pay the original play cost of 11 in order to play this card.
