If this is the case, then that’s going to make Anti-Spell Fragrance a really popular Side Deck card…Ĥ) Can the activation of a Pendulum Spell be negated?ĥ) What happens if the Summon of a Pendulum Monster or the activation of a Pendulum Spell is negated?Ī: I believe the same thing that would happen if a Pendulum Card is discarded from your hand: It would go straight to the Graveyard.Ħ) Do Pendulum Cards count as Spells and monsters in your hand and deck?Ī: I don’t believe so. I’m leaning toward this second answer myself based on historical precedent: Synchro Summoning can still be done while Macro Cosmos or other such cards are in play according to the rulebook.ģ) Can a Pendulum Spell be Set face-down?Ī: I don’t believe they can. ON THE OTHER HAND, they might still go to the Extra Deck, since it is the game itself redirecting them rather than a card effect. The rule states they go the the Extra Deck if they would be sent from the field to the Graveyard, but the Graveyard is inaccessible with Macro Cosmos in play. There are two ways this can go, and both of them make sense in their own way. Everything we’ve seen up to this point has only stated they go to the Extra Deck if they were on the field.Ģ) What happens if Macro Cosmos is on the field when a Pendulum Card is destroyed?Ī: No idea. Do this until we get actual official word from Konami.ġ) What happens if a Pendulum Monster is sent from the hand, deck, or Extra Deck to the Graveyard?Ī: I believe they will go to the Graveyard. When judging an event, please use YOUR OWN best judgment, or follow the rulings issued by your Head Judge. NOTICE: If you are a Judge reading this, please don’t take any of my answers as being absolute certainties. So, what are these unanswered questions? Let’s go over each one, as well as my proposed answers to them. You cannot “save up” Pendulum Summons either. Pendulum Summons can only be done during Main Phase 1 or 2, and can only be used once per turn. So if you have a scale of 1 and 8, you can summon any monsters from Level 2 to Level 7. The Levels of your monsters must be BETWEEN the numbers of the Pendulum Scale. This lets you Special Summon as many monsters as you like, from your hand or Pendulum Monsters face-up in your Extra Deck or both, to your field. When you have set both sides of the Pendulum Scale by playing a Pendulum Spell to each of your Pendulum Zones, you can perform a Pendulum Summon. Pendulum Summoning is the new summoning method introduced with Pendulum Monsters. This happens if it is a monster card (including face-down Pendulum Monsters) or a Spell Card. If a Pendulum Card is sent from the field to the Graveyard for any reason, it is placed face-up in your Extra Deck instead. Pendulum Spells are Spell Speed 1, as are their effects that activate, unless stated otherwise on the card. They are NOT played to your Spell & Trap Card Zones. In order to activate a Pendulum Spell, you play it to one of these two Pendulum Zones. The playing field has gotten an upgrade as well: Two new zones now exist on the left and right sides of the field, between the Field Spell and Extra Deck Zones, and the Deck and Graveyard Zones. Pendulum Monsters can be Normal Summoned or Set from your hand, and can also be Flip and Special Summoned. So far, there are only Normal and Effect Pendulum Monsters, so this means they go into your Main Deck when you’re building a deck. The numbers on the sides are called the Pendulum Scale. The smaller text box contains the monster’s Pendulum Effects (if any some Pendulum Monsters won’t have any Pendulum Effects), which are the effects you get if you play the card as a Spell Card. They also have two text boxes, and special numbers are on the sides of the card. This means that you can play them as one or the other. However, there are still a few questions that need to be answered.īefore I get into these yet unsolved mysteries, let me give you a brief rundown of how Pendulum Monsters work.įirst, Pendulum Monsters have the border of both a monster and a Spell Card. Pendulum Monsters are officially on their way! They were announced and given the rundown on Konami’s official strategy blog, and you can read the article here.
