Netrep Q&As

Q: If “X-Head Cannon” and “Z-Metal Tank” are on the field and “Y-Dragon Head” is equipped to “X-Head Cannon” through its effect, can the three cards be removed from play to Special Summon the “XYZ-Dragon Cannon”? A: They would need to be monsters at the time you would remove them from play to Special Summon the associated XYZ Fusion monster. Curtis Schultz, 01/29/2004
Q: If “X-Head Cannon”, “Y-Dragon Head”, and “Z-Metal Tank” are used to attack the opponent, can they be removed from play to Special Summon “XYZ-Dragon Cannon” during the Battle Phase to attack the opponent once again? A: You cannot perform the Special Summon of “XYZ Dragon Cannon” (per its instructions) during your Battle Phase. The XZ, XY, YZ, and XYZ can only be Special Summoned by the method written on each respective monster during Main Phase 1 and 2 of your turn only. Curtis Schultz, 02/24/2004
Q: On the FAQ page for Dimension Fusion, it says that XYZ Dragon Cannon can be Special Summoned by the effect of Dimension Fusion. However, XYZ, XZ, XY, and YZ can only be Special Summoned by removing the respective parts from the game and the FAQ states that there is no "proper" way of special summoning these Fusions. So how can Dimension Fusion special summon them if they're never "properly" Special Summoned to begin with?A: We had the same question. But it's on the official roster of rulings so it stays. Perhaps at some point in the future there will be a way to "properly" summon XYZ monsters. Who knows. Kevin Tewart, 01/26/2005
