Lost Guardian	Individual Card FAQs	When a monster is removed from play, it goes to a “removed zone” (for lack of a better term) of the original owner. If the opponent controlled it, it will return to the opponent's side of the field when it returns to player, however it is considered to be in the original owner's “removed zone” while out of play. This is important for effects such as “Lost Guardian”.Example: Player A controls 2 monsters. Player B activates “Change of Heart” to take control of one of them, then activates “Different Dimension Gate” to remove both from play. Both monsters are in Player A's “removed zone” while removed from play (so Player A's “Lost Guardian” would have 1400 DEF). When “Different Dimension Gate” is destroyed, the monster Player B took control of will return to Player B's side of the field (if possible, if not it is destroyed) before returning to Player A's side of the field.
Luminous Soldier	Individual Card FAQs	If the attack target of "Luminous Soldier" is redirected to a DARK monster by the effect of "Dreamsprite" the ATK of "Luminous Soldier" will then increase by 500 points.
Luminous Soldier	Individual Card FAQs	If the ATK of "Luminous Soldier" is reduced to 0 because of the effect of "Fairy Box" the ATK will increase by 500 points in the Damage Step if it is battling with a DARK monster.
Machine Duplication	Individual Card FAQs	The Machine-Type monster is chosen at activation of this card, so if the opponent chains "Ring of Destruction" to destroy the chosen monster, up to 2 copies of that card can still be Special Summoned.
Machine Duplication	Individual Card FAQs	If a monster on the field, with an ATK of 500 or less, is changed to Machine-Type with "DNA Surgery", you can use "Machine Duplication" to Special Summon up to 2 copies of it from your Deck.
