Rulings

• Q: Some creatures have the "Chain" ability. What is this ability?
  • A: When you put a creature into the battle zone with the "Chain" ability, you reveal the top card of your deck deck. If the creature has less cost than the cost of the creature with the "Chain" ability, then you can put it in you your battle zone.
• Q: If the top card of your deck is not smaller than the creature with the "Chain" ability, what do you do now?
  • A: You do nothing. The top card of your deck stays where it is.
• Q: The top card on my deck revealed had less cost than the creature with the "Chain"ability, but was an evolution creature with no valid creature to evolve onto. What do I now do?
  • A: You do nothing. The top card of your deck stays where it is.
• Q: A creature with the "Chain" ability is brought out after I have summoned it through the use of another creature with "Chain". Can I use that creatures ability?
  • A: Yes. It does not matter how you put a creature into the battle zone, you can still use the "Chain" ability. If the cards put into the battle zone are continually lower than the last, you can progressively summon creatures.
• Q: Cyber G Hogan has a "Chain Cascade" ability. How do you use it?
  • A: For the "Chain" ability, you reveal the top card of your deck. For the "Chain Cascade" ability you reveal the top cards of your deck, and put any number of creatures with less cost than the Cyber G Hogan into the battle zone. If you pick no creatures, put them back on the top of your deck in any order. If put in one creature, the other card is shuffled back into your deck. If you put in 2 creatures, you can use their "when this creature is put into the battle zone" effect in any order, regardless of the order they were put into the battle zone.
