■ Evolution—Put on one of your Tyranno Drakes.
■ Meteorburn—Whenever one of your creatures attack, you may put a card under this creature into your graveyard. If you do, destroy one of your opponent's creatures that has "blocker".
■ Double breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.)


It's not treated as a physical position.

Rules[]

As a general rule, the abilities of cards underneath another card is ignored.

If you evolve Marine Flower to Astral Reef, Astral Reef isn't a blocker and is able to attack. Due to the evolution, the following card text aren't used.

Blocker Blocker
■ This creature can't attack.

This is defined in the General Game Rules with;

From the Duel Masters - General Game Rules: Version 1.41 (April 12, 2024)

  • 200.3a Cards that are underneath a card due to evolution, etc have their characteristics ignored during gameplay. However, when 'cards' are specified, the characteristics are referenced. When specifying other things than 'cards' (such as 'creature'), these characteristics aren't referenced.

    Example: A water creature that is evolved over a light and water creature is only treated as a water creature, and its power and race are unaffected by the underneath cards. However, a card such as 'Team Tech's Wave Go!' can affect the cards underneath them if they match the conditions.

    Example: 'Bangetsu 卍 Ga・Ryuzark 卍' refers to Magic Tools as a race, so cards underneath '卍 De Szark 卍' can't be referenced.

From the Duel Masters - General Game Rules: Version 1.41 (April 12, 2024)

  • 200.3a 進化などによってカードの下に置かれているカードは通常のゲーム中は特性が無視されています。ただし、カードを指定する場合、特性は参照されます。カード以外を指定する場合は参照されません
    例:光と水文明を持つクリーチャーの上に進化した水のクリーチャーは水のクリーチャーであり、パワーも種族も下のカードから影響されません。ただし、《テック団の波壊 Go!》の効果を受けた場合、下のカードもコストを参照し、適正であれば効果を受けます。
    例:《卍月 ガ・リュザーク 卍》の無月の門・絶は魔導具を参照しているため、《卍 デ・スザーク 卍》の下にあるカードは参照できません。

However, this doesn't apply if a card ability refers to its own information.

■ Mana Galaxy Vortex evolution—Choose up to 3 nature creatures in your mana zone and put this creature into the battle zone on top of those creatures.
■ This creature's power is equal to the total power of the creatures under it.
■ While this creature has power 6000 or more, it has "double breaker".
■ While this creature has power 12000 or more, it has "triple breaker".
■ While this creature has power 18000 or more, it has "quattro breaker".


Otherwise, if the characteristics of the card underneath the card were ignored, the Super Terradragon Variant Vades would destroy itself as it would have 0 power.

For Card Based Removal, the original characteristics of the card are ignored.

  • As an example, if you use Team Tech's Wave Go!, each card under a card is treated as 0. This allows you to bounce all of the cards.

The card "under" is a component of the object, and not the object itself. Therefore, the top card and all cards under it are treated as a single object.

Choosing a card from under a card doesn't mean choosing the bottom card of the stack. You are able to choose any card in the stack that isn't the top card.

In the case of Ultimate Galaxy Universe's Meteorburn, you may put any evolution source of the Phoenix into your graveyard.
