Extra Info

• Card Rules: Rulings powered by The Netrep API. You can use 'Magical Scientist''s effect multiple times in the same turn. 'Magical Scientist''s effect does not target. If the Fusion Monster is flipped face-down with 'Book of Moon', or removed from play with 'Dimensionhole' or 'Interdimensional Matter Transporter' or 'Different Dimension Gate', the effect is reset and the Fusion Monster does not go back to the Extra Deck, and is not prohibited from attacking your opponent's Life Points directly. If you Special Summon 'Reaper on the Nightmare' with 'Magical Scientist', it cannot attack your opponent's Life Points directly (but can attack a monster). You cannot activate 'Secret Pass to the Treasures' targeting a Fusion Monster Special Summoned with 'Magical Scientist' because it cannot attack your opponent's Life Points directly that turn. If 'Skill Drain' is activated after a Fusion Monster is Special Summoned with 'Magical Scientist', the effect of 'Magical Scientist' (that makes the Fusion Monster unable to attack directly and have to go back to the Extra Deck) has been applied already, and is not negated, so the Special Summoned Fusion Monster still cannot attack directly and must go back to the Extra Deck. If 'Jowgen the Spiritualist' is on the field, you cannot activate the effect of 'Magical Scientist' (so you cannot even pay the cost to try and activate 'Last Turn', for example). [Re: Astral Barrier] If a Fusion Monster is Special Summoned with 'Magical Scientist', and attacks, you cannot choose to make the attack a direct attack on your Life Points, because the effect of 'Magical Scientist' prohibiting this is mandatory, but the effect of 'Astral Barrier' is optional. [Re: Bottomless Trap Hole] If 'Cyber Jar' is flipped during a Main Phase, and the opponent Special Summons 'Dark Blade', 'Luster Dragon', 'Magical Scientist' and a face-down monster, you can activate 'Bottomless Trap Hole' and both 'Luster Dragon' and 'Dark Blade' will be removed from play. The 'Magical Scientist', face-down monster, and all monsters you Summoned will remain on the field. [Re: Centrifugal Field] Unlike 'De-Fusion', the Fusion Material Monsters Special Summoned with 'Centrifugal Field' do not have to have been used to Fusion Summon the Fusion Monster. In fact, that Fusion Monster does not have to have been properly Fusion Summoned at all (it could have been Special Summoned with 'Magical Scientist' or 'Summoner of Illusions' instead). [Re: Dark Balter the Terrible] The first sentence of this card's text means that monsters such as 'Beastking of the Swamps' cannot be used as a substitute for one of the required Fusion Material Monsters. You CAN use the effect of 'Magical Scientist' or 'Summoner of Illusions' to Special Summon this card like any other Fusion Monster. [Re: Dark Paladin] 'Dark Paladin' cannot be Special Summoned, EXCEPT by Fusion Summon. So you cannot Special Summon 'Dark Paladin' using 'Monster Reborn', etc., even if he was properly Summoned before. You cannot Special Summon 'Dark Paladin' using 'Magical Scientist', etc. [Re: De-Fusion] If you activate 'De-Fusion' and select a Fusion Monster that was Special Summoned by 'Magical Scientist' or 'Metamorphosis' you can return the Fusion Monster to the owner's Extra Deck, but cannot Special Summon any Fusion Material Monsters since none were used. [Re: Different Dimension Gate] When a Fusion Monster that was Special Summoned with 'Summoner of Illusions' or 'Magical Scientist' is removed from play with 'Different Dimension Gate', it is not destroyed or returned to the Extra Deck when it returns to the field, and it no longer has 'Magical Scientist's' restriction that prevents it from attacking your opponent's Life Points directly. [Re: Fiend Skull Dragon] You cannot use substitute Fusion Material Monsters such as 'Beastking of the Swamps' to Fusion Summon this card. You can use the effects of 'Metamorphosis', 'Magical Scientist', and 'Summoner of Illusions' to Special Summon this card. [Re: Guardian Tryce] You cannot use 'Guardian Tryce''s effect to Special Summon a 'Special Summon-only' monster that had not been properly Summoned, such as a Fusion Monster that was Special Summoned with 'Magical Scientist' and then Tributed for 'Guardian Tryce'. [Re: Interdimensional Matter Transporter] When a Fusion Monster is returned to the field with 'Interdimensional Matter Transporter' the same turn it was Special Summoned with 'Summoner of Illusions' or 'Magical Scientist', the Fusion Monster is not destroyed or returned to the Extra Deck. [Re: Mokey Mokey King] When 'Mokey Mokey King' that was Special Summoned by 'Magical Scientist' is returned to the Extra Deck, it has been removed from the field so its effect activates and you Special Summon as many 'Mokey Mokey' as possible from your Graveyard. [Re: Re-Fusion] You cannot use 'Re-Fusion' to Special Summon a Fusion Monster that was Summoned with 'Magical Scientist', or otherwise not properly Fusion Summoned. [Re: Royal Oppression] There are basically 2 ways to Special Summon a monster. The first way is with a Spell Card like 'Monster Reborn', a Trap Card like 'Call of the Haunted', or an Effect Monster like 'Magical Scientist'. The second way is built in to the monster, and Special Summons it without activating an effect, such as 'Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning' or 'Dark Necrofear'. 'Royal Oppression' can negate both of these types of Special Summon. In the first case, you chain the activation of 'Royal Oppression''s effect to the activation of the Spell, Trap, or Monster Card's effect, and negate the effect. In the second case, right before the monster is Special Summoned, you can activate the effect of 'Royal Oppression' to negate the Special Summon (the same procedure that you use for 'Horn of Heaven' or 'Solemn Judgment'). [Re: Skill Drain] 'Skill Drain' will not affect lingering effects or conditions that are left over from a previous effect. For example, if you Special Summon a Fusion Monster with 'Summoner of Illusions', and then 'Skill Drain' is activated afterwards, the Fusion Monster is still destroyed in the End Phase. If you Special Summon a Fusion Monster with 'Magical Scientist', and then 'Skill Drain' is activated, the Fusion Monster cannot attack your opponent's Life Points directly, and is returned to the Extra Deck at the end of the turn.
