Q: Can the first effect of Exod Flame be activated by targeting a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Monster?
A: Yes, it can. Even in that case, you must send 1 “Forbidden One” monster or “Exodia” card from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard. When returning the targeted monster to the hand, the Fusion/Synchro/Xyz Monster is returned to the Extra Deck instead of the hand.

A: In this scenario, since the activation of Exod Flame was negated, it is not treated as being sent from the Spell & Trap Zone to the Graveyard, so its effect cannot be activated.
