1. Dimensional Fissure/Macro Cosmos is in play and my opponent activates the effect of Evolzar Laggia. Where would the materials go? Explain.
2. I normal summon my Effect Veiler and Activate Mind control to take my opponents Utopia. I go to Synchro for my Catastor and he says it is an illegal play. Is he correct or wrong? Explain.
3. My opponent attacks my Utopia and I negate the attack by detaching Sangan. Will I get my search? Explain.
4. Are Xyz effected by Level Limit Area B/Gravity Bind?
5. My Xyz is flipped face-down. What happens to the materials attached to it?
Process of Xyz Summoning is as follows: First, you must have two or more monsters on the field of EXACTLY the same level. this includes changed level via effect. you can also use trap monsters so long as their level is adequate. you can NOT however use tokens for Xyz summoning due to token rulings that they cant be sent anywhere and if removed from the field they are just removed. and as such can not be overlain. some Xyz monsters also require a specific type of monster along with the specified level. Example being Blade armor ninja. Along with its 2 Level 4 Monster requirement, Both monsters must be Warrior Type to Xyz Summon Blade Armor Ninja.
Second: Overlay : Overlay is the process of stacking your equal leveled monster on top of each other and then pulling from your extra deck your summoned Xyz Monster. Xyz Monsters, As like Synchro and Fusion Monsters, can NOT be reborn with cards such as monster reborn or call of the haunted if their summon is negated for any reason. monsters Overlain will then become "Xyz Material" For the summon and using of the effect of your summoned Xyz Monster.
Question one. dimensional fissure causes the materials to go to the grave as per usual, due to the monsters used for the Xyz being materials and not monsters. they are sent to the grave, however in the case of macro will be banished because they are still cards regardless of material or not.
Question two. Tuners can Not use Xyz Monsters for a Synchro Summon whatsoever as Xyz Monsters are not of Level but of Rank instead. Xyz Monsters Rank are displayed the Opposite way of Level, with a Black Background behind the star and starting from the opposite side of a normal monster's level. thus making the opponent correct in that synchroing catastor with Utopia and effect veiler is illegal.
Question Three. in this case Neither player gets their search regardless of who its owner is due to sangan not being on the field, but instead being a material. since it does not leave the field to the grave as stated in its card description, its effect does not happen.
Question Four. Xyz Monsters are NOT effected by cards that involve Level of any sort as Xyz Monsters do not have a Level. they instead have a Rank.
Question Five. If in the case of an Xyz Monster getting Set due to an effect such as Book of Moon, it does NOT lose its Xyz Materials because the Materials are Part of the monster itself and as such keeps the materials untill they are either used, taken off by an effect, or the monster is destroyed.
