Future Fusion rulings

Question 1

Future Fusion — ruling 1

Accepted Answer

“Future Fusion” must remain on the field for the effect to activate. If it is not on the field during the 2nd Standby Phase, then you do not Special Summon the Fusion Monster.

Question 2

Future Fusion — ruling 2

Accepted Answer

You cannot use substitute Fusion Material Monsters such as “King of the Swamp”. You must use the monsters listed on the Fusion Monster Card.

Question 3

Future Fusion — ruling 3

Accepted Answer

You cannot activate “Future Fusion” if you do not have a Fusion Monster in your Fusion Deck and the appropriate Fusion Material Monsters in your Main Deck.

Question 4

Future Fusion — ruling 4

Accepted Answer

Destroying the monster when “Future Fusion” is removed from the field is an effect that cannot be chained to.

Question 5

Future Fusion — ruling 5

Accepted Answer

If the Special Summoned Fusion Monster is removed from the field without being destroyed then “Future Fusion” will remain on the field meaninglessly.

Question 6

Future Fusion — ruling 6

Accepted Answer

You cannot select a Fusion Monster that has another Fusion Monster as one of its Materials, such as “Dark Flare Knight” or “Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman”, for “Future Fusion”. The Fusion Material Monsters must be sent from the Main Deck.

Question 7

Future Fusion — ruling 7

Accepted Answer

You can chain the effect of a face-up “Royal Oppression” to negate “Future Fusion” when the card is activated (placed face-up on the field).

Question 8

Future Fusion — ruling 8

Accepted Answer

“Future Fusion’s” effect counts Standby Phases, not turns, so “Pyro Clock of Destiny” would have no affect.
