A: No, you cannot. Yes, you normally can Equip an opponent's
Monster, but this card is an exception, since a player cannot
attack Monsters on his or her side of the Field.
Q: Can I use a Soul Exchange and Tribute my opponent's Monster
to a Catapult Turtle? It says to "...offer one Monster on your
side of the Field as Tribute..."
A: Yes, you can do it. Soul Exchange allows you to Tribute an
opponent's Monster instead of your own, which includes the
"side of the Field" part.
Q: Can I use Share the Pain and bring out a high-level Monster?
A: No. Tribute in that effect only means to take Monsters and
place them in the Graveyard. Tributing for specific card
effects doesn't count for any other purposes.

A: No. Trap Hole must be used when the Monster is first Summoned
or Flip Summoned. If you don't use it at that point, it can't
be used on it later.

have does Battle Damage to my opponent, does he loses two cards?
A: Yes. The Battle Damage triggers both Robbin' Goblins.
Q: If my opponent gains control of one of my Monsters with a Flip
effect, who gets to "use" it if he flips it?
A: The controller gets to make any choices, and gets the benefits
(and penalities, if any) for flipping it. For example, if your
opponent gains control of your Magician of Faith and Flip Summons
it, your opponent will be able to returned one of his or her
Magic cards to his or her hand, not you.
Q: If my opponent uses Monster Reborn on one of my Monsters, and
attacks my Wall of Illusion/Hane-Hane, who's hand does it return
to?
A: "Owner" is defined as the person who brought the card to the
game. It returns to its "owner's" hand.
Q: Am I allowed to use Japanese cards in tournaments?
A: In official Upper Deck tournaments, you cannot use Japanese cards,
not even ones that have been released in English. If it's an
unofficial tournament, then it's up to the person that is hosting
and judging the event.
Q: I heard I'm not allowed to use Dark Duel Stories promo cards
in Upper Deck tournaments. Is that true?
A: Yes, it's true. You cannot use Dark Duel Stories promo cards
in official Upper Deck tournaments, as they are not made by
Upper Deck.
Q: Can I use the new English cards made by Konami in Asia?
