Select the correct answer choice(s) regarding End Phase Mechanics.

If the turn player passes priority while he/she has a mandatory effect, the non-turn player may resolve an optional effect.

At the start of the End Phase, the turn player may resolve an optional effect before the non turn player can resolve a mandatory effect.

If both players have two mandatory effects, and they pass priority during the End Phase, the turn player with mandatory effects will be forced to resolve all of them in a single chain.

Discarding for the Hand Size Limit is the last thing to occur during the End Phase (under normal circumstances)

Player A activates 'Maxx "C"' during Player B's Standby Phase. Player B enters his Main Phase 1 and Normal Summons "Rescue Rabbit", activating the effect, Special Summoning two copies of "Kabazauls", to which Player A draws two cards for the effect of 'Maxx "C"' and shuffles his hand. Player B points out that Player A illegally drew an extra card for the effect of 'Maxx "C"'. Select the correct answer.

Player B is incorrect, as drawing two cards was appropriate.

Drawing an extra card has no significant impact on the Game State. Both players will receive a Procedural Error warning and the duel will continue.

The extra card cannot be verified by any means, and impacts the game to a point in which the game state is irreparable. A Game Loss should be given to Player A, with Player A receiving a warning for Procedural Error.

The duel should be cancelled and Player B should be given an Unsporting Conduct warning for attempting to shark his opponent.

Player A has a set "Artifact Sanctum", "Torrential Tribute", a face-up "Supply Squad", and "Kuriboh". Player B Normal Summons "Ice Hand". In response to the Summon, Player A activates "Artifact Sanctum" as CL1, then chains "Torrential Tribute" as CL2. The chain resolves and "Artifact Scythe" is Special Summoned. Select the correct answer.

The effect of "Supply Squad" starts a new chain as CL1, followed by "Artifact Scythe" as CL2. "Ice Hand" will miss its activation timing.

"Supply Squad" will begin the chain as CL1, followed by "Artifact Scythe" and "Ice Hand" as CL2 and 3 in any order Player B wishes.

The effect of "Artifact Scythe" is continuous, and does not get placed on the chain. "Supply Squad" will begin the chain as CL1. "Ice Hand" will miss its activation timing.

"Peropero Cerperus" activates after Damage Calculation, before "Botanical Girl" would be banished, and can destroy "Masked HERO Dark Law".

"Botanical Girl" would still be able to activate her effect, after getting banished by the effect of "Masked HERO Dark Law".

The activation timing for the effect of "Peropero Cerperus" occurs during the end of the Damage Step; "Masked HERO Dark Law" will be destroyed and the effect of "Botanical Girl" can activate.

Player A controls a face-up "Infernoid Devyaty" and a set "Book of Moon". Player B controls a face-up "Blackwing - Hurricane the Tornado" (who previously used his effect targeting "Blackwing Armor Master"), and "Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow" in hand. Player B enters his Battle Phase and declares an attack on "Infernoid Devyaty", using the effect of "Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow" during the Damage Step. Select the correct answer(s).

"Infernoid Devyaty" can activate its effect, tributing itself to negate the activation of "Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow", but the latter will not be banished.

"Infernoid Devyaty" cannot tribute itself to negate the activation of "Kalut - the Moon Shadow", as it must remain face-up on the field during resolution.

If Player B activates "Book of Moon" during Player A's Main Phase 1, targeting "Blackwing - Hurricane the Tornado", once flipped up, the attack value will still be the same as it was prior to being flipped face-down.

None of these answers are correct.
