Subject: XYZ and Special Summons

Well, I went through the CotD for Versago the Destroyer.  As I predicted, 
one of the revieweres mentioned using Fusion-substitutes in an XYZ 
deck.  Let me make this very, very clear:


XYZ FUSIONS CANNOT BE SUMMONED ANY WAY EXCEPT THEIR EFFECT, AND THEIR 
EFFECT DOES NOT COUNT AS A FUSION SUMMON.


Do you see what this means?

1.  No Fusion Gate.  (no Poly either, for that matter)

2.  No fusion-subs (it's like using Fusion-subs to summon Valkyrion or Gate 
Guardian :x can't be done, and doesn't make sense)

3.  No reviving (even if you summoned it through its effect).

4.  No Summoner of Illusions, Cyber-Stein, Metamorphosis, and so forth.


So right now, you might be thinking, "Well, I guess the issue is resolved 
here.  XYZ-fusion isn't a fusion."  So now, I'm just going to throw you 
completely off and give you a second, completely screwy ruling:


If you summon XYZ through its effect, then use Miracle Dig to get X, Y, and 
Z into your graveyard, De-Fusion WILL let you summon X, Y, and Z.


So now you're completely confused, right?  Yeah, so was I when I found this 
ruling.  But it's there.  In the JERP.  But let me just make this very, 
very clear that fusion gate, fusion-subs, reviving, and any other Special 
Summon method will NOT work on an XYZ fusion.




Oh, and one more thing.

Duelmonster's Review of Limiter Removal:

"Spell Canceller will is another decent Machine with 1800 ATK but it's 
level 5 but its Spell Negation effect will make up for that."

Remind me again how Limiter Removal can be activated with Spell Canceller 
face-up on the field.
