Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin
POTD-EN003 Effect Monster
[Once per turn, by discarding 1 card from your hand, look at your opponent's hand and select 1 Monster Card in it. If there is a monster on your side of the field with ATK greater than or equal to the ATK of the selected monster, destroy the selected Monster Card and inflict 500 damage to your opponent. If there is no monster on your side of the field with ATK greater than or equal to the ATK of the selected monster, take 500 damage.]
This effect does not target.
When this effect resolves you look at your opponents hand. If there are no Monster Cards, do nothing. If the opponent does have a Monster Card, and you have a monster on the field with greater or equal ATK, you will destroy the opponents Monster Card and inflict the 500 damage at the same time.
If the selected Monster Card in your opponents hand has ATK ?, since it is undetermined, you cannot control a monster with greater or equal ATK, and you will take 500 damage.
Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab
POTD-EN004 Effect Monster
[This card gains 400 ATK for each Spell and Trap Card on your opponent's side of the field.]
If your opponent has Embodiment of Apophis on the field as a monster, it is still treated as 1 Trap Card, so Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab gains 400 ATK.
Neo-Spacian Dark Panther
POTD-EN005 Effect Monster
[Once per turn, you can select 1 face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field. While this card is face-up on your side of the field, until the end of this turn this card's name is treated as the selected monster's name, and it gets the selected monster's effect(s).]
Neo-Spacian Dark Panthers effect is only applied while it is face-up on the field. So if you target Sangan and then this card is sent to the Graveyard nothing will happen, because in the Graveyard it no longer copies Sangans effect.
If Neo-Spacian Dark Panther is flipped face-down after using its effect, the effect is no longer applied. You could flip it face-up and activate its effect again in the same turn.
When you use this cards effect to copy another monsters name, its name is not considered to be Neo-Spacian Dark Panther for the duration of the effect. If you targeted Cyber Dragon then activate Next to be Lost you would send a Cyber Dragon from your Deck to the Graveyard and not Neo-Spacian Dark Panther.
If Skill Drain is activated after Neo-Spacian Dark Panthers effect has resolved, the effects that the Dark Panther copied will be negated, but it will still keep the copied card name until the end of the turn.
You can target D. D. Warrior Lady and if Neo-Spacian Dark Panther battles with an opponents monster you can use the copied effect and remove both monsters from play, because D. D. Warrior Ladys effect activates on the field.
You can target Exiled Force and then Tribute Neo-Spacian Dark Panther to destroy 1 monster on the field.
If you target Spirit Reaper, the Spirit Reaper will be destroyed after Neo-Spacian Dark Panthers effect resolves.
You can target Embodiment of Apophis when it is a monster but only the card name will be copied. It does not have an effect to copy. Neo-Spacian Dark Panther will NOT be treated as a Trap Card.
If you target Relinquished or Sword Hunter then you can equip Neo-Spacian Dark Panther with Monster Cards through the copied effect, but at the end of the turn, the effect that allowed them to be equipped disappears, and the equipped cards are destroyed.
You can target a Union Monster and equip Neo-Spacian Dark Panther to an appropriate monster, but at the end of the turn the copied effect disappears and Neo-Spacian Dark Panther will be destroyed.
If you target Strike Ninja you can remove from play Neo-Spacian Dark Panther with the copied effect, but then it will no longer be face-up on the field, so the copied effect disappears and Neo-Spacian Dark Panther remains removed from play.
If you target Cyber Harpie Lady, Harpie Lady 1, etc., then Neo-Spacian Dark Panthers name will just be Harpie Lady for the duration of its effect.
If you target Proto-Cyber Dragon, Neo-Spacian Dark Panthers name will be treated as Cyber Dragon because of the copied effect.
If you target a monster with an effect that accumulates Spell Counters, such as Skilled Dark Magician, any Spell Counters on Neo-Spacian Dark Panther will be removed when its effect ends.
You can target your opponents Neo-Spacian Dark Panther but the copied effect is the same as the one you just used, so you cannot activate it a second time that turn.
If you target an LV monster, you could Tribute the Neo-Spacian Dark Panther to activate the Spell Card Level Up!. It will be in the Graveyard when Level Up! resolves, so it will no longer have the copied effect, so there is no monster name to reference and therefore the effect disappears.
Chrysalis Dolphin
POTD-EN006 Effect Monster
[By Tributing this card while "Neo Space" is on the field, Special Summon 1 "Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin" from your hand or Deck.]
If you activate this effect and find that you do not have Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin in your hand or Deck your opponent can check both to verify.
If you Tribute Chrysalis Dolphin and your opponent chains an effect to destroy Neo Space, then the effect of Chrysalis Dolphin does not resolve.
Rallis the Star Bird
POTD-EN007 Effect Monster
[This card gains ATK equal to the Level of the monster that it battles x 200 during the Damage Step only. If this card attacks, it is removed from play at the end of the Damage Step and returned to your side of the field in face-up Attack Position at the beginning of your next turn's Battle Phase.]
Rallis the Star Birds effect that increases its ATK during the Damage Step is a Continuous Effect. It cannot be chained to. As soon as you enter the Damage Step the ATK is increased.
Rallis the Star Birds effect that removes it from play is a Trigger Effect and can be chained to. Returning it to play cannot be chained to.
If there is no vacant Monster Card Zone when Rallis the Star Bird would return to play it is destroyed.
If your opponent takes control of Rallis the Star Bird and it is removed from play by its own effect it will return to play on their side of the field at the start of their next turns Battle Phase, but then it will immediately move back to your side of the field.
Ambulanceroid
POTD-EN009 Effect Monster
[When a "roid" monster is added from your Graveyard to your hand, you can Special Summon that monster.]
You can Special Summon Dark Jeroid with Ambulanceroids effect because it has roid in its card name.
Rescueroid
POTD-EN011 Effect Monster
[While this card is face-up on your side of the field, when a "roid" monster on your side of the field is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can return that monster to the hand.]
You can activate Rescueroids effect when Dark Jeroid or Elemental Hero Necroid Shaman is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard because they have roid in their card names. Elemental Hero Necroid Shaman would be returned to the Fusion Deck instead.
Destiny Hero Double Dude
POTD-EN012 Effect Monster
[This card cannot be Special Summoned. This card can attack twice during the same Battle Phase. If this card is destroyed, you can Special Summon 2 "Double Dude Tokens" (Warrior-Type/DARK/Level 4/ATK 1000/DEF 1000) during your next Standby Phase.]
This cards effect activates in the Graveyard. If Destiny Hero Double Dude is removed from play its effect will not activate.
If Destiny Hero Double Dude is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard while in the hand or Deck his effect still activates, and you can Special Summon the 2 Double Dude Tokens. He could be destroyed in the hand or Deck by effects like Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin or Chain Destruction.
Destiny Hero Dogma
POTD-EN014 Effect Monster
[This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Tributing 3 monsters, including at least 1 "Destiny Hero" monster. If this card is Special Summoned, halve your opponent's Life Points during your opponent's next Standby Phase.]
Destiny Hero Dogma needs to be on the field during your opponents next Standby Phase for his effect to activate.
Destiny Hero Dasher
POTD-EN017 Effect Monster
[Once per turn, by Tributing 1 monster, this card gains 1000 ATK until the end of this turn. If this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase. While this card is in the Graveyard, one time only, when you draw a Monster Card during your Draw Phase you can show it to your opponent and Special Summon it.]
You can only Tribute 1 monster to increase Destiny Hero Dashers ATK during your Main Phases.
You can use Destiny Hero Dashers effect to Special Summon 1 monster you draw only once while it is in the Graveyard. If Destiny Hero Dasher is returned to your hand or Deck and then sent back to the Graveyard you could activate its effect again.
You can activate this effect when you draw a monster during your Draw Phase because of a card effect such as Reload or Heart of the Underdog.
If you have 2 Destiny Hero Dasher in your Graveyard, and you activate Reload during your Draw Phase and draw 2 or more Monster Cards, you can activate the effects of both Destiny Hero Dashers in a chain.
Ultimate Tyranno
POTD-EN020 Effect Monster
[If this card is in Attack Position at the beginning of your Battle Phase, first, you can and must attack all monsters on your opponent's side of the field once each with this card.]
If you have 2 or more Ultimate Tyranno in Attack Position at the start of your Battle Phase, you choose 1 and it attacks all of your opponents monsters first.
Miracle Jurassic Egg
POTD-EN021 Effect Monster
[While this card is face-up on your side of the field, this card cannot be removed from play. Place 2 counters on this card each time a Dinosaur-Type Monster Card is sent to your Graveyard. By Tributing this card, select and Special Summon 1 Dinosaur-Type monster from your Deck whose Level is equal to or lower than the number of counters on this card when it was Tributed.]
If Macro Cosmos or Dimensional Fissure is face-up on the field when Miracle Jurassic Egg is destroyed, it will still be removed from play instead of going to the Graveyard.
Cosmic Horror Gangiel
POTD-EN029 Effect Monster
[If you're Tributing a monster on your side of the field that is owned by your opponent, this card can be Normal Summoned with 1 Tribute. Once per turn, you can place 1 A-Counter on a monster on your opponent's side of the field. (If a monster with an A-Counter battles an "Alien" monster, it loses 300 ATK and DEF for each A-Counter during damage calculation only.)]
If you activate Soul Exchange and target 1 of your opponents monsters, Cosmic Horror Gangiel cannot be Tribute Summoned by Tributing just that 1 monster. That monster is still on your opponents side of the field, so it does not satisfy the requirement.
Elemental Hero Aqua Neos (Flare Neos & Dark Neos)
POTD-EN031 Fusion / Effect Monster
["Elemental Hero Neos" + "Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin"
This card can only be Special Summoned from your Fusion Deck by returning the above cards from your side of the field to the Deck. (You do not use "Polymerization".) Once per turn, by discarding 1 card from your hand, select 1 random card from your opponent's hand and destroy it. This card returns to the Fusion Deck during the End Phase.]
If this card was Special Summoned properly by its own effect, then you can Special Summon it from the Graveyard with Call of the Haunted, etc.
If you control your opponents Elemental Hero Neos or Neo-Spacian, you can return it to your opponents Deck to Special Summon this card.
This cards effect activates during every End Phase. If this card is not face-up on the field during the End Phase of the turn it was Special Summoned, its effect will still activate during the next End Phase that it is face-up on the field for, and be returned to the Fusion Deck.
Chimeratech Overdragon
POTD-EN034 Fusion / Effect Monster
["Cyber Dragon" + 1 or more Machine-Type monsters
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card is Fusion Summoned, send all the cards on your side of the field to the Graveyard except this card. The original ATK and DEF of this card become the number of Fusion Material Monsters you used for the Fusion Summon of this card x 800 points. This card can attack as many of your opponent's monsters each turn as the number of Fusion Material Monsters you used for the Fusion Summon of this card.]
When you Fusion Summon this card you can use a substitute, such as King of the Swamp, for the Cyber Dragon, but not for the Machine-Type monsters. That means you can use a maximum of 1 substitute monster in the Fusion Summon.
The effect that sends all your other cards to the Graveyard is a Trigger Effect and it can be chained to.
Chimeratech Overdragon can attack the same monster more than once if the attack target is not destroyed, such as an Attack Position Spirit Reaper.
If Chimeratech Overdragon attacks directly, and then the opponent Special Summons a monster during the same Battle Phase it cannot attack it.
You can activate De-Fusion and target Chimeratech Overdragon, but you can only Special Summon the Fusion Material Monsters if you have enough vacant Monster Card Zones for ALL of the Fusion Material Monsters you used.
Vehicroid Connection Zone
POTD-EN040 Normal Spell Card
[Send to the Graveyard, from your side of the field or your hand, Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on a "Vehicroid" Fusion Monster Card, and Special Summon that Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.) The Fusion Monster Special Summoned by this card cannot be destroyed by the effects of Spells, Traps, and Effect Monsters, and its effects cannot be negated.]
If the Special Summoned Vehicroid monster is flipped face-down then the effect of Vehicroid Connection Zone is no longer applied.
Future Fusion
POTD-EN044 Continuous Spell Card
[Send, from your Deck to the Graveyard, Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on a Fusion Monster Card, and select that 1 Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck. Special Summon the selected Fusion Monster during your 2nd Standby Phase after this card's activation. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.) When this card is removed from the field, destroy that monster. When the monster is destroyed, destroy this card.]
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.
You cannot use substitute Fusion Material Monsters such as King of the Swamp. You must use the monsters listed on the Fusion Monster Card.
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.
Destroying the monster when Future Fusion is removed from the field is an effect that cannot be chained to.
If the Special Summoned Fusion Monster is removed from the field without being destroyed then Future Fusion will remain on the field meaninglessly.
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.
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).
Future Fusions effect counts Standby Phases, not turns, so Pyro Clock of Destiny would have no affect.
Neo Space
POTD-EN046 Field Spell Card
[Elemental Hero Neos and all Fusion Monsters that list "Elemental Hero Neos" as a Fusion Material Monster gain 500 ATK. Fusion Monsters that list "Elemental Hero Neos" as a Fusion Material Monster do not have to have their effects activated that return them to the Fusion Deck during the End Phase.]
If UFOroid Fighter is Fusion Summoned with Elemental Hero Neos being used as the 1 Warrior-Type monster, UFOroid Fighter will NOT be affected by Neo Space because Elemental Hero Neos is not listed by name on the card.
Mausoleum of the Emperor
POTD-EN047 Field Spell Card
[Both players can Normal Summon or Set monsters without Tribute(s) by paying 1000 Life Points x the number of monsters needed to Tribute Summon them.]
Using the effect of Mausoleum of the Emperor can be chained to.
Mausoleum of the Emperor does not grant extra Normal Summons. If you use its effect, you cannot Normal Summon or Set another monster during the same turn.
A monster Normal Summoned with the effect of Mausoleum of the Emperor is NOT Tribute Summoned. So if you pay 1000 Life Points and Normal Summon Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, its effect will not activate.
You cannot use its effect in conjunction with Ultimate Offering, because you cannot activate Mausoleum of the Emperors effect during the resolution of Ultimate Offerings effect.
You cannot pay 3000 Life Points to Normal Summon Gilford the Lightning and activate its effect. You can pay 2000 Life Points just to Summon it. You cannot then Tribute just 1 monster to activate its effect.
Royal Writ of Taxation
POTD-EN054 Normal Trap Card
[Activate only during your opponent's Standby Phase. Select 1 random card from your opponent's hand and look at it. Unless the selected card or a card with the same name is Normal Summoned or activated by the end of your next turn, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. If the selected card or a card with the same name is Normal Summoned or activated by the end of your next turn, you take 1000 damage.]
If the selected card is a Monster Card, the card (or 1 with the same name) has to be Normal Summoned for Royal Writ of Taxations effect to apply. If it is Set, Special Summoned, or Flip Summoned then the effect will not apply.
Activated in the text of Royal Writ of Taxation means to activate a Spell or Trap Card, or to activate the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster. So a face-down Ojamagic being destroyed, the effect of an already face-up Ultimate Offering being activated, or the Flip Effect of a Magician of Faith activating would all cause Royal Writ of Taxations effect to be applied.

Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin
POTD-EN003 Effect Monster
[Once per turn, by discarding 1 card from your hand, look at your opponent's hand and select 1 Monster Card in it. If there is a monster on your side of the field with ATK greater than or equal to the ATK of the selected monster, destroy the selected Monster Card and inflict 500 damage to your opponent. If there is no monster on your side of the field with ATK greater than or equal to the ATK of the selected monster, take 500 damage.]
This effect does not target.
When this effect resolves you look at your opponents hand. If there are no Monster Cards, do nothing. If the opponent does have a Monster Card, and you have a monster on the field with greater or equal ATK, you will destroy the opponents Monster Card and inflict the 500 damage at the same time.
If the selected Monster Card in your opponents hand has ATK ?, since it is undetermined, you cannot control a monster with greater or equal ATK, and you will take 500 damage.
Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab
POTD-EN004 Effect Monster
[This card gains 400 ATK for each Spell and Trap Card on your opponent's side of the field.]
If your opponent has Embodiment of Apophis on the field as a monster, it is still treated as 1 Trap Card, so Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab gains 400 ATK.
Neo-Spacian Dark Panther
POTD-EN005 Effect Monster
[Once per turn, you can select 1 face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field. While this card is face-up on your side of the field, until the end of this turn this card's name is treated as the selected monster's name, and it gets the selected monster's effect(s).]
Neo-Spacian Dark Panthers effect is only applied while it is face-up on the field. So if you target Sangan and then this card is sent to the Graveyard nothing will happen, because in the Graveyard it no longer copies Sangans effect.
If Neo-Spacian Dark Panther is flipped face-down after using its effect, the effect is no longer applied. You could flip it face-up and activate its effect again in the same turn.
When you use this cards effect to copy another monsters name, its name is not considered to be Neo-Spacian Dark Panther for the duration of the effect. If you targeted Cyber Dragon then activate Next to be Lost you would send a Cyber Dragon from your Deck to the Graveyard and not Neo-Spacian Dark Panther.
If Skill Drain is activated after Neo-Spacian Dark Panthers effect has resolved, the effects that the Dark Panther copied will be negated, but it will still keep the copied card name until the end of the turn.
You can target D. D. Warrior Lady and if Neo-Spacian Dark Panther battles with an opponents monster you can use the copied effect and remove both monsters from play, because D. D. Warrior Ladys effect activates on the field.
You can target Exiled Force and then Tribute Neo-Spacian Dark Panther to destroy 1 monster on the field.
If you target Spirit Reaper, the Spirit Reaper will be destroyed after Neo-Spacian Dark Panthers effect resolves.

You can target a Union Monster and equip Neo-Spacian Dark Panther to an appropriate monster, but at the end of the turn the copied effect disappears and Neo-Spacian Dark Panther will be destroyed.
If you target Strike Ninja you can remove from play Neo-Spacian Dark Panther with the copied effect, but then it will no longer be face-up on the field, so the copied effect disappears and Neo-Spacian Dark Panther remains removed from play.
If you target Cyber Harpie Lady, Harpie Lady 1, etc., then Neo-Spacian Dark Panthers name will just be Harpie Lady for the duration of its effect.
If you target Proto-Cyber Dragon, Neo-Spacian Dark Panthers name will be treated as Cyber Dragon because of the copied effect.
If you target a monster with an effect that accumulates Spell Counters, such as Skilled Dark Magician, any Spell Counters on Neo-Spacian Dark Panther will be removed when its effect ends.
You can target your opponents Neo-Spacian Dark Panther but the copied effect is the same as the one you just used, so you cannot activate it a second time that turn.
If you target an LV monster, you could Tribute the Neo-Spacian Dark Panther to activate the Spell Card Level Up!. It will be in the Graveyard when Level Up! resolves, so it will no longer have the copied effect, so there is no monster name to reference and therefore the effect disappears.
Chrysalis Dolphin
POTD-EN006 Effect Monster
[By Tributing this card while "Neo Space" is on the field, Special Summon 1 "Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin" from your hand or Deck.]

Rallis the Star Birds effect that increases its ATK during the Damage Step is a Continuous Effect. It cannot be chained to. As soon as you enter the Damage Step the ATK is increased.
Rallis the Star Birds effect that removes it from play is a Trigger Effect and can be chained to. Returning it to play cannot be chained to.
If there is no vacant Monster Card Zone when Rallis the Star Bird would return to play it is destroyed.
If your opponent takes control of Rallis the Star Bird and it is removed from play by its own effect it will return to play on their side of the field at the start of their next turns Battle Phase, but then it will immediately move back to your side of the field.
Ambulanceroid

[If you're Tributing a monster on your side of the field that is owned by your opponent, this card can be Normal Summoned with 1 Tribute. Once per turn, you can place 1 A-Counter on a monster on your opponent's side of the field. (If a monster with an A-Counter battles an "Alien" monster, it loses 300 ATK and DEF for each A-Counter during damage calculation only.)]
If you activate Soul Exchange and target 1 of your opponents monsters, Cosmic Horror Gangiel cannot be Tribute Summoned by Tributing just that 1 monster. That monster is still on your opponents side of the field, so it does not satisfy the requirement.

["Elemental Hero Neos" + "Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin"
This card can only be Special Summoned from your Fusion Deck by returning the above cards from your side of the field to the Deck. (You do not use "Polymerization".)

[Send, from your Deck to the Graveyard, Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on a Fusion Monster Card, and select that 1 Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck. Special Summon the selected Fusion Monster during your 2nd Standby Phase after this card's activation. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.) When this card is removed from the field, destroy that monster. When the monster is destroyed, destroy this card.]
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.
You cannot use substitute Fusion Material Monsters such as King of the Swamp. You must use the monsters listed on the Fusion Monster Card.
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.
Destroying the monster when Future Fusion is removed from the field is an effect that cannot be chained to.
If the Special Summoned Fusion Monster is removed from the field without being destroyed then Future Fusion will remain on the field meaninglessly.
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.
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).
Future Fusions effect counts Standby Phases, not turns, so Pyro Clock of Destiny would have no affect.
Neo Space
POTD-EN046 Field Spell Card
[Elemental Hero Neos and all Fusion Monsters that list "Elemental Hero Neos" as a Fusion Material Monster gain 500 ATK. Fusion Monsters that list "Elemental Hero Neos" as a Fusion Material Monster do not have to have their effects activated that return them to the Fusion Deck during the End Phase.]
If UFOroid Fighter is Fusion Summoned with Elemental Hero Neos being used as the 1 Warrior-Type monster, UFOroid Fighter will NOT be affected by Neo Space because Elemental Hero Neos is not listed by name on the card.
Mausoleum of the Emperor
POTD-EN047 Field Spell Card
[Both players can Normal Summon or Set monsters without Tribute(s) by paying 1000 Life Points x the number of monsters needed to Tribute Summon them.]
Using the effect of Mausoleum of the Emperor can be chained to.
Mausoleum of the Emperor does not grant extra Normal Summons. If you use its effect, you cannot Normal Summon or Set another monster during the same turn.
A monster Normal Summoned with the effect of Mausoleum of the Emperor is NOT Tribute Summoned. So if you pay 1000 Life Points and Normal Summon Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, its effect will not activate.
You cannot use its effect in conjunction with Ultimate Offering, because you cannot activate Mausoleum of the Emperors effect during the resolution of Ultimate Offerings effect.
You cannot pay 3000 Life Points to Normal Summon Gilford the Lightning and activate its effect. You can pay 2000 Life Points just to Summon it. You cannot then Tribute just 1 monster to activate its effect.
Royal Writ of Taxation
POTD-EN054 Normal Trap Card
[Activate only during your opponent's Standby Phase. Select 1 random card from your opponent's hand and look at it. Unless the selected card or a card with the same name is Normal Summoned or activated by the end of your next turn, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. If the selected card or a card with the same name is Normal Summoned or activated by the end of your next turn, you take 1000 damage.]
If the selected card is a Monster Card, the card (or 1 with the same name) has to be Normal Summoned for Royal Writ of Taxations effect to apply. If it is Set, Special Summoned, or Flip Summoned then the effect will not apply.
Activated in the text of Royal Writ of Taxation means to activate a Spell or Trap Card, or to activate the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster. So a face-down Ojamagic being destroyed, the effect of an already face-up Ultimate Offering being activated, or the Flip Effect of a Magician of Faith activating would all cause Royal Writ of Taxations effect to be applied.
