Explained
A Pendulum Monster always treated as "Elfnote". In the Pendulum Zone, destroy it to draw 2 and discard 1 when a Power Patron or Elfnote monster is summoned. As a monster, banish the top 3 cards of your Deck to destroy it and summon "Junora the Power Patron of Tuning". When added face-up to the Extra Deck, it recovers a Power Patron or Elfnote card.
In Elfnote and Power Patron decks as a draw engine and a way to summon Junora.
- Using the Pendulum effect in the Damage Step.
How it works
This card is always treated as an “Elfnote” card.
Pendulum effect: If a “Power Patron” or “Elfnote” monster is Special Summoned to your field while this card is in your Pendulum Zone (except during the Damage Step), destroy this card, draw 2 cards, then discard 1. Once per turn.
Monster effects (each once per turn):
- Banish the top 3 cards of your Deck face-down; destroy this card, and if you do, Special Summon 1 “Junora the Power Patron of Tuning” from your Extra Deck (treated as a Synchro Summon).
- If this card is added to your Extra Deck face-up, add 1 “Power Patron” or “Elfnote” card from your face-up Extra Deck or GY to your hand, except “Junoldo”.
When to use it
Destroying a Pendulum Monster sends it face-up to the Extra Deck, which triggers its recovery effect. So both the Pendulum draw and the Junora summon lead into another card.
Rulings in plain English
Is it Elfnote even if negated? Yes.
Junora summon: Destroying and summoning count as simultaneous.
Recovery: A Trigger Effect in the Extra Deck, usable in the Damage Step.
