Lord of D.	Individual Card FAQs	While you have "Lord of D." on the field you cannot equip your Dragon-Type monsters with Equip Spell Cards, but if you already have a Dragon-Type monster equipped with an Equip Spell Card when you Summon "Lord of D.", the Equip Spell card is not destroyed or negated, because "Lord of D." only prevents Dragon-Type monsters from being selected as a target.
Lord of D.	Individual Card FAQs	"Lord of D." will NOT stop "Dark Hole", "Mirror Force", "Raigeki", "Fissure", "Smashing Ground", "Hammer Shot", or "Amazoness Archers", nor will he protect your Dragon-Type monsters from their effects, since these cards affect the whole field and do not select targets.
Lord Poison	Individual Card FAQs	No card called "Lord Poison" can be Special Summoned by "Lord Poison"'s effect; either the one that was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard as a result of battle, or another copy of "Lord Poison" that was already in the Graveyard.
Lost Guardian	Individual Card FAQs	Whenever the number of your monsters removed from play changes, re-calculate the DEF of "Lost Guardian". (Just like "Shadow Ghoul", etc.)
Lost Guardian	Individual Card FAQs	When a monster is removed from play, it goes to a "removed zone" (for lack of a better term) of the original owner. If the opponent controlled it, it will return to the opponent's side of the field when it returns to player, however it is considered to be in the original owner's "removed zone" while out of play. This is important for effects such as "Lost Guardian".Example: Player A controls 2 monsters. Player B activates "Change of Heart" to take control of one of them, then activates "Different Dimension Gate" to remove both from play. Both monsters are in Player A's "removed zone" while removed from play (so Player A's "Lost Guardian" would have 1400 DEF). When "Different Dimension Gate" is destroyed, the monster Player B took control of will return to Player B's side of the field (if possible, if not it is destroyed) before returning to Player A's side of the field.

Lost Guardian	Individual Card FAQs	Monsters removed from play and kept face-down, like with "Different Dimension Capsule" or "Lightforce Sword", do NOT count towards the DEF of "Lost Guardian".
Luminous Soldier	Individual Card FAQs	If the ATK of "Luminous Soldier" is reduced to 0 because of the effect of "Fairy Box" the ATK will increase by 500 points in the Damage Step if it is battling with a DARK monster.
Luminous Soldier	Individual Card FAQs	If the attack target of "Luminous Soldier" is redirected to a DARK monster by the effect of "Dreamsprite" the ATK of "Luminous Soldier" will then increase by 500 points.
Machine Duplication	Individual Card FAQs	If a monster on the field, with an ATK of 500 or less, is changed to Machine-Type with "DNA Surgery", you can use "Machine Duplication" to Special Summon up to 2 copies of it from your Deck.
