Compulsory Evacuation Device	Netrep Q&As	Q: If "Skill Drain" is active on the field, can you chain "Compulsory Evacuation Device" to the effect of a Flip Effect Monster when its Flip Summoned such as "Fiber Jar" or "Cyber Jar" and resolve their effects?A: Yes, you can chain "Compusory Evacuation Device" to the flip effect of "Cyber Jar" and "Fiber Jar" when you Flip Summon them. The "Cyber Jar"/"Fiber Jar" would return to your hand first, then its effect would resolve. Since it would not be face-up on the field when its effect resolves, "Skill Drain" will not negate it.

Contract with Exodia	Individual Card FAQs	When you activate "Contract with Exodia", and your opponent chains "Disappear" to remove a piece of Exodia from your Graveyard, you still Special Summon "Exodia Necross", but "Exodia Necross" is then destroyed because of its effect.
Contract with the Abyss	Individual Card FAQs	"Contract with the Abyss" is used as a generic substitute for Ritual Spell Cards like "Black Illusion Ritual" and "Contract with the Dark Master". You cannot use "Contract with the Abyss" to Ritual Summon a non-Ritual Monster like "Dark Magician".
