does someone have the official rulings to instand fusion and it's relationship with fusio monsters such as Balter?I'm hear conflicting rulings and I need a straight answer. I've tried searching myself but come up with nothing.

A Fusion Summon of this monster can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters

Pay 1000 Life Points. Special Summon 1 Level 5 or lower Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon). The Fusion Monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack, and is destroyed during the End Phase. Only 1 "Instant Fusion" can be activated per turn

Check the bolded part.

Incase you don't get it...you can't summon Balter

since you asked for an official ruling...

• Because the Summon from "Instant Fusion" is a Fusion Summon, Fusion Monsters with the text "A Fusion Summon of this monster can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters." cannot be Special Summoned with "Instant Fusion".

as it currently stands I believe there are only 17 cards that instant fusion works with, 13 of which are non-effect junky fusions between 900 and 1900 atk. the remaining 4 are TER, E-hero mariner, E-hero steam healer, and reaper on the nightmare.

and seeing as TER is banned, and the e-heros are nomis whose effects deal with attacking, that really only leaves RotN. and even with that you'd have to let it die and then use premature or something on it for it to be useful.

You couldn't premature the reaper, that's the unfortunate thing. It would kill itself. I think that the best use of it is getting a Deepsea Shark or something like that and tributing for a monarch.

You can't Premature it, but you can sure Book of Life it, and remove one of your opponents monsters as well!! Nice benefit!!!

right, forgot the hole targeting thing with RotN, but my point being that since aside from TER the effects of the other 3 all involve attacking, and they can't because of instant fusion, so you'd have to let them die and bring 'em back, but you can't bring back the e-heros, so that only leaves the reaper.
