Grandstone Nexus

Grandstone Nexus (創界石ネクサス；guransuton nekusasu) is a Nexus subtype, introduced in BS54. Grandstones represent stones in a similar existence as eggs, holding the Spirits or Braves inside them, and releasing them when the time comes. Grandstone Nexuses always have the family Grandstone and the keyword Rebirth. They do not have symbols.
Similar to Grandwalker Nexuses, each Grandstone Nexus always has a text which states it is immune to every effect which doesn't specify Grandstone Nexus. However, this effect only affects it when it is a Grandstone Nexus, not when it is a Grandstone Nexus card, meaning that while on the Trash, Hand, Removed Zone or Deck, Grandstone Nexuses are treated as Nexuses, and are thus affected by effects which say Nexus instead of Grandstone Nexus.
Also similar to Grandwalker Nexuses, Grandstone Nexuses have their own semi-exclusive keywords, being Release and Grand Mystery. Currently, each Grandstone Nexus always has those two keywords.
The text on a Grandstone Nexus will always contain the following two portions:
#This Nexus can only be affected by effects that specify "Grandstone Nexus". Cores can only be placed on this Nexus through the effect of "Release" or effects that specify "Grandstone Nexus", also, cores on this Nexus can't be moved except by effects that specify "Grandstone Nexus".
#Release: ([condition]) ◆When the Release condition is fulfilled, you can put one core from the Void to this Nexus.
==Q&A==
Q4: Can Grandstone Nexuses on field be targeted by effects that target "Nexus", such as Assault or "Destroy a Nexus"?A4: No, while they are on field, they are unaffected by effects that simply target "Nexus".
Q5: Can you use the Grand Skill of "The WandererGrandwalker Lolo" to flip Grandstone Nexuses on the Field?A5: No, you can't, as while they are on field, they are unaffected by effects that simply target "Nexus".
Q6: Can effects of Grandstone Nexuses on field be affected by Charge or blocked by "Armor"-named effects?A6: Yes, their effects are treated as Nexus effects.
Q7: When a Grandstone Nexus is revealed from deck, or in Hand/Removed Zone/Trash, can they be targeted by effects such as "deploy this Nexus" or "add this Nexus card to hand"?A7: Yes, they can be.
Q8: When a Grandstone Nexus is deployed, or during your Main Step, can cores be moved from Reserve/Field to a Grandstone Nexus?A8: No, they cannot be.
Q9: When The ArmoredWarOgre Rashou's "increase the LV cost for all opposing Nexuses by +2" is active, can Grandstone Nexuses be deployed?A9: Yes they can be.
Q10: When you move cores during Main Step, or when an effect requires costs to be paid or cores on the Field to be moved, can cores on Grandstone Nexuses be targeted?A10: No, they cannot be.
Q11: When effects like by Bloody Rondo or Strangle Fog count the cores on the Field, are cores on Grandstone Nexuses counted?A11: No, they are not.
Q12: When The SixAbsoluteDeities Sealing-Strom-Hyde's "No player can increase core from the void" effect is active, can cores be put from the Void to the Grandstone Nexuses?A12: Yes, they can be.
Q13: When cores are put from the Void to Grandstone Nexuses, can "when cores are added from the Void" effects, such as by Onmyou Child or The DragonMaskOgre Biranba, activate?A13: No, they cannot.
Q14: Through effects of Grandstone Nexuses, when cores are put from the Void to a card that is not a Grandstone Nexus, can "when cores are added from the Void" effects, such as by Onmyou Child or The DragonMaskOgre Biranba, activate?A14: Yes, they can.
Q17: While you have two "Dragon's Grandstone", with two cores on each of them, then you summon a Cost 3 or more "Dragon" family Spirit, and both of them reach three cores through Release, can both Nexuses flip by Rebirth?A17: Yes, they can. Release effects are resolved one by one, so they are considered different timings.
Q19: When you control three Red Grandstone Nexuses, can they fulfil conditions of effects such as "when you control a Red Nexus" or "when you control at least three Nexuses"?A19: Yes, they can.
Q24: Can the Soul Core be moved to a Grandstone Nexus?A24: No, it cannot be. The Soul Core cannot be moved to a Grandstone Nexus in any circumstances.
Q25: When the Release condition or other kind of effects have the clause "When core(s) are gained from the Void due to your "Primal" family Spirit", they cannot activate when your "Primal" family Spirit put cores from the Void to your Grandwalker Nexuses or Grandstone Nexuses?A25: That is correct.
Q26: When a Grandstone Nexus is affected by the effect "Grandstone Nexuses cannot activate their effects", can they be targeted as normal Nexuses, and can cores be moved to and from them during Main Step?A26: No, those are not possible. The common texts between all Grandstone Nexuses are not treated as effects, and cannot be negated.
Q27: Can Grandstone Nexuses affected by the effect "Grandstone Nexuses cannot activate their effects" activate their Release effects?A27: No, they cannot.
Q28: When a Cost 3 or more non-"Dragon" family Spirit is reborn into a Cost 3 or more "Dragon" family Spirit, can the Grandstone Nexus with the Release condition "Summon/Rebirth of your Cost 3 or more 'Dragon' family Spirit" activate its Release effect?A28: No, it cannot. The Release condition can only be fulfilled if the A side of the Spirit is a Cost 3 or more "Dragon" family Spirit.
Q29: With Release conditions such as "When your "Primal" family Spirit draws" or "When core(s) are gained from the Void due to your "Primal" family Spirit", can the Release effect activate when you draw or gain cores through "Primal" family Spirit Burst effects or Accel effects?A29: No, they cannot. Release conditions only references Spirits on the Field. However, in some cases, such as The ChosenSearcher Alex, in which the Spirit only draws or gains cores after it is summoned, the Release condition is fulfilled.
Q30: With Release conditions such as "When your "Primal" family Spirit draws" or "When core(s) are gained from the Void due to your "Primal" family Spirit", can the Release effect activate when you draw or gain cores through a (When Summoned) effect of a Brave in Spirit condition?A30: No, it cannot. No matter if the Brave is summoned in Spirit condition or direct brave, the (When Summoned) effect is a Brave effect, and hence does not fulfil the Release condition.
Q31: With Release conditions such as "When your "Primal" family Spirit draws" or "When core(s) are gained from the Void due to your "Primal" family Spirit", can the Release effect activate when your "Primal" family Spirit makes the opponent draw or gain core?A31: Yes, it can.
