X-Saber Souza

Hello, can you activate Souza and select the same Effect more than once per turn? Or does it fall under "card will not do anything" rule?
This is of course for the purpose of abusing Dark Soul.

During your Main Phase, you can Tribute 1 "X-Saber" monster to have this card gain 1 of these effects until the End Phase: ● If this card battles a monster, destroy that monster immediately with this card's effect (without damage calculation). ● This card cannot be destroyed by the effects of Trap Cards.

ex.
I have X-Saber Souza and 3 Dark Souls on my field, can i activate the "● This card cannot be destroyed by the effects of Trap Cards." effect three times so i can tribute the 3 Dark Souls?

It doesn't say anything about "Once per turn", so it can be used more than once. But trying to gain the same effect... twice? It won't do anything, and won't work because you already have the second effect.

can you provide a reference i could use?

Since it seems you can use it more than once per turn simply go

1st Time-Trap Immunity
2nd Time-Insta Destruction
3rd Time-Trap Immunity

Simple eh? and no confusion

not really, i think both effects stack and doesn't overwrite each other...

Just because Souza's gained one effect and wants to gain another before it loses the first gained one doesn't mean it loses the first prematurely.

That said, activating Souza's "I gain one of these two effects" effect thrice per turn is similar to activating Dark Hole while neither player controls monsters - in essence, it has no reason to be possible. This is because once Souza has gained an effect, it cannot gain that effect once more until it loses that effect.

Activating it more than twice would then be activating it at a time where it is impossible for it to properly affect Souza.

Generally, it is impossible to activate effects at times where they have no way to properly apply to the gamestate.

In other words, you cannot activate Souza and select the same effect more than once per turn.
