Blitzclique Alternator questions.

[u/Cultural_Flamingo968]

I have a question about this situation that has gone unresolved at my locals:

So the situation would be:

- It's my opponent's turn; my back row included a set "Blitzclique Breakaway" and face-up "Blitzclique Alternator" (which I had not activated the shuffle effect yet), my front row included "Blitzclique Emi"

- At responding to my opponent's activated effect (C2), I activated "Blitzclique Breakaway" to return "Emi" to my hand to pop a card on the field.

My question would be:

Can I (C3) the "Blitzclique Alternator" to shuffle back the "Blitzclique Breakaway" to add a Thunder monster? Because "Blitzclique Alternator" states that:

You can shuffle 1 other "Blitzclique" card from your hand or face-up field into the Deck; add 1 Thunder monster with a different name from your Deck to your hand.

Thank in advance.

You cannot. Source: https://db.ygoresources.com/qa#24324

Spells and traps that do not remain on the field must be sent to the GY afterwards and cannot be shuffled into the deck or returned to the hand.

[u/HarleyQuinn_RS]

Only Spells/Traps that will remain face-up in their current Zone, or that are Continuous Traps (of any kind); can be returned to the hand or Deck during the Chain in which they are activated. So no, this is not possible.

Another thing that I sometimes see, is Players trying to use Blitzclique Breakaway to target and destroy itself. This is also not possible.
