Does Light-Imprisoning Mirror negate Archlord Kristya's return-to-Deck effect?✓
Kristya leaves the field and Light-Imprisoning Mirror is face-up.
No. Light-Imprisoning Mirror only negates activated effects, and Kristya's return-to-Deck is a continuous effect that does not activate.
Can you activate Future Fusion while Archlord Kristya is on the field?✓
Kristya is face-up and a player wants to activate Future Fusion.
No. You cannot activate Future Fusion if its resolution would be prevented by Kristya.
