"Penguin Soldier":

OCG Rulings

  • It can target monsters in either player's Monster Zone. Also, it can target either face-up or face-down monsters.[1]

Previously Official Rulings

  • You may choose to return 0, 1, or 2 monsters to their owners’ hands.
  • You may target Monster Tokens, and they will be taken off the field, instead of returning to the hand.
  • Spirit Monsters can still be returned to their owners’ hands by the effect of "Penguin Soldier" even if "Spiritual Energy Settle Machine" is in play.

Mentions in other Rulings

  • Chain Disappearance: If you use "Chain Disappearance" in response to a Flip Summon, any Flip Effects like "Penguin Soldier" would still resolve. The Flip Effect is Step 1 of the chain, and "Chain Disappearance" is step 2.
  • Chaos Command Magician: When "Penguin Soldier" targets 2 monsters, including "Chaos Command Magician", this is an effect targets, but not one that select "1 target". So "Chaos Command Magician" will not negate the effect of "Penguin Soldier". However, if "Penguin Soldier" only targets "Chaos Command Magician", then it is an effect that selects "1 target" so "Chaos Command Magician" WILL negate the effect of "Penguin Soldier".
  • Cyber Phoenix: "Cyber Phoenix's" Continuous Effect will not negate cards that have 2 targets, such as "Penguin Soldier"...
  • Dark Magician of Chaos: When "Dark Magician of Chaos" is sent to your hand by "Penguin Soldier", it is removed from play instead.
  • Dramatic Rescue: You can activate "Dramatic Rescue" when an Amazoness on your side of the field is targeted, such as with..."Penguin Soldier"...
  • Spirit Reaper: "Spirit Reaper" is only destroyed by its own effect if it is face-up on the field when the effect designating it as a target activates, AND after the effect designating it as a target resolves... If "Spirit Reaper" is returned to the hand with "Penguin Soldier", it's not destroyed.
  • Spirit's Invitation: The effect of this card is applied even when a Spirit Monster is returned to its owner's hand by the effect of another card, such as "Penguin Soldier".
  • Spring of Rebirth: You gain 500 Life Points each time a monster or monsters on the field are returned to their owner's hand. So if "Penguin Soldier" returns two monsters at once, you only gain 500 Life Points.
  • Thunder Nyan Nyan: If you have a face-up "Thunder Nyan Nyan" and your Set "Penguin Soldier" is attacked, when it is flipped face-up "Thunder Nyan Nyan" will be destroyed, before it can be targeted by the effect of "Penguin Soldier".
