French	Raisonnement	Votre adversaire déclare un Niveau de monstre de 1 à 12. Dévoilez des cartes du dessus de votre Deck jusqu'à dévoiler un monstre qui est Invocable/Posable Normalement, puis, si le monstre est du même Niveau que celui déclaré par votre adversaire, envoyez toutes les cartes dévoilées au Cimetière. Sinon, Invoquez Spécialement le monstre dévoilé, et aussi, envoyez les cartes restantes au Cimetière.
German	Gedankengang	Dein Gegner deklariert eine Monsterstufe von 1 bis 12. Grabe die obersten Karten deines Decks aus, bis du ein Monster ausgräbst, das als Normalbeschwörung beschworen/gesetzt werden kann, dann, falls das Monster die von deinem Gegner deklarierte Stufe hat, lege alle ausgegrabenen Karten auf den Friedhof. Falls nicht, beschwöre das ausgegrabene Monster als Spezialbeschwörung, zusätzlich lege die übrigen Karten auf den Friedhof.
Italian	Ragionando	Il tuo avversario dichiara un Livello di mostro da 1 a 12. Dissotterra carte dalla cima del tuo Deck fino a quando non dissotterri un mostro che può essere Evocato Normalmente/Posizionato, poi, se quel mostro è dello stesso Livello di quello dichiarato dal tuo avversario, manda al Cimitero tutte le carte dissotterrate. Se non lo è, Evoca Specialmente il mostro dissotterrato, inoltre manda le carte rimanenti al Cimitero.
