OCG Rulings

• "Cannot be Special Summoned except from the Graveyard, and only if it was sent there from the field." is not treated as a monster effect.

• The effect " If this card is Special Summoned: Target 1 monster in your Graveyard; this card gains ATK equal to that monster's Level x 200." is a Trigger Effect. (It targets 1 monster in your Graveyard. It is activated even if this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard during the Damage Step.)

• The effect of "Felgrand Dragon" is always activated when it is Special Summoned from the Graveyard. (Even if you have no monsters in your Graveyard that have a Level, the effect still activates and starts a Chain Link, but the effect resolution is not applied.)

• The ATK gained by the effect "this card gains ATK equal to that monster's Level x 200." remains as long as "Felgrand Dragon" remains face-up in the Monster Zone.

• If a card like "Solemn Judgment", "Horn of Heaven", or "The Selection" negates the Flip Summon of a monster, then the monster is not treated as being sent from the field to the Graveyard.
  • If the Flip Summon of "Felgrand Dragon" is negated by a card like "Solemn Judgment", then it is not treated as being sent from the field to the Graveyard, so it cannot be Special Summoned by an effect like "Call of the Haunted".

TCG Rulings

Previously Official Rulings

• If "Felgrand Dragon" is sent from the field to the Graveyard and afterwards it is removed from play (with "D.D. Crow", etc.), "Felgrand Dragon" cannot be Special Summoned with "Dimension Fusion" because "Felgrand Dragon" cannot be Special Summoned from the Removed Zone. If the "Felgrand Dragon" is returned to the Graveyard from the Removed Zone (with “Miracle Dig”, etc.), the “Felgrand Dragon” cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard because it was not sent from the field to the Graveyard.

• The ATK gained by "Felgrand Dragon" when it is Special Summoned disappears when "Felgrand Dragon" is removed from the field or flipped face-down.

• If "Skill Drain" is face-up on the field when "Felgrand Dragon" is Special Summoned, or if "Skill Drain" is activated after "Felgrand Dragon" is Special Summoned, "Skill Drain" will negate "Felgrand Dragon's" ATK gaining effect. If "Skill Drain" is later negated or removed from the field, the ATK gain is not reapplied.

• When "Felgrand Dragon" is Special Summoned, its controller selects 1 monster in their Graveyard as a target. If the selected monster is removed from play in chain to this effect, "Felgrand Dragon's" effect will disappear and it will not gain ATK.

• After "Felgrand Dragon's" ATK gaining effect is resolved, the ATK gain will not disappear if the selected monster is removed from the Graveyard.

• The text “This monster cannot be Special Summoned except from the Graveyard, and only if it was sent there from the field” is a condition and not an effect. It cannot be negated by "Dark Ruler Ha Des", etc.

Mentions in Other Rulings

• Decoy Dragon: If the Level 7 or higher Dragon-Type monster has an effect that activates when it is Special Summoned, the effect will begin a new Chain after it is Special Summoned by "Decoy Dragon". Example: If you Special Summon "Felgrand Dragon" by using "Decoy Dragon's" effect, the effect of "Felgrand Dragon" will activate and it will be able to gain ATK.
