OCG Rulings

• "This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Deck or Graveyard" is not treated as a monster effect.

• The monster effect "Once per turn: You can send 1 Fairy-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard" is an Ignition Effect. (It does not target.)

• The monster effect "When this card you control is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard: Special Summon 1 "Asmo Token" (Fairy-Type/DARK/Level 5/ATK 1800/DEF 1300) and 1 "Deus Token" (Fairy-Type/DARK/Level 3/ATK 1200/DEF 1200). "Asmo Token" cannot be destroyed by card effects. "Deus Token" cannot be destroyed by battle" is a Trigger Effect that is activated when it is sent to the Graveyard. (It does not target. It activates even during the Damage Step.)

• The "Asmo Token" and "Deus Token" are treated as being Special Summoned at the same time. Also, the Special Summon of the "Asmo Token" and "Deus Token" is treated as the last thing to resolve.

• Fundamentally, Token Monsters are treated as Normal Monsters that do not have effects. Therefore, even if the effect of "Skill Drain" is applying, the "Asmo Token" Special Summoned by "Darklord Asmodeus" cannot be destroyed by card effects, and the "Deus Token" cannot be destroyed by battle. Furthermore, the effect that prevents the "Asmo Token" and "Deus Token" from being destroyed by battle is the effect of "Darklord Asmodeus".

• Even if "Darklord Asmodeus" is destroyed by a card effect while face-down on the field, then its effect to Special Summon an "Asmo Token" and a "Deus Token" still activates.

Mentions in Other Rulings

• Darklord Ixchel: "Darklord Asmodeus" is the only face-up monster on the opponent's field. You activate the effect of "Darklord Ixchel", "Darklord Tezcatlipoca", "Darklord Nasten", or "Darklord Amdusc" that copies the effect of a "Darklord" Spell/Trap Card in my Graveyard, targeting "Darklord Enchantment" in your Graveyard. If "Book of Moon" is Chained, and "Darklord Asmodeus" is changed to face-down Defense Position, when resolving the effect of "Darklord Ixchel" etc., the effect becomes that of "Darklord Enchantment", but because there is no longer a face-up monster on the opponent's field, the effect cannot be applied. Even in that case, the targeted "Darklord Enchantment" is returned to the Deck afterward.

• Monster Rebone: "Monster Rebone" cannot target Special Summon-only monsters that were sent to the Graveyard without being previously properly Summoned (such as Fusion or Synchro Monsters sent to the Graveyard by the effect of "Nekroz Kaleidoscope"), or monsters such as "Darklord Asmodeus".

• Goyo Emperor: Because "Darklord Asmodeus" cannot be Special Summoned from the Deck or Graveyard, when "Goyo Emperor" destroys "Darklord Asmodeus" by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, its effect cannot be activated.
