Card Rulings:Despair from the Dark
Previously Official Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[1] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise. References: [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] |
- "Despair from the Dark" can be Normal Summoned.
- Only the owner of "Despair from the Dark" can use its effect, because it has to be sent from your hand to your Graveyard.
- When you discard "Despair from the Dark" with "Painful Choice", "Despair from the Dark"'s effect does not activate because it was your own card effect that caused it.
- If "Despair from the Dark" is sent to the Graveyard during a card effect's resolution, or during a chain, activate "Despair from the Dark"'s effect after the current effect or chain has resolved.
- If "Despair from the Dark" is sent to the Graveyard by "Last Turn"'s effect, "Despair from the Dark" is Special Summoned to the field before the attack of "Last Turn" happens.
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Divine Wrath: You can activate "Divine Wrath" to negate an effect that activates in the Graveyard, such as ... "Despair from the Dark" ....
- Last Turn: After "Last Turn" sends all cards to the Graveyard, before the Special Summon for "Last Turn" is performed, monster effects like "Despair from the Dark"...will activate.
