* In real-life, if this card were played against an opponent using a standard 40-card deck, it would most likely be destroyed on the controller's third turn after activation (if the opponent did not use a card to search or draw from their deck), as the controller would play "[[Golden Castle of Stromberg]]," after which the opponent would draw (already having 5 cards in their hand, now 6), leaving 34 cards in their deck, then ending their turn after their move. On the controller's turn, half of the opponent's deck would be sent to the Graveyard, leaving them with 17. The opponent would draw again, now having 16 cards in their deck. Again assuming they did not draw or search again, the next turn their deck would be reduced to 8. After one more draw, the opponent would have 7 cards left in their deck. If they once more did not draw or search, the Castle would destroy itself due to not being able to send "half" of an odd number of cards to the Graveyard.

  • The effect to Summon one Level 4 or lower monster per turn is likely the only "real" effect of the original card, as it was the only one Leon knew about. The other effects were likely the result of Zigfried's hacking.
    • Solomon Muto also mentioned about the huge cost to maintain the card on the field. Therefore, sending half of the Deck to the Graveyard or the prohibition of Normal Summoning is most likely also a "real" effect.
    • Also, Solomon Muto (at least in the Japanese version) says that the card had that huge cost, because of the overpowered effect of destroying any monster the opponent attacked with. So, very likely, the only hacked effects are "cannot be destroyed" and "opponent pays the cost" (the only 2 effects he also makes known are hacked).
  • Pursuant to Leon von Schroeder's Fairy Tale Deck theme, the "Golden Castle of Stromberg" appears in The Raven, from Grimm's Fairytales.
