Card Rulings:Gale Dogra
TCG Rulings
- You cannot Special Summon a monster sent from the Extra Deck to your Graveyard with cards like "Monster Reborn," "The Shallow Grave," or "Call of the Haunted."[1]
OCG Rulings
- Fusion Monsters are Special Summon monsters, so they can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by effects like "Monster Reborn" only if they were Special Summoned by the correct procedure at one time, and then sent to the Graveyard. Suppose an effect like that of "Gale Dogra" sends a Fusion Monster directly to the Graveyard, or an effect like that of "Cyber-Stein" Special Summons the monster without Fusion Summoning. Then "Monster Reborn" cannot Special Summon that Fusion Monster from the Graveyard, since it was not properly Special Summoned to the field.[2][3]
- Paying 3000 Life Points is a cost to activate the effect of "Gale Dogra".[4]
- If "Gale Dogra" is face-down on the field, then you cannot activate its effect.[4]
- You cannot use an effect like "Monster Reborn" to Special Summon a Fusion Monster which was sent to the Graveyard by the effect of "Gale Dogra".[4]
