OCG Rulings
- The effect of this card that Special Summons a Level 4 or lower "Nephthys" monster from your Graveyard is an Ignition Effect. (It targets 1 Level 4 or lower "Nephthys" monster other than "Matriarch of Nephthys" in your Graveyard.)[1]
- Destroying a card in your hand and Special Summoning the targeted monster happen simultaneously.[1]
- The effect that Special Summons this card from the Graveyard during your Standby Phase is a Trigger Effect that activates in the Graveyard. (It does not target.)[1]
- This effect does not start a Chain when this card is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard. The effect activates and starts a Chain during your next Standby Phase after that. (You can activate the effect even if this card was destroyed while it was in your hand or Deck, or destroyed while treated as an Equip Card.)[1]
