Q&A Rulings
- Q: If there are no Wyrm monsters in my GY, can I activate the first effect of "Shaman of the Tenyi" by discarding a Wyrm monster?
- A: If there are no Wyrm monsters in your GY, you do not have any monsters to target, so you cannot activate the first effect of "Shaman of the Tenyi". (You cannot discard a Wyrm monster to activate it.) Also, if there is a Wyrm monster already in your GY, and you activate the effect of "Shaman of the Tenyi" by discarding a Wyrm monster, you can select the discarded monster as the target.[2][3]
