Card Rulings:Slip Summon
OCG Rulings
- During the Damage Step, this card cannot be activated.[1]
- Applying "Return it to the owner's hand during the End Phase." does not make a Chain Link.[1]
- Before the monster Summoned by "Slip Summon" returns to the hand during the End Phase, if it has been flipped to face-down Defense Position or destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, etc., "Return it to the owner's hand during the End Phase." is not applied.[1]
- After Special Summoning a monster, the effect "Return it to the owner's hand during the End Phase." of "Slip Summon" has already been applied. Thus, even if you Special Summon "Elemental HERO Wildheart", it will return to its owner's hand during the End Phase despite the effect "This card is unaffected by Trap effects." of "Elemental HERO Wildheart".[2]
TCG Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Konami before the introduction of Problem-Solving Card Text. Since the introduction of the new text structure, individual card rulings for the TCG are no longer issued or actively maintained.[4] They have never been formally overturned as a whole and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules and do not contradict card text. |
- You cannot activate this card during the Damage Step.[3]
- If you use "Slip Summon" to Special Summon a monster like "Elemental Hero Wildheart" [sic] that is unaffected by Trap Cards, it will remain on the field and not be returned to the owner's hand during the End Phase.[3]

Rules posted online will be limited to super-complicated and really weird situations. Imagine going down to a dozen pages of card rules, instead of a thousand. It could happen.
