OCG Rulings

• This card's effect that adds a Boot Sector Launch from your Deck to your hand is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target.)
• This card's effect that destroys a face-up monster on your field and adds a "Rokket" monster from your Graveyard to your hand is an Ignition Effect. (It targets 1 face-up monster in your Monster Zone and 1 "Rokket" monster in your Graveyard.)
• Destroying the targeted monster on the field and adding the targeted "Rokket" monster from your Graveyard to your hand happen simultaneously.

Q&A Rulings

• Q: If I activate the second effect of "Striker Dragon", but the targeted face-up monster in my Monster Zone is no longer on the field when the effect resolves, how is the effect applied?

A: If the monster that was targeted on the field is no longer in the Monster Zone when the effect of "Striker Dragon" resolves, the effect is not applied. (You do not destroy the monster on your field or add the targeted "Rokket" monster from your Graveyard to your hand.)

• Q: If I activate the second effect of "Striker Dragon", but the targeted "Rokket" monster is no longer in my Graveyard when the effect resolves, how is the effect applied?

A: If the targeted "Rokket" monster is no longer in the Graveyard when the effect of "Striker Dragon" resolves, the part of its effect that destroys the targeted monster on the field is applied, but you cannot add the other targeted monster to your hand.

• Q: I activate the second effect of "Striker Dragon", targeting a "Gateway Dragon" on my field and a "Magnarokket Dragon" in my Graveyard. When resolving the effect, if I apply the effect of a "Return of the Dragon Lords" in my Graveyard and prevent "Gateway Dragon" from being destroyed, what happens?

A: When resolving the effect of "Striker Dragon", if you apply the effect of "Return of the Dragon Lords", the targeted monster on the field ("Gateway Dragon" in this scenario) is not destroyed, so you cannot add the other targeted monster from your Graveyard to your hand.
