Card Rulings:Vampire Genesis
OCG Rulings
- Discarding 1 Zombie-Type monster is a cost to activate the effect.[1]
- This card cannot be Summoned through any method, other than the one printed on the card.[1]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- When "Book of Life"/"Mezuki"/"Zombie Master"/etc target a monster under the effect of "Zombie World", and "Zombie World" is destroyed before the effect resolves, then no monster is Special Summoned. However, "Book of Life" will still remove from play the opponent's monster.[2]
- Vampire Grace: The "If you control a FIRE monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand)." of "Goka, the Pyre of Malice" is considered to be the effect of an Effect Monster that doesn't start a Chain Link. Therefore, when "Goka, the Pyre of Malice" is Special Summoned, the effect of "Vampire Grace" in the Graveyard can be activated.
The "This card cannot be Special Summoned except by banishing 1 "Vampire Lord" you control." of "Vampire Genesis" is not considered to be the effect of an Effect Monster. Since "Vampire Genesis" is a Special Summon Monster, this is a Summoning condition. Therefore, when "Vampire Genesis" is Special Summoned, the effect of "Vampire Grace" in the Graveyard cannot be activated.[3]
