Can I use Miracle Dig to return removed-from-play mosters to my graveyard while Macro Cosmos is face-up on the field? If not, what is the easiest was to special summon an Envoy while Macro Cosmos is in play (assuming I have no monsters in my graveyard)?

- (I think) You can activate Miracle Dig while Macro Cosmos is in play, but it will have no effect. I don't think there's a way to summon Envoys with Macro Cosmos in play and no monsters in the Graveyard. ATEMVEGETA (Talk) 22:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- "Miracle Dig" will work if "Macro Cosmos" is in play. "Miracle Dig" "returns" cards to the Graveyard, and "returns" is different from "sends". --Deus Ex Machina (Talk) 22:40, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
ah ha :D that's what I figured. thanks guys.

oh wait xD does that mean I cannot use Miracle Dig to place cards in my graveyard that did not originate in my graveyard? my plan was something like this: if I happen to have Macro Cosmos on the field, and no monsters in my graveyard yet (or no lights and darks) and a few turns later, after some lights and darks have been rerouted out-of-play by Macro Cosmos (without ever hitting the graveyard) I draw an Envoy, I use Miracle Dig to place some lights and darks directly into my graveyard.
since the card says "returns," does that mean that the cards must have originated in the graveyard?

- No, it still works, somehow. It's like how you can return a card to your Hand, even if the card was never in your Hand. --Deus Ex Machina (Talk) 22:53, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
okay, thanks :) well I came up with a non-obvious question for once xD sweet :D

- Well "send" isn't the same as "return". My doubts were correct then. "Deus Ex Machina" thanks again.
- "Specter" your trick should work then. You can return light and dark monsters to the graveyard, with Miracle Dig, and summon the Envoys while Macro Cosmos is in play.

thanks guys :D I needed a few extra brains to help me with my strategy. and yours are the best I know when it comes to cards conflicting. I think if my idea didn't work, I probably would have just ditched the Envoys altogether. Envoys and Macro Cosmos just don't mesh well.
