Does reptile monster cards have to be on your side of field AND in the graveyard to summon him? or can there just be reptile monsters in your grave? Or just reptile monster on the field ?

  • You have to remove ALL reptiles from both graveyard and field. ATEMVEGETA (Talk) 09:20, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
  • And that's his summoning conditions ? meaning , if your opponent has no reptile monsters in their grave and/or you have no reptile monsters on your side of the field and in the grave , he can't be summoned at all ? are you sure that's how his effect works ? that doesn't sound right... can you explain his summoning conditions? --SpikeTrigger 12:35, 7 June 2009 (UTC)SpikeTrigger

It's effect is "This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by removing from play all Reptile-Type monsters from your side of the field and Graveyard. This card's ATK and DEF are each equal to the number of Reptile-Type monsters you removed x 600. During each of your End Phases, destroy 1 card on the field."

So if you got none in your field and graveyard, you can still summon it but its attack and defense will be 0. As for your enemy's graveyard, it doesn't matter since it only removes reptiles from your graveyard and your field.Renz0kuken 12:49, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

The Reptile monsters can be only on your field, or only in your Graveyard, or in a combination of both.
Removing all reptile monsters is the cost to summon Evil Dragon Ananta, so you cannot summon him if you have no reptile monsters in your graveyard or on your field.

I would like to challenge this ruling. There are three types of numbers, those being, "natural", "whole", and "integers". Yu-Gi-Oh uses the "whole" type which includes the "zero". In a "whole" number system I can take away zero. Eg. 1 - 0 = 1. Using this logic, Evil Dragon Ananta will check the field and graveyard and remove (even zero) reptiles allowing the summon. I'll give you another example. Let's say that you have 1 reptile on the field and 0 in the graveyard. Ananta will check the field, removing it, then in turn, remove zero from the graveyard. (1r - 1r) + (0r - 0r). The confusion arises from the card not requiring a minimum amount of reptiles. It would dramatically clear this debate up with errata. Hexxorr 09:04, October 12 2012
Actually, it's the opposite of what you said. You can't Summon it if you don't banish at least 1 Reptile-Type monster, from either your field or Graveyard. There are tons of cards that work the same way, so why would you need an Errata? As to the original question, you can banish form both your field and Graveyard, but only from your field or Graveyard, not the opponent's. MadRest 12:00, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
Like Sénior D said, just take a look at this lore - (This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set.) =This card cannot be Special Summoned except by removing from play all Reptile-Type monsters= {from your side of the field and Graveyard}. [This card's ATK and DEF] are <each equal to the number of Reptile-Type monsters you removed x 600.> }During each of your End Phases, destroy 1 card on the field.{ - That's how I can realizing this card's effect work. After the line with equal symbol (=), it is grouped up together. It's apparently pointing to only your side of the field and your own cemetery. If we had to including the opponent's cemetery, it would be written like this - Must be Special Summoned by banish all Reptile-Type monsters you control or from either Graveyards, and blahblah. So look at the last three words, it will say you can also banish all reptiles from both cemetery - but in printed card's lore, it only look at your own. "Graveyard" =/= "Graveyards". Know the difference, are we good? --iFredCat 12:09, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
