OCG Rulings

 * This card cannot be Special Summoned, except by Ritual Summon. (It cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with "Monster Reborn".)


 * The "During either player's turn: You can discard this card, then target 1 "Nekroz" monster you control; it cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects this turn." effect is a Quick Effect that is activated from the hand. (It targets 1 face-up "Nekroz" monster you control. Discarding this card is a cost to activate this effect.)


 * The "During either player's turn: You can discard 1 "Nekroz" card, then target 1 card on the field; destroy it." effect is a Quick Effect that is activated from the field. (It targets 1 card on the field. Discarding 1 "Nekroz" card is a cost to activate this effect.)


 * The effects of "Nekroz of Gungnir" cannot be activated during the Damage Step.


 * If a monster affected by the effect of "Nekroz of Gungnir" that is activated from the hand is changed to face-down Defense Position by the effect of "Book of Moon", the effect of "Nekroz of Gungnir" is no longer applied. (It can be destroyed by battle or card effects.)


 * When resolving the effect of "Nekroz of Gungnir" that is activated from the hand, even if the targeted monster is in face-down Defense Position by the effect of "Book of Moon", the effect is applied normally. It cannot be destroyed by card effects like "Dark Hole" while it is in face-down Defense Position. If it is flipped face-up, the effect remains applied, and it cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects.


 * The effect of "Nekroz of Gungnir" that is activated from the hand cannot be activated by targeting a "Nekroz" monster that cannot be destroyed by battle and cards effects, for example, a monster affected by "Mist Body" and "Sea Lord's Amulet". However, if a "Nekroz" monster cannot be destroyed battle or card effect, but not both, then the effect of "Nekroz of Gungnir" that is activated from the hand can be activated.
