Card Rulings:Altar for Tribute


 * Sending a monster to the Graveyard for "Altar for Tribute" is a cost.


 * You can select a Token Monster as the cost for "Altar for Tribute", but you won't gain any Life Points because Tokens are taken off the field instead of going to the Graveyard.


 * You can send your opponent's monster that you control to the Graveyard as the cost for "Altar for Tribute", and you would gain the Life Points.


 * [Re: Embodiment of Apophis] When "Embodiment of Apophis" is sent to the Graveyard, it is sent as a Trap Card and remains treated as a Trap Card. You cannot revive it with "Monster Reborn" or retrieve it with "Return of the Doomed". It will not trigger "Last Will". You cannot activate "Michizure". It will not be Special Summoned by "Red-Moon Baby". No damage is inflicted by "KA-2 Des Scissors" or "Inferno" or "Fatal Abacus". "Emes the Infinity" does not increase its ATK. No Life Points are increased by "Absorbing Kid from the Sky". You would not gain Life Points for "Altar for Tribute". (You can, however, now add it back to your hand with "Mask of Darkness".)
