Forum:Rule of Sending to the Graveyard

As every savvy duelist had known, there are cards with effects that activate when it is sent to the graveyard. So some effects are Sangan, Genesis Dragon, Ojamagic and Limiter Overload. However, one thing that remains inconsistent from each of them is that some of the effects can miss the timing but some cannot. Well, what are some of the cards that cannot miss the timing? As far as I know, Sangan and Dandylion are able to activate their effects even when the part where they are sent to the graveyard is not the last thing to happen. Some that CAN miss the timing are (as far as I know) Dupe Frog and Genesis Dragon. If you tribute them, you summoned a monster, and their transfer will not be the last to happen, so they can miss the timing.

When I read their effects again, I realised that those that can miss the timing are those that can optionally activate their effects and those that cannot are mandatory effects. Is that how you can tell if the card can miss the timing or not? In that case, would Limiter Overload be immune to missing the timing? Alrightio 13:48, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
