Card Rulings:Silpheed

OCG Rulings

 * "This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by removing from play 1 WIND monster in your Graveyard." is not treated as an effect. It is a procedure to Special Summon a Special Summon Monster. (Banishing WIND monsters and Special Summoning this card are not considered to happen simultaneously.)


 * After "Silpheed" is Special Summoned, if it is sent to the Graveyard, it can be Special Summoned with "Monster Reborn".


 * The "When this card is destroyed as a result of battle and sent to the Graveyard, your opponent discards 1 random card from their hand." effect is a Trigger Effect.


 * The effect of "Silpheed" is a mandatory effect that is activated when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard. (It activates and starts a Chain Link even if your opponent has no cards in their hand.)
