Forum:Peten the Dark Clown Ruling(s)

I have two questions regarding Peten the Dark Clown's Ruling:

(1) On the "Card Tips" page for "Peten the Dark Clown", it states:

"Use this card for a discard cost as it will allow you to summon another copy."

Does this mean I could discard Peten for "Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner" or "Karma Cut"/"Phoenix Wing Wind Blast", and activate the effect of Peten to banish itself and special summon another copy? Or would this effect miss its timing?

(2) If you normal summon "Mathematician", send Peten to the graveyard, activate it's effect to banish itself and special summon another copy from the Deck, then overlay for "Leviair, The Sea Dragon", if I detached Peten (xyz material) to special summon the banished copy of Peten back to the field, can I activate the effect of the Peten that was detached as an xyz material, in order to banish itself and special summon another copy from the deck?

Any help would be very appreciated, sorry for the long post! OjaRated (talk • contribs) 15:19, April 9, 2015 (UTC)
