Forum:Kidmodo Dragon Activation

I know that since Kidmodo Dragon has an if effect and not a when effect, it does not miss the timing if you tribute it or discard it for an effect. However, since it says "if" and not "when", and its restriction (cannot conduct the battle phase or special summon non dragon types) says "the turn you activate this effect", does that mean you don't have to activate its effect on the turn it is sent to the graveyard? In other words, if you activate divine wrath on your opponent's turn discarding Kidmodo Dragon, can you use it's effect on your next turn (assuming you draw a dragon) because it was sent to the graveyard (but not that turn)? Also, in the previous example, can you activate Kidmodo Dragon's effect at all, seeing as you cannot chain kidmodo dragon's effect to divine wrath? Or can you start a new chain with Kidmodo Dragon's effect after divine wrath resolves? Are "if" effects quick effects?Surya97 (talk • contribs) 01:57, July 8, 2016 (UTC)
