Forum:Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru

Can someone please explain to me how exactly Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru works? I understand the first portion of the effect, and I understand that you skip your draw so you can only return one Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru to your hand. However, I am confused by the second portion of the effect following the "and/or."

First of all, can I only activate the second portion of Iron Core's effect during my draw phase or can I discard a Koa'ki Meiru monster at any time during my turn (during the end phase maybe)? Secondly, if I skip my draw phase to return Iron Core (#1) to my hand, can I also discard a monster to return a second Iron Core (#2) to my hand in the same turn? Similarly, if I skip my draw and discard two Koa'ki Meiru monster, can I return 3 Iron Cores to my hand? Also, can I discard a Koa'ki Meiru monster instead of skipping my draw or do I have to skip drawing first?

Basically, the "and/or" is really just confusing me about when I can or am able to activate effects. If anyone could explain to me how this all works I'd really appreciate it. 69.115.153.2 03:05, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
