OCG Rulings

 * This card can be Tribute Summoned by Tributing 1 monster that was Tribute Summoned in face-down Defense Position (Set).


 * The "If this card is Tribute Summoned: Target 1 card on the field; banish the target, and if you do, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent, also if the target was a DARK monster, banish all copies of that DARK monster from its owner's hand, Main Deck, Extra Deck and Graveyard." effect is a mandatory Trigger Effect. (It targets 1 card on the field.)


 * If this card was Tribute Summoned by Tributing a DARK monster, instead of targeting 1 card on the field, you can target 2 cards. (When this effect is activated, you decide whether to target 1 or 2 cards.)


 * "banish the target(s)" and "inflict 1000 damage to your opponent" are considered to happen simultaneously. If the banished monster was a DARK monster, the last thing to happen when the effect resolves is "banish all copies of that DARK monster(s) from its owner's hand, Main Deck, Extra Deck and Graveyard.".

(The targeted card is not banished, your opponent takes no damage, and the "if the target was a DARK monster" part is not applied.)
