The one point of contention for me is that I couldn't find any ruling that says you can't flip a monster that you set. Common sense dictates that you shouldn't be able to. I think I remember in one of the printed rulebooks that it said you could perform a flip of a special summoned monster, but most cards that do that won't allow you to set them. The shallow grave seems to be one of the cards that does however.

So, does it work?
