Card Rulings:D.D. Crow

TCG Rulings

 * This is a Multi-Trigger Effect.


 * Discarding "D.D. Crow" to activate its effect is a cost.


 * You cannot activate this effect during the Damage Step.

Mentions in Other Rulings

 * Felgrand Dragon: If "Felgrand Dragon" is sent from the field to the Graveyard and afterwards it is removed from play (with "D.D. Crow", etc.), "Felgrand Dragon" cannot be Special Summoned with "Dimension Fusion" because "Felgrand Dragon" cannot be Special Summoned from the Removed Zone. If the "Felgrand Dragon" is returned to the Graveyard from the Removed Zone (with “Miracle Dig”, etc.), the “Felgrand Dragon” cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard because it was not sent from the field to the Graveyard.


 * Light and Darkness Dragon: If the monster you select to Special Summon is removed from the Graveyard in Chain (by using “D.D. Crow”, etc.), before resolving the effect of “Light and Darkness Dragon”, the selected monster will not be Special Summoned but you will still destroy every card that you control.

OCG Rulings

 * You cannot choose to activate effects like "D.D. Crow" while "Imperial Iron Wall" is active. If "Imperial Iron Wall" is chained to such an effect/card, then no card is removed from play.


 * If "D.D. Crow" removes "Stardust Dragon" from play, then "Stardust Dragon" will not Special Summon itself during the End Phase. This applies even if "Stardust Dragon" is returned to the Graveyard.


 * If "D.D. Crow" is chained to "Miracle Fertilizer" and removes the targeted Plant-Type monster from the Graveyard, then the second part of "Miracle Fertilizer"'s effect is not applied and you can Normal Summon or Set this turn.
