Card Rulings:D.D. Survivor

TCG Rulings

 * The effect of "D.D. Survivor" activates during the End Phase if "D.D. Survivor" is currently removed from play. It does NOT activate at the moment he is removed from play. You can chain to this effect.


 * The effect of "D.D. Survivor" can only be activated once per turn.


 * If your "D.D. Survivor" is on your opponent's side of the field when it is removed from play its effect will not be activated. This is because it is in your Removed Zone, but was not on "your side of the field" when it was removed from play.


 * If "Macro Cosmos" is active on the field and a face-down "D.D. Survivor" on your side of the field is destroyed by battle, its effect will not activate. "D.D. Survivor" needs to be face-up when it is selected as an attack target in order for its effect to activate. (Similar to "Poison Draw Frog".)


 * You can activate "Divine Wrath" against the effect of "D.D. Survivor" when it activates during the End Phase. In this case, "D.D. Survivor" is not actually Special Summoned. "D.D. Survivor" remains removed from play (its effect doesn't activate again).


 * If "Skill Drain" is active when "D.D. Survivor" is removed from play, it is still Special Summoned because its effect activates during the End Phase while it is removed from play.


 * If you have no open Monster Card Zones during your End Phase, and "D.D. Survivor" is currently removed from play, he is not Special Summoned.


 * If "D.D. Survivor" is removed from play, then placed in the Graveyard with "Miracle Dig", he is not Special Summoned.


 * If "D.D. Survivor" is removed from play with "Dimensionhole", and "D.D. Survivor" is Special Summoned by its effect, the effect of "Dimensionhole" ends (freeing up the "occupied" Monster Card Zone) even though the effect of "Dimensionhole" did not return "D.D. Survivor" to the field.


 * If "D.D. Survivor" or "D.D. Scout Plane" is removed from play with "Interdimensional Matter Transporter", you can choose whether it is Special Summoned (with its effect) or returned to the field (with "Interdimensional Matter Transporter").

Mentions in Other Rulings

 * Cyber Blader: When the opponent has exactly 3 monsters, "Cyber Blader's" effect only negates the effects of Spell, Trap, and Effect Monster Cards that activate or are active on the field. It will not negate the effect of..."D.D. Survivor".


 * Return from the Different Dimension: If "D.D. Survivor"...is Special Summoned by "Return from the Different Dimension", when it is removed from play during the End Phase it will be Special Summoned back to the field during the same End Phase.
