Card Rulings:Destiny HERO - Doom Lord


 * This is an Ignition Effect.


 * You can select a face-up or face-down monster to remove from play. A face-down monster removed with this effect will remain face-down while removed from play. So if a face-down "D.D. Scout Plane" is removed from play, its effect will not activate.


 * Returning the monster to play cannot be chained to. The effect will resolve and the monster will return to play during your 2nd Standby Phase even if "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" is no longer on the field or is flipped face-down (even as a chain to the activation of his effect).


 * If your 2nd Standby Phase is skipped by the effect of a card like "Solomon's Lawbook", then the removed monster will never return to play.


 * You can activate "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord's" effect even if your Battle Phase is going to be skipped because of a card effect like "Soul Exchange".


 * If you declared an attack then you cannot activate "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord's" effect this turn, even if your only attack was negated.


 * If both players have "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" and "Berserk Gorilla" face-up on the field you can still activate "Doom Lord's" effect. "Berserk Gorilla" will not be able to attack that turn.


 * If all 5 of your opponent's Monster Card Zones are full when the removed monster would return to play, it is destroyed.
