Card Rulings:The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil

OCG Rulings

 * "Target 1 face-up monster you control; that target gains 300 ATK and DEF." effect targets 1 face-up monster you control. (If this card is activated during the Damage Step, it can be activated from the start of the Damage Step until before damage calculation.)


 * "When your opponent declares a direct attack while this card is in your Graveyard: You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard as a Normal Monster (Warrior-Type/DARK/Level 4/ATK 0/DEF 300) in face-up Defense Position. (This card is not a Trap Card.) If Summoned this way, banish this card when it leaves the field." effect activates from the Graveyard and it starts a Chain Link. (If you have multiples copies of "Phantom Knights Shadow Veil" in your Graveyard, the effect of each of them can be activated in a Chain.)


 * After this card is Special Summoned as a Normal Monster, it is not treated as a Trap Card. (It cannot be destroyed by "Mystical Space Typhoon". Also, it does not use any of your Spell & Trap Zones.)


 * After this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, even if all Trap Cards are negated by the effect of "Royal Decree", since this card is not treated as a Trap Card when it is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, it remains in the Monster Zone. (When "Royal Decree" is activated, this card is not placed on your Spell & Trap Zones.)


 * After this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, if it is flipped face-down by the effect "Book of Moon", it will be flipped face-down in the Monster Zone. (It is not Set in your Spell & Trap Zones.) After that, if it is flipped face-up, it will be still treated as a Normal Monster (Warrior-Type/DARK/Level 4/ATK 0/DEF 300), but the "If Summoned this way, banish this card when it leaves the field." is no longer applied. (If it is destroyed, it will be sent to the Graveyard.)


 * After this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, it does not use any of your Spell & Trap Zones. As long as you have a free Monster Zone, this card can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard even if all of your Spell & Trap Zones are occupied.
