Forum:Spirit Monster question

If a Spirit Monster is set face down, and an opponent's monster attacks it, but fails to destroy it by battle, does the spirit monster return to the hand during that end phase, or does the "flipped face up" part of the return effect only apply to flip summoning?

ex: player A sets izanami and passes, player B summons Warrior Dai Grepher and attacks, takes 100 damage. 74.243.26.114 (talk) 20:12, April 23, 2012 (UTC)
