Forum:The truth & Help behind: Onslaught of the Fire Kings

Look at the 4th Dot point on Card Rulings: Fire King High Avatar Garunix !

I am in confusion as a monster can only be destroyed from on the field (which means there is no such thing as destroying from the deck using a card effect BUT there is only one card that destroys monsters from the hand (the effect of 'Fire King Avatar Yaksha')).

I have played many games with the fire kings and i have had a mixture of results from many people, some people say that i am allowed to send garunix to the graveyard using kirin's effect and garunix effect will still work, when it is in the graveyard .... and then others recomend that it is not allowed.

My question is: If it states that 'It doesn't matter where 'Fire King High Avatar Garunix,' 'Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys' or 'Fire King Avatar Barong' is destroyed (sent to the graveyard either from DECK, FIELD or HAND)' .... then if I just send any of these cards: 'Fire King High Avatar Garunix,' 'Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys' or 'Fire King Avatar Barong,' from my Deck to the graveyard using kirin's effect will any of the 3 cards ('Fire King High Avatar Garunix,' 'Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys' or 'Fire King Avatar Barong') effect still work?

the reason i ask is because there is no such thing (no existance) of destroying a card from your deck using a card effect .... the only existance left or available is by sending a card to your graveyard.

I know that in the official ruling book it says 'DESTROY' means: A card is destroyed when it is sent to the graveyard due to battle between monsters or by an effect that destroys a card. A card that is returned from the field to the hand or deck, or, that is sent to the GRAVEYARD AS A COST or TRIBUTE, is NOT considered "destroyed."

Question: Am I sending a monster to the graveyard, by using kirin's effect?

Question: Is my Fire King High Avatar Garunix effect allowed to activate whilst in the graveyard, when it is sent to the graveyard (dead/destroyed) by card effects?

Question: If i use Kirin's effect, Am I sending my 'Fire King High Avatar Garunix' or 'Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys' to the GRAVEYARD AS A COST or TRIBUTE, from the effect of Fire King Avatar Kirin, when it is sent to the graveyard?

To Pay A Cost means: To pay a cost is an action required in order to activate a card, an effect, or to summon a monster. Tributing is a tribute summon a level 5 monster is an example of a cost. Other common costs are DISCARDING, PAYING LIFE POINTS, or BANISHING CARDS. You have to pay any cost BEFORE YOU DECLARE THE ACTIVATION OF A CARD. Even if the activation of the card is negated, you cannot get a refund of the cost that you have paid.

I do not pay any costs for activations to take place !

Send To The Graveyard means: A card can be sent to the graveyard in various ways. Destroying a card, discarding, and tributing a monster are all actions that send a card to the graveyard, and will normally activate "When this card is sent to the graveyard..." Trigger effect

All i know is once a card goes to the grave it is dead/destroyed.
