Card Rulings:Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon

OCG Rulings

 * The "You can Tribute 1 LIGHT monster; send 1 "Odd-Eyes Dragon" from your side of the field, hand or Deck to the Graveyard, and if you do, Special Summon this card from your hand." effect is an Ignition Effect that is activated from the hand. (It does not target. Tributing 1 LIGHT monster you control is a cost to activated this effect. You can also Tribute a face-down Defense Position LIGHT monster.)


 * Sending 1 "Odd-Eyes Dragon" to the Graveyard and Special Summoning this card are considered to happen simultaneously. (Sending "Odd-Eyes Dragon" to the Graveyard is part of the effect. It is not a cost.)


 * While the effect of "Stellarknight Constellar Diamond" is being applied, if you can send 1 "Odd-Eyes Dragon" from your hand or face-up from your side of the field to the Graveyard, then you can activate the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" from the hand. (This effect cannot be activated, if you only have copies of "Odd-Eyes Dragon" in your Deck.) If the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" is activated from the hand and "Stellarknight Constellar Diamond" is Special Summon by a "Xyz Reborn" activated in a chain, if you can send 1 "Odd-Eyes Dragon" from your hand or face-up from your side of the field to the Graveyard, "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" is Special Summoned. If you only have copies of "Odd-Eyes Dragon" in your Deck, "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" is not Special Summoned. (It remains in the hand.)


 * If you control a "Odd-Eyes Dragon" treated as an Equip Card by the effect of "Relinquished", you can activate the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" from the hand. You can send 1 face-up "Odd-Eyes Dragon" in your Spell & Trap Zone to the Graveyard.


 * If the effect of "Vanity's Emptiness" is being applied, you cannot activate the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" from the hand. If the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" is activated from the hand and "Vanity's Emptiness" is activated in a chain, "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" is not Special Summoned. In this case, you still send 1 "Odd-Eyes Dragon" from your side of the field, hand or Deck to the Graveyard.


 * If the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" is activated from the hand and "Macro Cosmos" is activated in a chain, "Odd-Eyes Dragon" is banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard and "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" is not Special Summoned from the hand. (It remains in the hand.) Even if the effect of "Macro Cosmos" is active, you can still activate the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon", but the effect resolves as in the previous scenario.


 * If the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" is activated from the hand and "Mind Crush" is activated in a chain, "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" is not Special Summoned. In this case, you still send 1 "Odd-Eyes Dragon" from your side of the field, hand or Deck to the Graveyard.


 * You cannot send a face-down "Odd-Eyes Dragon" you control to the Graveyard. You must send 1 "Odd-Eyes Dragon" from your hand, Deck or face-up from your side of the field to the Graveyard.


 * The "When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can destroy 1 monster your opponent controls." effect is a Trigger Effect. (It can be activated at the end of the Damage Step. It does not target.)


 * If this card battles a monster with the same ATK and both monsters are destroyed by battle, this effect cannot be activated.


 * If "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" destroys a monster that you own by battle and is sent from your opponent's side of the field to your Graveyard, the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" can be activated.


 * If "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" destroys an "Embodiment of Apophis" treated as a monster by battle, "Embodiment of Apophis" is sent to the Graveyard as a Trap Card. Since a monster was not destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" cannot be activated.


 * If "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" destroys a monster by battle while "Macro Cosmos" is active, or when it destroys a "Plaguespreader Zombie" Special Summoned by its own effect by battle, since the destroyed monster is banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard, the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" cannot be activated.


 * If "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" destroys a Token Monster or a Pendulum Monster by battle, since they are not sent to the Graveyard, the effect of "Odd-Eyes Saber Dragon" cannot be activated.
