Forum:Reviving a Gyzarus

This is the situation. My cousin (who runs a gladiator beast deck) special summons a gladiator beast darius from the deck, and uses the effect to revive a gladiator beast gyzarus. This is the text on Gladiator beast Gyzarus. "This card can only be Special Summoned from your Fusion Deck by returning the above cards you control to the Deck." I told him that he can't revive it, because of this ruling "This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon; Blanket statement; used predominantly on Elemental Heroes. This means that, even if you Fusion Summon the card correctly first, you cannot Special Summon it again afterwards. This also means you cannot use cards such as Metamorphosis or Cyber-Stein to directly Special Summon the Fusion Monster(s) from the Fusion Deck. " This statement said if the text of the card contains that first line, that even if the monster was special summoned correctly, it CANNOT be revived or special summoned again afterwards. Now onto the effect of a elemental hero to compare. This is the text of Elemental Hero Chaos Neos "This card can only be Special Summoned from your Fusion Deck by returning the above cards you control to the Deck." The exact same text as gyzarus, and the ruling also affects it. He said that he CAN special summon, what he read from another forum about the ruling. My question is whether or not you can revive a Gyzarus, even if it were summoned correctly the first time.Quest4Questions 01:46, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
