Card Rulings:Hi-Speedroid Kendama

OCG Rulings

 * This card is treated as a "roid" monster.


 * The "If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent." effect is a Continuous Effect.


 * The "You can banish 1 Machine-Type monster from your Graveyard; inflict 500 damage to your opponent." effect is an Ignition Effect. (It does not target. Banishing 1 Machine-Type monster from your Graveyard is a cost to activate this effect.)


 * The "If this card is in the Graveyard and you control no cards: You can Special Summon this card. You cannot Normal Summon/Set during the turn you activate this effect." effect is an Ignition Effect that is activated from the Graveyard. (It does not target.)


 * You cannot Special Summon this card from the Graveyard using its own effect during a turn in which you have already Normal Summoned a monster.


 * When resolving the "If this card is in the Graveyard and you control no cards: You can Special Summon this card." effect, if this effect is negated by the effect of "The Fabled Unicore", this card is not Special Summoned. Even in this case, since this effect was activated, "You cannot Normal Summon/Set during the turn you activate this effect." is applied. (You cannot Normal Summon during that turn.)


 * If the activation of the "If this card is in the Graveyard and you control no cards: You can Special Summon this card." effect is negated by "Divine Wrath", you can Normal Summon during that turn.
