Card Rulings:Gigantes

OCG Rulings

 * "This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by removing from play 1 EARTH monster in your Graveyard." is not treated as an effect. It is a procedure to Special Summon a Special Summon Monster. (Banishing 1 EARTH monster and Special Summoning this card are not considered to happen simultaneously.)


 * After "Gigantes" is Special Summoned, if it is sent to the Graveyard, it can be Special Summoned with "Monster Reborn".


 * The "When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field." effect is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target. It activates at the end of the Damage Step.)


 * The effect of "Gigantes" is a mandatory effect that is activated when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard. (It activates and starts a Chain Link even if there are no Spell/Trap Cards on the field.)
