Forum:Destroying a Face-Down Monster

I'm aware that a face-down monster's effects are not active; however, if a face-down monster has an effect that activates in the graveyard, does the effect activate if it was sent there through a battle while it was face down?

Example: Shining Angel:  "When this card is destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 LIGHT monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck, in face-up Attack Position."

Example #2: The White Stone of Legend: "When this card is sent to the Graveyard:  Add 1 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from your Deck to your hand."

English Grammar dictates that the effects activate once the cards go into battle. However, I want to make sure.

Thanks for your time.XrayPeregrine (talk • contribs) 02:33, May 17, 2015 (UTC)
