Forum:Timing and Dark Desertapir

BACKGROUND:Moja, on combat death, can add a Level 4 or lower Beast to your hand. Dark Desertapir has an optional effect that activates when it is removed from play. It Special Summons a Level 4 or lower Beast from the Graveyard. I would like to ask several questions:

First- Can I activate the effect of Yellow Baboon in response to a dying Moja and get both of their effects? If so, what order does their resolution take?

Second- What happens if Bazoo the Soul-Eater removes Dark Desertapir from play for its boosting effect? If three 'Tapirs are removed at once, do I get to Special Summon three Beasts? If so, are all Summoned simultaneously, or does the Summoning effect of each Dark Desertapir resolve after each removal? What happens if I try to Special Summon a monster targeted for removal?

Third- If "Spirit Elimination" is active and I remove Dark Desertapir on the field as a substitute for a monster in my Graveyard, can I Special Summon one of the monsters I targeted for removal from the Graveyard? If I Special Summon a different, untargeted Dark Desertapir, can I use it as the target for the second substitute, and so on?

These are all pertinent questions for a Deck I'm building. If you could answer anything, I'd appreciate it greatly! 66.81.255.91 (talk) 05:22, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
