Forum:Ruling questions

1)The Rulings page in Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame said this:In order for its effect to activate, “Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame” must be face-up on the field when the monster it destroyed by battle is sent to the Graveyard. This means:

* If Shura and the other monster destroy each other by battle (equal ATK), Shura’s effect does not activate. * If Shura is destroyed by a Flip Effect like “Man-Eater Bug,” Shura’s effect does not activate. * If Shura is flipped face-down after damage calculation by a card effect, such as “Desertapir,” Shura’s effect does not activate. * If Shura is removed from play by battling “D.D. Warrior,” Shura’s effect does not activate. * If Shura is destroyed by an effect after the monster it destroyed by battle was sent to the Graveyard, such as “Michizure,” Shura’s effect DOES activate, and you can Special Summon a monster. o NOTE: These rules also apply to any other monster with the text “When this card destroys an opponent’s monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard….” (Examples: “Hydrogeddon,” “Goyo Guardian,” or “Elemental Hero Flame Wingman.”) o These rules do NOT apply to monsters with the text “When this card destroys an opponent’s monster by battle….” (but does not specify “and sends it to the Graveyard”). (Example: “Blue Thunder T-45”.) Monsters with that text will activate their effects in ALL of the above scenarios.

How are they different?They seem to be the same except for the send to graveyard part.

2)If Zeta Reticulant is descarded as a cost for Karma Cut ,do I get a token?

3)This is a Ruling from the page of Crystal Abundance :   * You cannot activate this card while "Macro Cosmos" is active.[1]

* You can activate this card while "Dimensional Fissure" is active. The "Crystal Beast" Monster Cards sent to pay the cost are sent to the Graveyard, not removed from play

How are the situations different?
