 * Cards that "cannot be destroyed." (which don't mention "by battle" or "by card effects") cannot be targeted by cards/effects that would destroy them. ("Field Barrier" and "Imperial Custom" are examples of this.)


 * Cards that are banished/Tributed/returned/shuffled/sent (substitute this with "X") to the Graveyard for the inherent Summon of a monster are not treated as being X to activate the effect of that monster. Also, cards that prevent costs from being paid to activate cards/effects cannot prevent the inherent Summon of a monster.
 * See Card Rulings:Atlantean Marksman and Card Rulings:The Tricky, respectively.


 * Monsters that can be Normal Summoned/Set, but can be inherently Special Summoned, have their inherent Special Summons treated as effects. Monsters that cannot be Normal Summoned/Set, but can be inherently Special Summoned, do not have their inherent Special Summons treated as effects.
 * See Card Rulings:Vampire Grace


 * You can banish Tokens for the inherent Summons of monsters and to pay costs.
