Forum:PHANTOM OF CHAOS??

I'm just asking.. can you remove from play a Flip Effect monster (let's say Mask of Darkness), and get its effect? SCENARIO:

You have a Phantom of Chaos in your Graveyard; you used Monster Reborn to Special Summon it to your side of the field. You activate its effect; you removed from play a 'Mask of Darkness'... Can you add 1 Trap Card from your Graveyard to your hand? Because I just dueled someone using a Dark World deck, and I used his to remove from play Mask of Darkness.. He was pretty confident that I am not allowed to do what I just did... SO can anyone clarify things up for me? If possible could you e-mail me at djtan2004@yahoo.com ? Thanks a lot!!!

P.S. Yes, I did lose the Match with him...:(
