Forum:Altar for tribute confusion

The card text of altar for tribute state select one monster you control and send it to the graveyard and increase your life point by the same amount of the original attack.

It show in the card ruling sending a monster card to the graveyard is a cost, and than it also show you can send a token to the graveyard as a cost, and you would not gain any life point because the token is remove from the field.

According to other card ruling other card if a cost to activated the card requires the card to be send to the gravyard and the card cannot be send to the graveyard because it is a token monster you cannot activated the card.

Is sending a monster card to the graveyard is a cost to activated the card, or a cost to receive life points?96.44.82.53 (talk) 00:12, November 16, 2010 (UTC)
