Card Rulings:Drill Warrior

OCG Rulings

• The effect of "Drill Warrior" which adds a card to your hand is resolved as the same effect which Special Summons the "Drill Warrior" which is removed from play.

• You discard one card when resolving the effect of "Drill Warrior" which removes from play. It is not a cost to activate the effect.

• The effect of "Drill Warrior" which removes it from play and the effect which Special Summons it are not treated as the same effect; "Drill Warrior" is not treated as being removed from play temporarily. Thus, if the effect of "Drill Warrior" removes it from play after control of it switches by an effect like "Mark of the Rose" or "Brain Control" or "Creature Swap", then "Drill Warrior" will be Special Summoned to its original owner's side of the field during its original owner's next Standby Phase, and its original owner adds a card from his Graveyard to his hand.

• "Drill Warrior" is Special Summoned during the Standby Phase, and afterwards you add a card to your hand. The two are not treated as resolving simultaneously. Thus, "Bottomless Trap Hole" cannot be activated; you miss the timing since you add a card to your hand after "Drill Warrior" is Special Summoned.

• The effect of "Drill Warrior" which halves its ATK gives it the ability to attack directly. The effect does not force "Drill Warrior" to attack directly during that turn's Battle Phase, so "Drill Warrior" can still attack a monster.

• If "Drill Warrior" halves its ATK by its own effect, then its ATK remains halved as long as "Drill Warrior" remains face-up on the field. If "Drill Warrior" is flipped face-down or is removed from the field, then its ATK returns to the original amount.
