TCG Rulings[]
- Earthbound Immortal Cusillu: Tributing 1 other monster you control is an effect, not a cost. If you Tribute “Lich Lord, King of the Underworld” for this effect, it will return to your hand.
OCG Rulings[]
- The monster Tributed by "Earthbound Immortal Cusillu" instead of having "Earthbound Immortal Cusillu" be destroyed by battle is treated as being Tributed by an effect. If "Lich Lord, King of the Underworld" is Tributed, then the effect which returns "Lich Lord, King of the Underworld" to your hand will activate.[1]
Previously Official Rulings[]
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[4] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- This card's effect will be activated if it is Tributed from the hand for a Ritual Spell Card.[2]
- See "Diabolos, King of the Abyss" for Tribute Summon rulings.
Judge List Rulings
- Tributing "Lich Lord, King of the Underworld" to pay an activation cost will not activate its effect and as a result it will not return to its owner's hand.[2]
- "Lich Lord, King of the Underworld's" effect activates in the Graveyard. So the opponent can chain "D.D. Crow", as long as it is not the Damage Step, and remove "Lich Lord, King of the Underworld" from play.[3]
