OCG Rulings[]
- This card cannot be activated during the Damage Step.[1]
- You can Special Summon a monster with the same name as the Tributed monster.[1]
- If the Level on the field of the Winged Beast-Type monster Tributed as a cost has changed on the field, the Level of the monster Special Summoned from the Deck will be the same as the Tributed monster on the field.[2]
- You can Special Summon a monster from your Deck with the same name as the monster Tributed to activate "Swallow's Nest".[3]
- Since "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" is a monster that you can only control 1 copy of, while you control "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" you cannot activate effects that would Special Summon "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" in most cases. (The same applies for effects that Tribute "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" as a cost, like "Swallow's Nest".) However, if there is a monster other than "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" in your Deck that is of the same Level as the Tributed monster (like "Raiza the Storm Monarch"), "Swallow's Nest" can be activated by Tributing "Alector, Sovereign of Birds", Special Summoning "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" from the Deck during the resolution of that effect.[4]
