| − | * You can use [[Dimensionhole]] to keep this card on the field since it will remove it from play on the turn Gandora was summoned, meaning that the turn's End Phase that it would have been "sent to the Graveyard" has been legally skipped and Gandora will be able to stay as long as you want. However, Gandora's attack will return to 0 during the next Standby Phase when it returns to the field, but it can accumulate [[ATK]] later on. For this reason, you might not want to use it's effect during the turn it is summoned, instead remove it and use it when it comes back. |
