All that glitters isn’t gold.


YF09-JP001: Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon
• The sentence, “Must be Synchro Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways.” is not considered a monster effect. (This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard with Monster Reborn, etc.)
• The (1) effect of this card is a Quick Effect. (Banishing 1 Synchro Monster from your Graveyard is a cost to activate this effect. Also, you cannot activate this effect during the Damage Step.)
• The effect of making it unaffected by other card effects is applied to Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon itself. (This effect does not target.)
• The (2) effect of this card is a Trigger Effect. (This effect targets 1 of your banished Dragon-Type Synchro Monsters. You can activate this effect during the Damage Step.)
• This effect can be activated whether Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon is destroyed by battle with an opponent’s monster or destroyed by an opponent’s card effect.

Q: If my Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon is destroyed and banished by the effect of Bottomless Trap Hole activated by my opponent, can I activate the effect of Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon that Special Summons 1 of my banished Dragon-Type Synchro Monsters?
A: Normally, the effect of Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon that Special Summons 1 of your banished Dragon-Type Synchro Monsters activates in the Graveyard when Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon is destroyed by your opponent’s card. Even if Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon is destroyed and banished by your opponent’s Bottomless Trap Hole, you can activate this effect. (In this case, it activates where banished cards are placed.) Note that when you activate this effect, you cannot target Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon itself, since Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon cannot be Special Summoned except by Synchro Summon, so you must target another banished Dragon-Type Synchro Monster.
