Card-specific notes from database

  • (Konami neuron) This card's effect to Special Summon itself cannot be activated if it is in your opening hand at the start of the Duel, as it was not drawn.
  • (Konami neuron) If you have no available Main Monster Zones when drawn, the effect to Special Summon cannot be activated. If you have no available zones at resolution, this card is sent to the Graveyard.
  • (Konami neuron) If this card attacks a face-down monster, its ATK is not doubled at the start of the Damage Step. If the monster is flipped face-up before damage calculation and is DARK, this card's ATK is doubled.
  • (YGOResources) If an ATK-modifying effect is activated before damage calculation, the ATK is recalculated, and the final value is doubled by this card's Continuous Effect.
  • (YGOResources) If this card's ATK was halved by an effect like 'Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind' (to 1250) and it battles a DARK monster, its ATK is doubled to 2500 during the Damage Step, then returns to 1250 after the Damage Step.
  • (YGOResources) If this card and 'Dark Magician' are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard at the same time, you can activate this card's effect to Special Summon that same 'Dark Magician' from the Graveyard.
  • (YGOResources) If this card is destroyed in the hand by a chained effect (like 'Crush Card Virus') after activating its effect to Special Summon itself, it is not Special Summoned, but its effect to Special Summon 'Dark Magician' can be activated in the Graveyard after the Chain resolves.
