Helpoemer
Card effect (current official text)Cannot be Special Summoned from the GY. At the end of your opponent's Battle Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was destroyed by battle: Make your opponent discard 1 random card. This card must be in the GY to activate and to resolve this effect.
Rulings
- When you have multiple Helpoemer cards in your GY, each with an activated effect, the effects are cumulative.
- If your opponent chooses not to conduct a Battle Phase, there is no timing for the end of the Battle Phase, so the effect of Helpoemer is not activated. The same is true if the Battle Phase is skipped due to a card effect.
- Helpoemer cannot be Special Summoned from the GY even if it was not destroyed by battle (the final sentence on Helpoemer is a condition, not an effect, and is not subject to the first sentence on Helpoemer).
- Q: If "Helpoemer" is sent to the GY without being involved in battle, can it be Special Summoned from the GY with "Monster Reborn" or some other card effect? A: The condition of not being able to Special Summon Helpoemer from the GY is true irregardless of how it gets into the GY.
