Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch
Card effect (current official text)If this card is Tribute Summoned: Discard 1 random card from your opponent's hand, then, if it was a Monster Card, inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original Level x 100.
Rulings
- If you Tribute Summon Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch successfully, and your opponent discards a monster like Outstanding Dog Marron or Regenerating Mummy, you still inflict damage because the monster was discarded to the GY (even though it doesn’t remain there).
- If Banisher of the Light is face-up on the field, no damage is inflicted because the card is not discarded to the GY.
