- If Don Zaloog battles an Attack Position Banisher of the Light, Banisher is marked as destroyed at the end of Substep 4 - Damage Calculation, but its Continuous Effect still applies, so any card sent to the GY in Substep 5 - After Damage Calculation (by Don Zaloog) will be banished. Finally, in Substep 7 - End of the Damage Step, Banisher of the Light is sent to the GY.
- Kuriboh and Thunder Dragon can be discarded from your hand and activated while Banisher of the Light is on the field.
