Rulings
- If Felgrand Dragon is sent from the field to the GY and afterwards it is removed from play (with D.D. Crow, etc.), Felgrand Dragon cannot be Special Summoned with Dimension Fusion because Felgrand Dragon cannot be Special Summoned from the Removed Zone. If the "Felgrand Dragon" is returned to the GY from the Removed Zone (with "Miracle Dig", etc.), the "Felgrand Dragon" cannot be Special Summoned from the GY because it was not sent from the field to the GY.
- The ATK gained by Felgrand Dragon when it is Special Summoned disappears when Felgrand Dragon is removed from the field or flipped face-down.
- If Skill Drain is face-up on the field when Felgrand Dragon is Special Summoned, or if Skill Drain is activated after Felgrand Dragon is Special Summoned, Skill Drain will negate Felgrand Dragon's ATK gaining effect. If Skill Drain is later negated or removed from the field, the ATK gain is not reapplied.
- When Felgrand Dragon is Special Summoned, its controller selects 1 monster in his/her GY as a target. If the selected monster is removed from play in chain to this effect, Felgrand Dragon's effect will disappear and it will not gain ATK.
- After Felgrand Dragon's ATK gaining effect is resolved, the ATK gain will not disappear if the selected monster is removed from the GY.
- The text "This monster cannot be Special Summoned except from the GY, and only if it was sent there from the field" is a condition and not an effect. It cannot be negated by "Dark Ruler Ha Des", etc.
