- This card is only activated if sent from the field to the GY. There is no way to activate this card while it is Set on the field.
- Statue of the Wicked activates its effect even if it is destroyed on the same turn it was Set.
- If Banisher of the Light is in play, then Statue of the Wicked does not activate its effect when destroyed, because it is not sent to the GY.
- Statue of the Wicked activates its effect even if you destroy your own Statue of the Wicked.
