OCG Rulings[]
- "Burial from a Different Dimension" and "Miracle Dig" can only be activated by selecting monsters which are removed from play face-up. If a monster is removed from play face-down - such as by the effect of "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" - then it cannot be returned to the Graveyard by effects like that of "Miracle Dig".[1]
Previously Official Rulings[]
These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[2] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

- This is an Ignition Effect.
- You can select a face-up or face-down monster to remove from play. A face-down monster removed with this effect will remain face-down while removed from play. So if a face-down "D.D. Scout Plane" is removed from play, its effect will not activate.
- Returning the monster to play cannot be chained to. The effect will resolve and the monster will return to play during your 2nd Standby Phase even if "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" is no longer on the field or is flipped face-down (even as a chain to the activation of his effect).
- If your 2nd Standby Phase is skipped by the effect of a card like "Solomon's Lawbook", then the removed monster will never return to play.
- You can activate "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord's" effect even if your Battle Phase is going to be skipped because of a card effect like "Soul Exchange".
- If you declared an attack then you cannot activate "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord's" effect this turn, even if your only attack was negated.
- If you have both "Destiny Hero - Doom Lord" and "Berserk Gorilla" face-up on the field you can still activate "Doom Lord's" effect. "Berserk Gorilla" will not be able to attack that turn.
- If all 5 of your opponent's Monster Card Zones are full when the removed monster would return to play, it is destroyed.
