OCG Rulings

• The monster effect of "Digvorzhak, King of Heavy Industry" is an Ignition Effect.

• It does not target. (The cards to destroy are chosen when applying the resolution of "if any monsters were sent to the Graveyard by this effect, destroy cards your opponent controls, up to the number of monsters sent".)

• Detaching an Xyz Material is a cost to activate this effect.

• The application of "send the top 3 cards of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard" and the application of "if any monsters were sent to the Graveyard by this effect, destroy cards your opponent controls, up to the number of monsters sent" are not treated as being done at the same time.

• The monster effect of "Digvorzhak, King of Heavy Industry" can be activated even if there are no cards on the opponent's field.

• When the opponent has less than 3 cards in their Deck, the effect of "Digvorzhak, King of Heavy Industry" cannot be activated. Also, if at the time of the resolution of the effect of "Digvorzhak, King of Heavy Industry" the opponent has less than 3 cards in their Deck, the remaining cards are sent to the Graveyard, and if there are Monster Cards among them, the destruction effect is applied.

• If 3 monsters are sent from the opponent's Deck to the Graveyard with the effect of "Digvorzhak, King of Heavy Industry", the amount of cards to destroy on the opponent's side of the field is 1 to 3. Therefore, if the opponent only has 2 cards, 1 or 2 cards can be destroyed. Also, you cannot choose to destroy "no cards" with the effect of "Digvorzhak, King of Heavy Industry".
