OCG Rulings[]
- The effect of "Elemental HERO The Shining" which adds cards to your hand targets one to two of your "Elemental HERO" monsters which are banished.[1]
- When resolving the effect of "Elemental HERO The Shining" which adds cards to your hand, if two "Elemental HERO" monsters were targeted and only one of them is still banished - for example, "Burial from a Different Dimension" was Chained and returned to the Graveyard one of the "Elemental HERO" monsters - then the remaining "Elemental HERO" monster is still returned to the hand.[2]
- If "Elemental HERO The Shining" is destroyed while in the Spell & Trap Card Zone - for example, while it is equipped to "Relinquished" - then the effect of "Elemental HERO The Shining" can still return up to two removed from play "Elemental HERO" monsters to your hand.[3]
- The effect of "Elemental HERO The Shining" which adds up to two banished "Elemental HERO" monsters to your hand can also be activated during the Damage Step, if "Elemental HERO The Shining" is destroyed by damage calculation or by a card effect.[4]
- If "Elemental HERO The Shining" is face-down on the field and is destroyed face-down, then you can activate the effect to select up to two banished "Elemental HERO" monsters and add them to your hand.[5]
- If "Shrink" is activated and targets "Elemental HERO The Shining", then the effect of "Elemental HERO The Shining" which increases the ATK of "Elemental HERO The Shining" will be applied after the effect of "Shrink" halves its Original ATK. Thus, its Original ATK of 2600 will be halved to 1300, and then its ATK will increase by 300x the number of your banished "Elemental HERO" monsters.[6]
- The effect of "Garlandolf, King of Destruction" which increases its ATK and the effect which destroys monsters are considered to resolve simultaneously.[7]
- Example: If "Elemental HERO The Shining" is destroyed by the effect of "Garlandolf, King of Destruction", then the effect of "Elemental HERO The Shining" can be activated, without missing the timing.[7]
