Explained
When Normal or Special Summoned, add a "Branded" Spell/Trap from your Deck. From the GY, if your face-up Fusion Monster is destroyed by battle or leaves because of your opponent's effect, Special Summon it and negate an opponent's Effect Monster for the turn. One effect per turn.
In Branded decks as a Normal Summon that searches a Branded card.
- Targeting a monster that's already negated with the GY effect.
How it works
You can only use 1 “Aluber” effect per turn:
- When Normal or Special Summoned: Add 1 “Branded” Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand.
- From the GY: If a face-up Fusion Monster you control is destroyed by battle, or leaves the field because of an opponent’s card effect, while this card is in your GY: target 1 Effect Monster your opponent controls; Special Summon this card, and if you do, negate the target’s effects until the end of the turn.
Rulings in plain English
GY effect: Aluber must already be in the GY when the Fusion leaves. Can’t target an already-negated monster. Summoning and negating are simultaneous. Usable in the Damage Step.
