Explained
Special Summon it from your hand by banishing 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your GY. Once per turn, either banish a monster on the field (it can't attack that turn), or attack again after destroying a monster by battle.
In LIGHT and DARK decks as a powerful summon from the hand.
- Using the banish after it has attacked.
How it works
Summoning: Can’t be Normal Summoned or Set. Special Summon it from your hand by banishing 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your GY.
Once per turn, choose one:
- Target 1 monster on the field and banish it. This card can’t attack this turn.
- If this attacking card destroys an opponent’s monster by battle, it can make a second attack in a row.
Rulings in plain English
Banish option: Can’t be used if it already attacked; once activated it can’t attack (unless negated). Usable even in Main Phase 2.
Second attack: At the end of the Damage Step; not if both were destroyed, if it left, or if it already attacked more than once.
Summon: Not an effect, no chain. Once properly summoned, it can be revived by other cards.
