How it works

Dogmatika Punishment is a Normal Trap. Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; send 1 monster with equal or higher ATK from your Extra Deck to the GY, and if you do, destroy the target. Until the end of your next turn after it resolves, you can’t Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck. Only 1 per turn.

Rulings in plain English

Resolution: The target must still be face-up. The send and the destroy happen at the same time.

Lock: Starts after it resolves, so you can activate it even after summoning from the Extra Deck this turn. It applies as long as the card wasn’t negated, even if nothing was sent or destroyed.
