Explained

What it does

With "Umi" or a card that mentions "Dark Time Wizard" on the field, Special Summon it from your hand when your opponent attacks or activates a monster effect on the field. When Special Summoned, destroy 1 opponent's monster; it returns to your hand in the End Phase.

Play it when

In Umi and Dark Time Wizard decks as a hand trap that removes a monster.

Common mistakes
  • Expecting it to stay on the field. It returns to the hand in the End Phase even if the destroy fails.

How it works

  • From the hand: If your opponent activates a monster effect on the field, or when their monster declares an attack, and “Umi” or a card that mentions “Dark Time Wizard” (except “Fisherman of Legend”) is on the field: Special Summon this card. Not in the Damage Step.
  • When Special Summoned: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy it. During this turn’s End Phase, return this card from the field to the hand.

Each effect is once per turn.

Rulings in plain English

“Mentions Dark Time Wizard”: The card’s text has to name “Dark Time Wizard” as a card name.

Return to hand: Applies as long as the effect wasn’t negated, even if the destroy didn’t happen. No chain. If this card is no longer face-up in the Monster Zone, it doesn’t apply.

Damage Step: The destroy effect can be activated then.

Dark Time Wizard, Umi.
