How it works

Reasoning is a Normal Spell. Your opponent declares a monster Level from 1 to 12. Excavate cards from the top of your Deck until you excavate a monster that can be Normal Summoned/Set. If its Level matches the declared one, send all excavated cards to the GY. If not, Special Summon that monster and send the rest to the GY.

Rulings in plain English

Timing: The declaration and excavation both happen on resolution. It doesn’t target.

Can’t be Special Summoned? If the excavated monster can’t be Special Summoned, it goes to the GY with the other cards.

Simultaneous: The summon and sending the other cards happen together.

Status: Limited in the TCG.
