Explained
When a card or effect is activated that would destroy a card on the field, Tribute this card to negate the activation and destroy it. In the End Phase, if that effect was used this turn, Special Summon it from the GY.
As protection against destruction effects, since it comes back at the end of the turn.
- Using it against removal that doesn't destroy, like banishing or returning to the hand.
