- Expecting the GY effect on a Special Summon. Only a Normal Summon.
How it works
Status: Limited in the TCG (Sept 21, 2026 list), so you can run 1 copy.
- When Normal Summoned: Send 1 “Zoodiac” card from your Deck to the GY.
- As Xyz Material: An Xyz Monster whose original Type is Beast-Warrior and has this card as material gains: “Once per turn: Detach 1 material; Special Summon 1 ‘Zoodiac Ratpier’ from your hand or Deck.”
Rulings in plain English
Normal Summon effect: A Trigger Effect in the Monster Zone.
Granting the effect: The granting itself isn’t an effect. The Xyz still gains it if Ratpier was attached by another card’s effect.
Granted effect: An Ignition Effect. Detaching a material from the Xyz Monster that gained it is the cost.
