Correct! You will draw only for the last Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World That is summoned to the field.

You sure about this sir?

Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World. You discard two with the effect of Graceful Charity. Each copy of Beiige will activate and resolve in seperate Chain Blocks. After each copy of the monster is Special Summoned, both players have a chance to respond to the summoning. I do believe that Card of Safe Return would allow the player to draw for each Special Summoning.

I'm probably wrong. =/

Even though it's a Continuous Spell Card, it has a Triggered Effect. Which means it will ONLY activate when a certain thing happens. On top of that, it contains the word 'can', which makes it an Optional Triggered Effect. So that means that you can only get it's effect when the last thing to occur is the specific thing it's looking for.

So, with "Card of Safe Return", it's looking for a monster(s) to be Special Summoned from the Graveyard to your side of the field, then, you CAN draw 1 card.

But if the monster being Special Summoned from the Graveyard is not the last event to occur, then you cannot use the effect of "Card of Safe Return" because you've missed the timing.


Does that make sense?....lol.

Heart of the Underdog ruling Missing the Timing: Suppose you have 3 copies of "Heart of the Underdog" on the field, and draw a Normal Monster Card during your Draw Phase. All 3 copies of "Heart of the Underdog" immediately activate their effects, and because they activate simultaneously, they form a chain with Chain Links 1, 2, and 3. If you draw a Normal Monster card for Chain Link 3 or Chain Link 2, your copies of "Heart of the Underdog" do not activate again. This is because they are "when... you can" optional Trigger Effects, and you "miss the timing" because you drew the Normal Monster Card during a chain and not as Chain Link 1. However, if you draw a Normal Monster Card for Chain Link 1, all 3 copies of "Heart of the Underdog" will activate their effects again.

I'd just like to make a statement that my previous post was merely from another point of view based off of the Bottomless Trap Hole v.s. Vampire Lord game mechanics.

EDIT: Keep in mind that both monsters aren't being special summoned at the exact same time. They activate and resolve in two completely different Chain Blocks.

With Card of Safe Return when you active Graceful Charity it resolves by dicarding two cards and both of their effects active at the same time so Card of Safe Return thinks thats only 1 monster was sp summoned

Sorry, paul, but that's not correct. "Card of Safe Return" knows there were 2 monsters Special Summoned because they aren't Special Summoned at the same time, but since they are Special Summoned back-to-back, it misses the timing for the 1st one, but doesn't for the 2nd one.

I did think exactly like you in this Tk, in a very similar thread about Dark World's vs BTH, but apparently they create a single chain.

Well when you take a break from judging for a few weeks, you tend to get a little rusty in picking up key words out of the card text. Another thing is reading too quickly and only getting a generalized meaning from running through card text.

The only cards I hate reading to pull exact wording from are those with extremely small font size. I probably should take a magnifying lens to events so I can read small print from cards like Relinquished, Dark Necrofear, Thousand-Eyes Restrict, and Union Monsters. I hate pulling exact wording from small print on cards like them. Just because I have excellant eye sight doesn't mean I have to struggle in reading the card. It wastes too much of my time and 1 or 2 minutes wasted in struggling to read a card means I don't get home 1 or 2 minutes earlier.

the reason you only get to draw 1 card is because the effect of Card of Safe Return is an optional one. as such, it can miss the timing for effects. The two beiges are special summoned on a chain (they are put into a chain after the current chain of Graceful Charity resolves), since a chain is already resolving, and Card of Safe Return is optional, Card of Safe Return does not trigger for each special summoned monster and start a new chain after the current chain resolves. Instead, Card of Safe Return starts a new chain in response to the last special summon to occur assuming the last special summon was the last thing on the chain to resolve (if, for example, the last link on the chain to resolve was an effect that special summoned a monster from your opponent's graveyard, you would miss the timing for Card of Safe Return even though a beige was special summoned during the resolution of chain link 2)

I hope that clears things up.
