Card Rulings¶

Select 1 Blackwing monster in your GY. Take damage equal to the ATK of the selected monster, and add it to your hand.

• “Against the Wind” targets 1 “Blackwing” monster in your GY.

• If you control “Des Wombat,” you can activate “Against the Wind,” but since the damage you take becomes 0, you can’t add a card to your hand.

• If an effect is chained that removes the targeted monster from the GY, you take no damage and don’t add it to your hand.

• The effects of “Against the Wind” to inflict damage and add a card to your hand are considered to be simultaneous, although as a practical matter you take the damage first.

• This means that you can activate effects like “Numinous Healer” without missing the timing.
