Edisonformat.com (Historical, Pre-UTW Rulings)

The following rules apply to all Spirit Monsters:

  • Spirit is not a monster Type; you cannot declare “Spirit” for the effect of “DNA Surgery”.

  • Spirit Monsters are still Effect Monsters.

  • A Spirit Monster must be face-up on the field during the End Phase for it to return to the owner’s hand. If it was destroyed or removed from play, it will not return to the owner’s hand.

  • A Spirit Monster will return to the owner’s hand during the End Phase, even if the opponent played it from their hand (through the effect of “Exchange”.)
