Can u still special summon dark armed dragon with 4 dark monsters in ur graveyard?

Question

Pretty much like the card says, "exactly 3 dark". So if one would to have 4 or 5 dark monsters in the graveyard, can u still special summon it?

Answer 1

no. even with the "exactly 3 dark monsters" part, it says "this card cannot be special summoned except." if a monster has that written in the text, you can only summon it from the hand (even if it were summoned correctly.)

raviel has that in its text. so even if you tribute 3 fiends and then raviel goes to the graveyard, you can bring it back. you'll have to add it to your hand and then tribute 3 fiends again

Answer 2

the card says simply "can only be special summon only by having EXACTLY 3 dark monsters in the graveyard"

after it is special summoned, you can have 4..5. or whatever dark monsters in your graveyard. but remember THEY NEED THREE in order to be summoned.

and remember that you can keep removing dark monsters in your graveyard to keep destroying cards, until u have none left in graveyard.

Answer 3

Hmm...I wonder, how would you define the word EXACTLY?

To answer, no DAD requires 3 DARK monsters, no more, no less.

After he is summoned, it doesn't matter how many DARKs are in the grave as he can use them to fuel his effect.

So again the answer is no, it must be EXACTLY 3.

Answer 4

No you can't. It says exactly, no more, no less.
