Snake whistle?

Question

if i have a face down reptile monster and a snake whistle, then it was destroyed by battle, will snake whistle's effect activate or not

Answer 1

Yes, it will activate since no matter if its face down or face up the monster that you just got destroyed is a reptile monster

Answer 2

Yes it does because Snake Whistle doesn't specify that the destroyed monster has to be face-up.

Eg: Your opponent has a face up 'Cyber Dragon' and attacks your face down 'Venom Cobra' then you activate 'Snake Whistle' to special summon 'Venom Snake' from your deck.

Answer 3

h**l Yeah it will
