Talk:Purgatory Knights Leader, Demios Sword Dragon/Tips/@comment-5777478-20150214021417

I sent a question to Bushiroad and the replyed.

Q)  Can I (partially) use Demios' effect if Demios is already standing?  Can I destroy another of my Purgatory knight monster during my turn with his effect, if he's already at the stand position? A) Yes, in this sense its not that its that your using partially the effect but, that you are resolving as much of the effect as possible.

This works with cards like Purgatory Knights, Evil Glaive Dragon. If the opponent plays a counter to destroy evil Glaive, you can use Demios' effect to destroy Evil Glaive and get his draw effect even if Demios is already standing. You still have to watch out for the 1 counter rulling, so play wise.
