Dimension Gate | Decks and Tips

Activate this card by targeting 1 monster you control; banish that target face-up. When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack: You can send this face-up card on the field to the Graveyard. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon the monster banished by this card's effect.

• Banishing your monster will protect it from getting destroyed, or targeted by your opponent.
• Special summoning monsters will enable certain effects that trigger when monsters are special summoned.
• Special summoning the monster will allow you to summon them in either attack or defense position instead of previous position.

• Your monster can only be special summoned when the card is sent to the graveyard, through its effect activation, or if it's destroyed and sent to the graveyard.
• This card can be cancelled if it's destroyed before banishing your monster. Like if your opponent (or you) chains their Twister to this card's activation.

Monster banished by Dimension Gate can also be special summon using this card, and once destroyed you can special summon it again by Dimension Gate's effect.

Take control of your opponent's monster and remove it from play with dimension gate, giving you permanent control of the monster when it returns to the field.

Use Storm to destroy your opponent's spell/trap along with this card, then special summon your removed from play monster.

This card is a popular choice to add into Lab builder farming decks, as your opponent will not attack you directly with monsters that have 3000 or lower attack when you remove Labyrinth Wall with this card. Allowing you to stall as much as you want.
