This card was destroyed because I didn't have the cost even though it had counters on Power of Guardians! Even more, bizarrely it didn't even activate the effect of "Verdant Sanctuary", even though it clearly says destroyed. What is this?
It's easy to pay the cost to keep this card on the field even despite all that, but it sucks that I can't let it get destroyed to search an insect I need for the duel in question (damn those decks not playing ONE single light or dark monster) when I specifically want to search another insect.
Wait. Htf is it not counted as destroyed by card effect? This card’s self destruct is literally a card effect. It’s a card and the reason it’s destroyed is because of its effect.
