●Missing the Timing: Because the effect of “Butterfly Dagger – Elma” is an optional “when… you can” Trigger Effect, Butterfly Dagger - Elma being sent to the GY has to be the very last thing that happened in order for you to activate its effect. So if it is destroyed in the middle of a chain, you can't return it to your hand. Example: If the turn player activates Pot of Greed, and the opponent chains Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Butterfly Dagger - Elma during the chain, it can't return to the owner's hand.
●If the monster that Butterfly Dagger - Elma is equipped to is destroyed as a result of battle, or by a card effect like Sakuretsu Armor or Fissure, then Butterfly Dagger - Elma can't return to your hand because it is no longer equipped to a monster. However, if the monster and the Butterfly Dagger - Elma are destroyed simultaneously by a card like Final Destiny, then you can return it to your hand.
●While Imperial Order is active, if Butterfly Dagger - Elma is destroyed and sent to the GY, it can return to your hand.
●When you activate Butterfly Dagger - Elma and your opponent chains Mystical Space Typhoon, it can't return to your hand.
●When Butterfly Dagger - Elma is sent to the GY without being destroyed, such as with Woodland Sprite, it can't return to your hand.
●If Butterfly Dagger - Elma is negated and destroyed by Ryu Senshi or Freed the Matchless General, it can't return to your hand.
●While Morale Boost is active, if you equip Butterfly Dagger - Elma to Gearfried the Iron Knight, 1) Increase your Life Points for Morale Boost, 2) destroy Butterfly Dagger - Elma with Gearfried the Iron Knight's effect, 3) inflict damage for Morale Boost when Butterfly Dagger - Elma is sent to the GY, 4) the owner of Butterfly Dagger - Elma can return it to his/her hand.
●If Butterfly Dagger - Elma is destroyed during the Damage Step, such as by the effect of Cliff the Trap Remover, you can't activate the effect that returns Butterfly Dagger - Elma to the hand.
