Effect
Cannot be Normal Summoned, unless you control a "Ghostrick" monster. Once per turn: You can change this card to face-down Defense Position. If this card is flipped face-up: During the End Phase of this turn, change as many face-up monsters on the field as possible to face-down Defense Position, then you can Special Summon 1 "Ghostrick" monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position, whose Level is less than or equal to the number of monsters flipped face-down by this effect.
You can only Normal Summon "Ghostrick Doll" in face-up Attack Position if you control a face-up "Ghostrick" monster.
The monster effect "①: You can activate this effect during your Main Phase; change this card to face-down Defense Position (you can only use this effect once per turn)" is an Ignition Effect. (This effect does not target.)
The monster effect "(2): If this card is flipped face-up, activate this effect. During the End Phase of this turn, change all face-up monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position. Then, you can Special Summon 1 "Ghostrick" monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position, with a Level less than or equal to the number of monsters changed to face-down Defense Position by this effect" is a Trigger Effect that must be activated when "Ghostrick Doll" itself is flipped face-up. (It does not target. It also activates during the Damage Step.)
No Chain Link is created when the process of "During the End Phase of this turn, change all face-up monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position. Then, you can Special Summon 1 "Ghostrick" monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position, with a Level less than or equal to the number of monsters changed to face-down Defense Position by this effect" is applied.
The process of "change all face-up monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position" and the process of "you can Special Summon 1 "Ghostrick" monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position, with a Level less than or equal to the number of monsters changed to face-down Defense Position by this effect," which occur during the End Phase of that turn, are not treated as happening simultaneously.
The process of "change all face-up monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position" that occurs during the End Phase of that turn must be performed, but you can choose not to perform the process of "you can Special Summon 1 "Ghostrick" monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position, with a Level less than or equal to the number of monsters changed to face-down Defense Position by this effect."
