Effect
Cannot be used as material for an Xyz Summon, except for an Xyz Summon that uses 3 or more monsters as material. If you Normal or Special Summon a "Star Seraph" monster(s) (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, draw 1 card, then you can Special Summon it if it is a "Star Seraph" monster.
"If this card is used as an Xyz Material, it can only be used for an Xyz Summon that requires 3 or more monsters" is not treated as a monster effect.
The monster effect "(1): If you Normal or Special Summon a 'Star Seraph' monster(s): You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, draw 1 card. Then, if the drawn card was a 'Star Seraph' monster, you can Special Summon it" is a Trigger Effect that activates in the hand. (It does not target. It cannot be activated during the Damage Step.)
The process of "Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, draw 1 card" and the process of "if the drawn card was a 'Star Seraph' monster, you can Special Summon it" are not treated as occurring simultaneously.
The process of "Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, draw 1 card" must be performed, but you can choose not to perform the process of "if the drawn card was a 'Star Seraph' monster, you can Special Summon it."
