(Yu-Gi-Oh!) Drill Warrior effect mechanics?

I was reading Drill Warrior's effect a few minutes ago, and I noticed that when he Special Summons himself, the effect to add a monster card to your hand is mandatory. Also, the Wikia says that the effect to Special Summon himself and add a Monster Card to your hand are both part of the same effect. Does that mean that if there are no Monster Cards in my Graveyard to add to my hand, Drill Warrior cannot Special Summon himself back from RFG?

Card lore:

"Drill Synchron" + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters.

Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can halve this card's ATK (permanently). If you do, it can attack your opponent directly this turn. Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can discard 1 card and remove this card from play. During your next Standby Phase, Special Summon this card, if removed by this effect. Then, add 1 Monster Card from your Graveyard to your hand.

Relevant ruling:

Adding 1 monster in the Graveyard to your hand is part of the Trigger Effect that Special Summons “Drill Warrior” during your Standby Phase.

    I'm not positive on it's ruling but I'd think that if you have no monsters to return to your hand, then that effect cannot be used, because it happens after the special summon, but you'd still get your Drill Warrior

    it sounds like if you don't summon him you don't get the card but if you don't have the card then you just summon him. book of life is 2 effects, i think so is drill's summoning
