Can kurivolt summon itself from your deck?

Kurivolt has to be on the field for it's effect to activate. Quite a few cards do not say that the card has to be on the field for its effect, but it is obviously implied (or else cards a lot of cards would be SO broken and everyone would play jinzo ;D). Most cards go into depth about the description so you know the limitations of that cards effect (must be face up, once per turn while this card is face up on the field, etc). Also, cards that special summon themselves usually have "you can special summon THIS CARD", not special summon, for instance, a kurivolt. So simply, you must have kurivolt on the field for you to be ably to detach for another material.

Well yes and no, it depends if you are talking about literally playing itself, then no :3

Useless information, don't expect anything to become of this answer, but whatever :P

So if you picked up a couple packs or a box of Order of Chaos, most likely you threw this card aside to see if you got an Inzektor Hornet.

That being said, I think this card could work well in a Piper Chaos deck, or at least in the side deck.

Kurivolt

Light, Lv. 1, ATK 300/DEF 200

Thunder/Effect

"During your Main Phase: You can target 1 face-up Xyz Monster that has Xyz Material; detach 1 Xyz Material from it, and Special Summon 1 "Kurivolt" from your Deck. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster."

Actually, now that I think about it, this might actually work as a side card in any deck. Why? The effect can be activated multiple times per turn.

But back to my original point. It fuels piper chaos, and does significant damage to decks that are heavy on Xyz summons.

Say your opponent has a Utopia or a Zenmaines, or two, or 3...

Summon Kurivolt. Use its effect, detatch 1 Xyz material, special summon another Kurivolt from the deck. Detatch another xyz material from your opponents monster. Special summon another kurivolt and remove another xyz material. Then if there are any more Xyz material left on the field...remove them. And then Xyz for a Rank 1 Xyz monster (there's like 2 with decent effects)

Why it works in Piper Chaos:

First and most importantly: It's Level 1.

-It's a target for Piper's draw effect, and it's a target for Kinka-Byo if it's in the grave. (Note, you can special summon it with Kinka-Byo, and then use its effect and summon a second Kurivolt, say, if the third is in your hand. Then you have Kinka + 2 Kurivolt = Rank 1 Xyz monster.)

Second: It's Attribute is Light

-It can fuel Chaos Sorcerer or Black Luster Soldier.

It can't be used as a Synchro Material, but frankly, it doesn't need to be.

You need one on the field to be able to summon one from your deck. This is because the effect ONLY works while it is on the field.

No, it doesnt work that way. You MUST have another Kurivolt in play to be able to use the effect.
