What happens if a Trap Monster is temporarily banished?✓
A Trap Monster is removed by Dimensionhole or Interdimensional Matter Transporter.
It returns as a Trap Card and is destroyed immediately by game mechanic. While it is removed, its Monster Zone is unusable, but its Spell/Trap Zone can be used.
If I banish Absolute Zero with Interdimensional Matter Transporter and my opponent chains Starlight Road, does Stardust Summon and does Absolute Zero return?!
Absolute Zero is banished by IMT and Starlight Road is chained.
Stardust will not be Summoned because Road cannot negate IMT in a way that destroys a card. Absolute Zero will return at the End Phase; if the banished monster is moved elsewhere, it will not return.
