If Elemental HERO Cross Porter is sent to the GY as a cost, does it miss timing?!
Cross Porter is sent to the GY as a cost for a card like Dark Grepher or Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin.
Yes. Cross Porter is an optional "when" effect, so if it is sent as a cost it misses timing and does not activate.
Can Aqua Dolphin discard a Dark World monster as cost to trigger its effect?!
Aqua Dolphin is activated and a Dark World monster is discarded as the cost.
No. Dark World monsters only trigger when discarded by a card effect, not by cost.
