Decompose - You may banish 2 Earth cards and an action card from your graveyard. If you do, this gets +1defense.

Rulings

From the Rosetta + 1st Strike release notes
  • Decompose only resolves if this card resolves as a layer on the stack. If this is added to a chain link as a defending card without resolving, the effect doesn’t resolve and you can’t choose to banish for the decompose effect to gain +1defense.
  • There is no priority between choosing to banish for the decompose effect and this getting +1defense.

Keyword notes

Decompose - – You may banish 2 Earth cards and an action card from your graveyard. If you do, [EFFECT].
  • Decompose is a label keyword.
  • Decompose is an optional effect and the effect itself does not target. When the effect resolves, you may choose the cards in your graveyard to banish. If you choose to resolve the decompose effect, you must be able to banish 2 Earth cards and an action card from your graveyard.
  • To decompose, you need to banish 3 cards in total: two Earth cards, and one action card. The Earth cards may be action cards, and the action card may be an Earth card. Banishing an Earth action card will count towards either one of the two Earth cards being banished or the action card being banished, not both at the same time.
