After the Sneek Peak, we finally have the Enligh Lore of "Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer".
This lore confirms what we read in the Spanish and Italian Lore: The TCG is wording different from the OCG.
It is not the first time that happens, and in the End Konami TCG Always correct the stuff according to the OCG, but the problem is that in the Meanwhile you MUST follow the PSCT. So this can create Problems.

Anyway for those that haven't Noticied yet:

[TCG PSCT Problem] Pendulum Sorcerer I4RMNgl

Monster Effect:  If this card is Special Summoned: You can target up to 2 cards you control; destroy them, and if you do, add "Performapal" monsters with different names from your Deck to your hand, except "Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer", equal to the number of monsters destroyed. You can only use this effect of "Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer" once per turn.


While Like the OCG you can still Destroy your Spell/Trap cards, You cannot search any "Performapal" Monster.
Because the PSCT of the TCG Text clearly say you add "Equal to the number of Monsters destroyed".


The Final point of this Error, is that Pendulum Monsters in the Pendulum Zone are treated as Spell Cards.


SO the most of people says that "You check" after the cards are destroyed, so the Pendulum Monsters are in the Extra Deck and you can search.


Other say that you check at the moment of destruction and they are still treated as "Spell", so that you can't search.


NOW You should Still Check since they are Monsters already in the Extra Deck, but since Konami is weird you must wait either Official Confirmation or wait them to announce a Reprint or an Online Errata in the Card Database.


Anyway Well Done again Konami. Your PSCT Sucks as always.

I'm fine with it not being able to search, in fact, I think it's fairer that way. Because being able to destroy your Plushfire and/or Ariadne, to not only get a search, but
then be able to use their effects, is just inherently broken.

It checks after destruction, therefore you should be able to search. This might be a "ask your HJ" situation.

"AND IF YOU DO" 
Is the clause that's important. That phrase alone means it checks after the destruction if the destroyed cards are now treated as monsters. Pendulum monsters are treated as monsters at the very moment of destruction, hence why cards like Solemn and Divine Wrath can affect them while they're in the extra.

I.E: You can use wizard to pop both your scales, and you'll get 2 searches.


Basically Wizard/Sorcerer hasn't changed at all. You just can't pop your regular S/T line-up (like BTH or whatever).
