While "Thunder King Rai-Oh" is on the field, you can still remove from play cards from your deck and you can still add cards to your hand which have been removed from play, so you can still activate "Gold Sarcophagus"/"Different Dimension Capsule"/etc, and afterwards the card will be added to your hand.: Can you activate "Gold Sarcophagus" when "Thunder King Rai-Oh" is on the field?
