<p>Your opponent wouldn't get the monster.</p>

<p>Here is the chain of events: I activate <a href="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/The_Shallow_Grave" rel="noreferrer">The Shallow Grave</a> to special summon a needle worm from my graveyard (and my opponent chooses their monster), and then my opponent uses <a href="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/D.D._Crow" rel="noreferrer">D.D. Crow</a> to remove the needle worm from play. </p>

<p>Does my opponent still get the monster he has chosen to special summon?</p>

# Question about The Shallow Grave (Spell Card)

(Asked by: username_0 on 2010-10-21)

Here is the chain of events: I activate [The Shallow Grave](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/The_Shallow_Grave) to special summon a needle worm from my graveyard (and my opponent chooses their monster), and then my opponent uses [D.D. Crow](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/D.D._Crow) to remove the needle worm from play.

Does my opponent still get the monster he has chosen to special summon?
