I tried to find the rulings on this on the Netrep but I could not find it. It mainly deals with Elemental Hero Captain Gold and Volcanic Rocket.

In the case of Captain Gold, I am allowed to search for a Skyscraper, must it be ONLY the card called Skycraper or does it only have to have Skyscraper in its name (Namely the other card being Skyscraper 2). Same question applies for his self destruct effect (No Skyscraper, No gold)

same question with Volcanic Rocket. Blaze Accelerator only or Tri-Blaze also included.

Thanks in advance

Elemental Hero Captain Gold
Effect Monster (Warrior / LIGHT / 4 Stars / ATK 2100 / DEF 800)

You can discard this card to the Graveyard to add 1 "Skyscraper" from your Deck to your hand. If this card is on the field but "Skyscraper" is not on the field, destroy this card.

Volcanic Rocket
Effect Monster (Pyro / FIRE / 4 Stars / ATK 1900 / DEF 1400)

When this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, you can add 1 "Blaze Accelerator" card from your Deck or your Graveyard to your hand.

If you take a moment to look at the Bolded portions, you'll see Elemental Hero Captain Gold refers to "Skyscraper" while Volcanic Rocket refers to a "Blaze Accelerator" CARD. In the first case, it's referring to "Skyscraper" specifically (as does the 2nd part of the effect). As such that is the only card it can search for and which one must be on the field or else Captain Gold is destroyed.

Now since Volcanic Rocket refers to a "Blaze Accelerator" card, that is the shortened text to refer to any card that includes "Blaze Accelerator" in the name (which currently is just Blaze Accelerator and Tri-Blaze Accelerator). Because of that one word difference, Volcanic Rocket can search for both.

The bolded part means you can search your deck for a card with "Blaze Accelerator" in its name.

It doesn't say "add 1 'Skyscraper' card" so the only card you can search for is "Skyscraper" and not "Skyscraper 2 - Hero City."

Notice the difference?

:edit And d_x beats me to the punch...
