Detailed Ruling's FAQ:
Q1. What If I use Magical Goodbye as a [Counter] during the call?
A1. The card will not return to hand as at this point the monster have not been placed onto the area yet.
Q2. Can I call an Armorknight Succubus when I do not have an Armorknight in the drop zone before I pay the cost even though I will have 1 after paying the gauge?
A2. No, as at the point of step 4 you do not have any Armorknight in the drop zone and the call requirement cannot be fulfilled.
