Some cards and effects restrict During the [[Battle Step]], the [[turn player]] can [[declare]] an attack by targeting either an opponent's monster or the monsters opponent themself. If a [[replay]] occurs, the turn player can select an attack target again (even if it is the same choice), potentially allowing for effects that activate upon a monster being targeted for an attack to activate again, such as that of "[[Marshmallon GlassesVengeful Shinobi]]"), mandate that monsters battle . Some card effects can restrict a player's choice of attack target (such as that of "[[All-Out AttacksMarshmallon Glasses]]"), or conduct [[battle]] without with a monster being declared without selecting it as an attack target (such as that of "[[Confusion ChaffDreamsprite]]").<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=D&last=E |title=<nowiki>Individual Card Rulings [D-E</nowiki>&#93; |publisher=UDE |at=Dreamsprite |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090218205242/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=D&last=E |archivedate=18 February 2009 |accessdate=30 January 2016 |quote=If you control "Dreamsprite", "The Legendary Fisherman", and "Umi" is on the field, "Dreamsprite"’s effect can still change an attack target to "The Legendary Fisherman" because he is not being targeted with an attack, but is being targeted with a monster effect.}}</ref> There are also card effects that allow a player's opponent to choose their attack targets for them, such as that of "[[Patrician of Darkness]]".
