Q&A Rulings
- Q: "Gladiator Beast Equeste" and "Gladiator Beast Domitianus" are face-up in my opponent's Monster Zone. In this situation, what happens if I attack with "Blackwing Full Armor Master", which is unaffected by other cards' effects?
- A: In this scenario, the effect of your opponent's "Gladiator Beast Domitianus" allows them to choose your attack targets. (This effect is applied normally when "Blackwing Full Armor Master" declares an attack.) Firstly, you choose whether or not you will declare an attack with "Blackwing Full Armor Master" during this Battle Phase. (The effect of "Gladiator Beast Domitianus" does not force you to declare an attack.) When you declare the attack with "Blackwing Full Armor Master", your opponent chooses which monster will be attacked using the effect of "Gladiator Beast Domitianus".[2][3]
