Forum:Threatening Roar vs. Trap Immunity

Let me confirm this. Threatening Roar affects the opponent and not the monsters, so even if the opponent has Elemental HERO Wildheart or made a monster immune to other S/Ts via Forbidden Lance, they still cannot attack with it. Is this true? --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 08:52, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

They only declared an attack first time, then you activated "Threatening Roar", but afterward, that attack failed to hit you and your opponent would not be able to touch your Life Points (or your monsters if you have them) at all. Ask UltimateKuriboh, he was the one lecturing me about this. --iFredCat 11:02, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

The card text says "Your opponent cannot declare an attack", i.e. this is an effect that targets your opponent (it can be deflected with Mystical Refpanel) and restricts his or her actions, not those of their monsters. So yes, even if you have trap immunity on your monster, you still cannot attack with it, because the effect is denying you from taking a specific action. This also means, as iFredCat mentioned, that if you activate this card once an attack has alreay been declared, that attack will not be stopped, as Threatening Roar does not negate it. After that attack resolves though, the target opponent cannot make any follow-up attacks, even with the same monster.--Eps01 (talk • contribs) 11:16, March 30, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. So even the mighty Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes is stopped short by roaring the opponent into submission. --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 11:26, March 30, 2013 (UTC)
