Card Rulings

  • If the activation of this effect is negated (by Light and Darkness Dragon), this effect will activate again until it resolves (even if it resolves without effect due to Skill Drain).

  • The Continuous Effect applies while this card is face-up on the field.

  • Asura Priest may attack directly if it has not already attacked a monster this turn.

  • Asura Priest can’t attack a monster if it has already attacked directly this turn.

  • These attacks don’t have to be all in a row. You can attack monsters with Asura Priest, then attack with another monster, and Asura Priest can still attack again as long as it attacks a monster it has not attacked yet. If the opponent controls Spirit Reaper you can’t continually attack it.

  • Asura Priest does not have to attack all your opponent’s monsters.

  • While Gravekeeper’s Servant / Toll is active, you pay each time Asura Priest attacks.

  • If “Asura Priest” attacks a monster and your opponent activates “Magic Cylinder” to negate the attack, “Asura Priest” can attack that same monster again.

  • Your opponent’s Patrician of Darkness can re-direct all of your “Asura Priest” attacks to their “Spirit Reaper”.

  • When Asura Priest attacks your opponent’s only monster, if the monster is removed from the field in the battle step, a replay occurs. Since Asura Priest never battled with a monster it can attack directly.
