• use Spell / Trap Cards which don’t target (ex: Bottomless Trap Hole, Smashing Ground); ●target your other monsters with monster effects (ex: Caius the Shadow Monarch); ●target your face-down Defense Position monsters with Spell / Trap Cards & Effects; ●attack your face-down Defense Position monsters.
