Forum:Karakuri vs Evil Hero Dark Gaia

Greetings! If its okay, I'll have multiple questions asked in this post.

First is the contradicting effects of Evil Hero Dark Gaia and most of the Karakuri monsters. You see, EHDG's effect activates when he declares an attack; he changes all defense-positioned monsters to attack position. But what would happen if he attacks a Karakuri monster (assuming the Karakuri is in attack position), whose effect is to change into defense position when selected as an attack target?

Second is a technique used by one of our friends in a local tournament. He had no cards in his hand, had no monsters on his side of the field, and only a set Reckless Greed in his spell and trap zone. When his oponnent declared an attack, he repsonded with Reckless Greed. Upon the resolution of the effect, he drew 2 cards (Battle Fader and a normal spell card) and then activated Battle Fader's effect, which ended the battle phase. We told him it couldn't have been possible, since Fader's effect activates only when his oponnent declares an attack (like the timing of Reckless Greed), but he wouldn't listen. Was he right or wrong?

Third is just an inquiry with Dimension Wall. Is the dimension wall's mechanism of returning damage much like Magic Cylinder? Or do I need to have at least a monster when my opponent declares an attack to activate Dimension Wall?Dark.armed1330 (talk • contribs) 15:04, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
