Forum:Tributing a face down monster......

.....just when i think i have this game completly figured out >_>...   Okay.. To my understanding "face down monsters do not have attributes." And you have to first flip the card face up before you activate type, attribute, or level specific spells/traps. But it turns out thats somewhat not true??.. For example, take the card "icarus attack" you have to tribute a winged beast monster to active it.. Now the rulings say this card can be used to tribute a face down winged beast... Now im confused, how tf is this possible when facedown cards have no attributes. And what about monsters where you have to tribute a specific type. Is this possible if the monster is faced down?? How am i supposed to know when i can and when i cant. Please explain this to me. X1991omega (talk • contribs) 06:56, December 12, 2017 (UTC)
