Forum:Scrap-Iron Scarecrow vs. Mystic Swordsman Ruling Query

If I attack my opponent's face-down monster with My "Mystic Swordsman LV4", does Mystic Swordsman's effect still activate. The reason I am unsure it due both cards stating that their effects take place when an attack is declared, and there seems to be a timing issue. Logically (for me anyway) I think that Mystic Swordsman's effect should go through because cards like Scrap-Iron Scarecrow are stopping an attack, but.... Jon Kovacs 14:03, June 11, 2010 (UTC)
