Forum:Double tool vs red nova/krebons/etc.

Can a monster that has the ability to negate attacks such as Red Nova Dragon, Shooting Star Dragon, Krebons, etc. negate an attack from a monster equipped with Double Tool C&D? Those monsters have effects that activate on the field during the battle phase so I'm not sure if Double Tool negates the effects or not. Does the Double Tool effect negating effect negate the effect once the attack is declared or would negating the attack count as if the attack wasn't declared, so that Double Tool doesn't negate the attack target's effect? --Anonymous Duelist with an obsession for playing by the rules.75.118.60.254 (talk) 22:02, February 16, 2011 (UTC)
