Forum:Effect Damage with Equip Cards

Greetings,

I have two cards in my deck that involve taking damage equal to a monster's ATK, Memory of an Adversary and Blast Sphere. More than once, I have used the effects of these cards against an opponent's monster with an equip card.

Does this mean the effect causes damage equal to the base ATK of the monster, or does the damage increase because of the Equip Card effects?

Also, as a side question with Memory of an Adversary, if I use it against a monster that cannot be special summoned, does this mean the card is simply banished, or does the Special Summon happen anyway? Or is it simply an invalid target for the card? Zorpheus (talk • contribs) 05:42, September 24, 2013 (UTC)
