Forum:Patrician of Darkness Question

The effect of this monster is a little confusing, it designates the target of the opponent's monster attack, can this card desgnate the target to another monster the opponent controls? It actually doesn't say it has to be a monster on your side the one you designate as target.

I'm kinda new on Yu-Yi-Oh! so I got a couple of questions more... I'd appreciate it if anyone could make them clear to me:

Bottomless Trap Hole: "When your opponent Summons a monster(s) with 1500 or more ATK, destroy and reome from play the monster(s)" Can it destroy Special Summoned, Flip Summoned, Synchro Summoned, etc. monsters too or only Normal Summoned? And it says "Monster(s)" Can it apply to more than one? but then again your opponent would need to summon more than one monster... So confusing...

Des Lacooda: "Once per turn, you can flip this card into face-down Defense Position. When this card is Flip Summoned, draw 1 card." If it is attacked and gets flipped do I dra one card anyway?

Royal Keeper: "Once per turn, you can flip this card into face-down Defense Position. When this card is flipped face-up, it gains 300 ATK and DEF until the end of the turn. (If attacked, this effect resolves after damage calculation.)" I'm pretty sure this one works after they attack me and I flip it but, "after damage calculation"? Does that means if the monster attacking this card has 1800 ATK (This card has 1700 DEF, it is obviously face down in DEF position), the card flips, damage occurs, I'm pwnd lol right? or this effect activates after flipped and I survive and make the 200LP Damage?

Spirit Reaper: "This card cannot be destroyed by battle. Destroy this card when it is targeted by the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster. If this card successfully attacks directly, your opponent randomly discards 1 card." Scenario1: Let's say Penguin Soldier ("FLIP: You can return up to 2 Monster Cards from the field to the owner's hand.") targets it's effect on my Spirit Reaper, does my Spirit Reaper goes to my hand or is it destroyed? Scenario2: An equip card (any nevermind) is targeted to my Spirit Reaper, I activate a counter that negates the effect of a magic card, does my Spirit Reaper gets destroyed anyway becase it was targeted or it survives?

That's all hope you can help me, yeah I got Zombie Madness as my Deck lol Gary Hikari 04:06, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
