What happens if you declare an attack then your opponent activates Mirror Force than you activate Book of Moon to Set your attacking monster in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Anovia
If your opponent attacks, you can activate Book of Moonto flip the attacking monster face-down and cancel the attack. However, if you chain the activation of Book of Moon with Dark Mirror Force (assuming your opponent has a face-down Defense Position monster WHEN he/she attacks), the attacking monster will not be affected by Dark Mirror Force as a chain always resolves BACKWARDS. Therefore, Book of Moonwould be Chain Link 1 and Dark Mirror Force would be Chain Link 2. When resolving, the effect of Dark Mirror Forceactivates first, removing your opponent's Defense Position monsters (this does not include the attacking monster as it must be face-up and in Attack Position to have attacked in the first place) from play. Then the effect of Book of Moon resolves, flipping the attacking monster face-down. Note that you could not even activate Dark Mirror Force unless your opponent has a Defense Position monster to begin with.
Assuming the same scenario, if you decide to activate Dark Mirror Force FIRST, then Book of Moon (targeting the attacking monster), then Dark Mirror Force would become Chain Link 1 and Book of Moon would become Chain Link 2. Again, the chain would resolve backwards, starting with the effect of Book of Moon. Your opponent's attacking monster is flipped face-down first. Then the effect of Dark Mirror Force resolves, Removing from Play all of your opponent's Defense Position monsters, including the original attacking monster (as it is now in Defense Position).

∙ 11y agoMirror Force was correctly activated in response to an attack declaration, it doesn't actually matter if the attacking monster gets switched to defense mode, removed from the field, etc, Mirror Force will still resolve.
However since it only destroys monsters in attack positon, the above attacker will be safe. That might mean Mirror Force ends up destroying nothing. Meanwhile, your opponent's Mirror Force can still destroy all your other monsters if they are in ATK mode.

What if you have a Dragon type monster card in attack position and your opponent activates a Dragon Capture Jar putting your card in face-up defence position plus disables it from attacking?
A monster can't declare an attack while it is in defence position - unless it specifically says it can (Total Defence Shogun, etc). So your Dragon-type monsters will be unable to attack.If one of your dragons declares an attack, and Dragon Capture Jar is flipped in response, then your Dragon will switch to defence mode and that particular battle step will end without proceeding to the Damage Step.
Does damage calculation mean you lose life points for example does the owner of Spirit Reaper lose points when an opponent's monster attacks it in defense position?
Answer: The "damage calculation is calculated normally" text in Spirit Reaper(SR) means if your SR is attacked while it's on attack position then you will lose LP for that battle but SR won't be destroyed and sent to the graveyard as a result of battle because of it's card effect.Answer!"Damage calculation" is the damage a player receives either due to a monster attacking or by a card effect. Damage calculation is done during the Damage Step of the Battle Phase. If a card's effect reads something like, When this Defense Position card is attacked and the ATK of the attacking monster is lower than the DEF of this card, after Damage Calculation destroy the attacking monster., then that means after damage is inflicted upon a player the rest of its effect activates destroying the attacking monster. More examples-Reflect Bounder: When card is face-up Attack Position and is attacked by a monster on your opponent's side of the field, before damage calculation is resolved in the Damage Step, this card inflicts damage to your opponent's Life Points equal to the ATK of the attacking monster.This means before damage would be inflicted upon either player by the attack during the Damage Step, the monster's effect activates inflicting damage. Then damage is calculated.The Hunter With 7 Weapons: When this card is Normal Summoned, declare 1 Type of monster. When battling that Type of monster, increase the ATK of this card by 1000 points during Damage Calculation. What this translates into is that during the Damage Step, simple increase this card's attack by 1000.
Can card effects affect Star Eater between its Synchro Summon in Main Phase 1 and its attack in the Battle Phase in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Yes. Celestial Dragon simply prevents things from being used in response to the special summon, ie, you could not use Torrential Tribute in response. But once this 'window of response' closes, then effects can be activated once again. The turn player cannot leave the Main Phase unless the opponent agrees to it. That means that if he places Celestial Dragon down on the field and immediately declares an attack with it, the turn has to go back to the main phase if the opponent says he had something he wanted to activate. It can sometimes be tricky for a judge, in cases where players don't declare their intention to change phase, and then a situation arises where one player has declared or revealed something, giving his opponent knowledge of the action, and then the opponent makes the turn go back because he now suddenly wants to activate something based on that 'future' knowledge. But in this case it's easier to handle. That means that the opponent can technically start as many chains as he wishes, in between Celestial Dragon's summon and response window, and the time when it would be able to declare an attack.
Can your opponent activate 'Threatening Roar' once you say you are tributing to summon 'Jinzo'?
No, he does not have Priority for an activation - nor is there any need to 'declare' the summon as such. Imagine Player A begins his main phase. He has Priority for a summon, so tributes a monster and places Jinzo on the field. The summon is not yet successful, but the only things that can be used here are summon-negating cards. Assuming no one negates the summon, Jinzo is summoned successfully. The Turn Player still has Priority for an Ignition Effect or a quick effect, or he can just pass Priority to the opponent. Under normal circumstances, this is now the first chance the opponent would get to use his Threatening Roar. But Jinzo's effect will prevent it. So in short, if the turn player is in a position to initiate a summon, and decides to do so, it is mostly uninterruptable until after the summon is successful, so in this case, by the time the opponent knows you want to summon Jinzo, it is too late to activate a trap like Threatening Roar.
Do you have to declare war before attacking?
Yes! You do have to decla war before attacking or else there is no war and the opponent wouldnt know about it. If the opponent doesn't know about it there really is no war and nobody wins.

How do you kill a planeswalker?
Due to rules updates, this answer has been modified. If a spell or ability would deal damage to a player, the controller of that spell or ability may, during resolution, redirect all of the damage to a planeswalkers the opponent controls. If a creature attacks, the attacking player must declare, for each attacking creature, if that creature is attacking the defending player or a planeswalkers that player controls. They may still be blocked as normal. The previous answer mentioned playing your own planeswalker with the same sub-name to "counteract" the opponent's planeswalker. This rule no longer exists and each player may have a planeswalker with the same sub-name under their control.

Can I activate Skill Drain after I've declared my attack with Beast King Barbaros to increase his attack if the opponent chooses not to activate any cards in responce to my attack in Yu-gi-oh?
Yes. When you declare the attack, you, as the turn player, gets first chance to respond to it. Your opponent can respond too, either in chain to your card, or starting a new chain himself if you don't. After this chain resolves though, or both players confirm they don't want to respond, a new chain can still be started, the turn does not immediately proceed to the Damage Step. This chain is not 'in response' to the attack, the timing for that was passed when both players said they did not want to respond. You could activate Skill Drain here, and while the opponent can still chain cards to it, it is not the response window for the attack declaration, cards like Sakuretsu Armor cannot be activated now.

In magic the gathering when you play the card vanquish does the attacking creature still receive combat damage?
No. The combat phase goes - declare attackers, declare blockers, deal damage, then cleanup, with a place to cast spells or activate effects in between each step.You use Vanquish after blockers have been declared. Because the blocker is no longer on the Battlefield, it does not deal damage in the damage dealing step. However since the attacker is still counted as being 'blocked', then unless it has Trample, it deals no damage either.
Does 'Swords of Revealing Light' stop 'Horus the Black Flame Dragon' from attacking?
It will stop Lv4 from attacking, and if allowed to resolve to the field, it will stop Lv8 attacking too (Lv8 could have negated it when it was first activated, but if he chose not to, then he can no longer do anything to it). Lv6 is unaffected by spell cards though, so may still declare attacks.
