Curse of Anubis?

[skey23]

I've been reading other posts about things with this card and one thing has been said that confuses me. I would like to get this cleared up in my mind.

Player A has 2 two effect monsters in face up attack position.
Player B has 1 face down defense position monster and one set 'Curse of Anubis' from a previous turn.
Player A declares an attack.
Player B activates 'Curse of Anubis'.

What happens?

I know both of Player A's monsters will be switched to defense, and their defense reduced to 0.
But what happens to the face down monster? Does it get flipped up?
What happens to the initial attack? Does it stop at the point where the monster is changed to defense position?

It has been stated in other posts that a 'replay' would occur. How can this be possible when the number of monsters on Player B's side of the field did not change?

I don't have the 5.0 rulebook in front of me at this time, so I can't quote the 'latest and greatest' text on what causes a replay, but as far as I know, the attacking monster changing battle position was not a valid reason for a replay to occur.

Thanks.

For the record, im not in either side, I don't agree that Aqua Chorus can't be activated during the Damage Step nor do I agree that it can =P, this just to keep in perspective that im not taking or defending sides =).

Also Slither, Limiter Removal and Mirror Wall do specifically modify the attack. They "double" and "half" the attack of the monsters. That's specifically telling you what you're modifying the monsters with. Either 1/2 or by 2. It still is specifically telling you how much you're modifying the monster by.

Ok Tk, but if you do believe that, then you would have to agree that changing a value to a specific number specifically modify attack. Just like Cybernetic Magician.

But Cybernetic Magician isn't a Spell Speed 2 effect. It's an Ignition Effect. Spell Speed 1. A little different in this case since Micro Ray is a Spell Speed 2.

I don't claim to know all the little details. I probably never will, but I do know what you're getting at.

 

[slither]

No, no, not speaking of spell speeds, just functionality.

Isn't "specifically modifies ATK/DEF" just extraneous speech, like "specifically designate a target"?

<shrugs> Could be and I'm not really going to think about it in deep thought. If "specifically modifies ATK/DEF" just means any modification to the attack or defense of a monster with a definite amount or fixed varible amount to be set at. Then I'm not going to argue with it because I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case after I've read Micro Ray.

:huh_jedi:

Oh well.
