Rulings
- Asura Priest may attack directly if it has not already attacked a monster this turn.
- Asura Priest cannot attack a monster if it has already attacked directly this turn. For example, the opponent activates Call of the Haunted or Scapegoat after Asura Priest has completed a direct attack.
- Asura Priest may attack each monster only once. If the opponent controls Spirit Reaper you cannot continually attack it.
- When cards like Gravekeeper’s Servant or Toll are applying on the field, you must pay each time Asura Priest attacks.
- Asura Priest attacks each monster one a time. Resolve the battle with one monster before declaring an attack on another monster.
- Asura Priest does not have to attack all monsters on your opponent’s side of the field. If you opponent controls 3 monsters, you may choose to attack only 2 of them.
- When Asura Priest attacks and destroys Giant Rat or Masked Dragon, you may then attack the monster Special Summoned by the effect of those monsters.
- After Asura Priest has attacked monsters, other monsters you control may still attack directly.
- Asura Priest can attack each monster once during the same Battle Phase. These attacks do not have to be all in a row. For example, you can attack monsters with Asura Priest, then attack with another monster, and Asura Priest can still attack again as long as it attacks a monster it has not attacked yet.
- Q: "Asura Priest’s" card text reads: ‘You cannot attack your opponent's LP directly if you attack a monster first.’ Does this mean none of your other monsters can attack directly or just "Asura Priest"? A: The text only applies to Asura Priest. You could still attack directly with other monsters. 02/03/04
