Rulings
- The first sentence of this card’s text means that after you complete an attack with Tyrant Dragon, if there is still a monster on the opponent’s side of the field, Tyrant Dragon can immediately attack again. You cannot attack with another monster in between, and then attack a second time with Tyrant Dragon. If there are no monsters on your opponent’s side of the field after Tyrant Dragon’s first attack, Tyrant Dragon does not gain a second attack.
- Tyrant Dragon cannot attack more than twice, even if there is another monster remaining on your opponent’s side of the field after the second attack.
- Tyrant Dragon’s first attack does not have to be the first attack of the Battle Phase. You may attack with another monster, then with Tyrant Dragon, then again with Tyrant Dragon -- if the opponent still controls a monster.
- The opponent may activate Trap Cards that target Tyrant Dragon, but their effects will be negated and the cards destroyed.
- When you Summon Tyrant Dragon, the opponent can activate Torrential Tribute or Bottomless Trap Hole and destroy Tyrant Dragon because neither of these Trap Cards target. (However, Trap Hole does target and its effect will disappear if activated.)
- When you attack with Tyrant Dragon the opponent can activate Mirror Force and all your Attack Position monsters, including Tyrant Dragon, will be destroyed. This is because Mirror Force does not target.
