Rulings

(C) This card cannot be Special Summoned. (1) This card returns to its owner's hand during the End Phase of the turn it is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up. (2) This card can attack all monsters your opponent controls once each. This monster cannot attack directly if it has already attacked a monster.

  • The (C) Condition is not an effect, it cannot be negated.
  • The (1) Trigger Effect is mandatory, it activates & resolves on the field.
  • If the activation of this effect is negated (by Light and Darkness Dragon), this effect will activate again until it resolves (even if it resolves without effect due to Skill Drain).
  • The (2) Continuous Effect applies while this card is face-up on the field.
  • 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.
  • These attacks do not have to be all in a row. 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. If the opponent controls Spirit Reaper you cannot continually attack it.
  • Asura Priest does not have to attack all your opponent’s monsters.
  • While Gravekeeper’s Servant / Toll is active, you pay each time Asura Priest attacks.
  • If "Asura Priest" attacks a monster and your opponent activates "Magic Cylinder" to negate the attack, "Asura Priest" can attack that same monster again.
  • Your opponent's Patrician of Darkness can re-direct all of your "Asura Priest" attacks to their "Spirit Reaper".
  • When Asura Priest attacks your opponent’s only monster, if the monster is removed from the field in the battle step, a replay occurs. Since Asura Priest never battled with a monster it can attack directly.
