I have a few questions about Asura Priest.
1. Can Asura Priest attack some of the opponents monsters (some= more than one but not all)?

i.e. I have asura priest, opponent has 3 monsters one of which has a 1900 atk, the other two 1200 atk. Can I just attack the two 1200 atk monsters and leave the 1900 atk one alone?

2. Do I have to declare I am attacking more than one monster before I attack the first?
3. Do I have to do all attacks by asura priest before I can attack with another monster?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

1.  No, you can attack 1 monster if you chose, or you can attack all eligible monsters on the field, including summoned monsters that trigger a replay.

2.  You must either declare you are attacking monsters, or attacking directly if you have an effect that allows you too.  You can only do one or the other.

3.  Normally a monster with an effect that allows him/her to attack more than once must attack until the effect is resolved before using another monster, meaining, you cant stop the attack of Asura Priest, use another monster, then resume attacking again with Asura.

Also, since this was brought up a couple times at the last Regional, Asura Priest and the like may only attack a particular monster ONCE. You cannot beat on a particular Spirit Reaper an infinite number of times.

Also, you are not required to say that Asura Priest will attack this monster, that monster and that other monster.

You attack a monster with Asura Priest. If Asura Priest is able to attack another monster after the first attack, you may declare its next attack if you want or end attacking with Asura Priest.

Just as I thought. Just making sure.

This dosen't answer my question (maybe it does but I can't see it). Must I declare I am using the cards effect to attack all monsters before I attack the first or do I just attack each in turn until I have attacked them all or asura priest is negated somehow.
3. Normally a monster with an effect that allows him/her to attack more than once must attack until the effect is resolved before using another monster, meaining, you cant stop the attack of Asura Priest, use another monster, then resume attacking again with Asura.

For number 2, you don't declare that you are using the effect. You declare an attack. After it resolves, if Asura Priest is still eligible to attack, you may declare another with Asura Priest, attack with a new monster (in which case Asura Priest will not be able to attack again that turn), or not attack any more.

Asura Priest:"This card can attack all monsters on your opponent's side of the field."
So is this a case of missing text? I always thought that this meant that you either attack one monster with it as any normal monster or else you attack ALL your opponent's monsters, Dlanaan's post seems to imply that you can simply keep attacking (assuming there are no negations) each monster in turn until you don't feel like attacking any of the remaining ones (either due to them being too powerful or some other reason), which is the case? Thanks

But what I mean is can you choose to only attack some of your opponent's monsters whereas the card says you can attack them all if you use it's effect? Obviously you'll attack any weaker monsters first but if your opponent has a monster of a higher attack do you have to also attack it if you use Asura's effect?
