there is a problem with the rule of drillago

it is said on this site that drillago cannot attack directly the life points if there are spell cards or trap cards on the oponent field

ok but why it is said after that if the oponent actives book of moon on one of his monster drillago cannot attack there is a non-sense so can you explain

Ok, here's the exact ruling you're referring to...

"If "Drillago" attacks directly, and your opponent activates "Book of Moon" to flip one of his face-up monsters face-down, there is no longer a condition allowing "Drillago" to attack directly, and a replay occurs."

Here is the text on Drillago:

"When there are only face-up monsters with ATK 1600 or more on your opponent's side of the field, this monster can attack your opponent's life points directly."

The ruling is because in response to the controller of Drillago announcing his attack, Book of Moon is activated, if Book of Moon targets the opponent's face-up monster, there is now no way the controller of Drillago can attack directly with it because there are no longer any f/u monsters on the opposing players side of the field. A replay is then done, allowing the controller to choose to attack the opponent's monster rather then life points because they no longer can attack directly.

ok so drillago can attack directly the life points if there are only monsters face up with 1600 or higher atk and spell cards or trap cards on the field

in fact it is not important if there are spell cards or trap cards on the opposite field

i'm i wrong?

No it is important. If there are any spell, trap, or face-down monsters on their side of the field, your Drillago can not attack directly.

The literal text for the ruling is in the effect of Drillago, which reads "When there are ONLY face-up monsters with 1600 ATK or higher..."

I'm not even sure how that could happen, I'm thinking they're looking at it as if you attacked directly and then activated your own Book of Moon to flip the opponent's monster f/d. Not the opponent activating it, when the ruling was made, they were mainly trying to hit just about every major possibility there could be with Drillago and cards that could interact with it, so I think that's why it was added, since you yourself could play Book of Moon on an opponent's f/u monster.

If "Drillago" attacks directly, and your opponent activates an effect to reduce one of his face-up monsters to less than 1600 ATK, there is no longer a condition allowing "Drillago" to attack directly, and a replay occurs.

If "Drillago" attacks directly, and your opponent activates "Book of Moon" to flip one of his face-up monsters face-down, there is no longer a condition allowing "Drillago" to attack directly, and a replay occurs.


This is what it states on Ronin.  Im with Jean on this one.  The first one could be interpreted as "maybe" a monster effect or a discard from hand.  But it definitely says in the second that "Book of Moon" is activated by the opponent who is getting attacked directly.  That's kind of hard to get around as he cannot activate a Quick-Play from hand when its not his turn.

They only way I can make this make sense is if they meant face-up Spell and Trap Cards in Drillago's effect.  If the Spells and Traps are face-down, then there is only face-up Monsters, and Drillago can attack directly.  Once you activate Book of Moon, when its effect resolves, it goes to the Graveyard, so it is no longer on the field face-up, but there is also a monster card face-down, so Drillago's effect disappears. :?

Or it could have just been a situation where the person writing the file was trying to cover all the bases. Consider the Book of Moon situation as: If a face-up monster is turned face-down in response to Drillago attacking directly by its effect, a Replay occurs.
