Card Text

You can only activate this effect during a Battle Step of your turn. Decrease the ATK of this card by 400 points, then during battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points. This effect continues until the End Phase of the turn this effect is activated.

When I attack with Exarion Universe and than my opponents activate Scapegoat (I don't chain, neither does my opponent) than Scapegoat resolve and cause a replay than Exarion Universe choose a monster to attack but will a replay, reset Exarion Universe's effect, I don't think because the last sentens says: This effect continues until the End Phase of the turn this effect is activated.

not 100% sure what you are trying to get at here but.....

If exarion attacked a def position monster, and you activate his ability (making him 1400 ATK untill end of turn to give him the ability to trample), and the opponent chains Scapegoat to exarion's ability, the goats would hit the field and a replay would occur. At this point, exarion is a 1400 monster with the ability to trample. The ability cannot be taken back, but the new attack target will still suffer trample damage.

Here is a scenario which might make more of a differece:

you are attacking your opponents face down monster with your exarion, and you activate the effect. Your opponent chains Call of the Haunted and brings his Patrician of Darkness to the field. You have a Reinforcements set and it is able to be activated. Do you attack?
No! 1400 + 500 < 2000. What if you hadn't activated exarion?
Yes! 1800 + 500 > 2000. See what I mean?

I sure hope this lengthy explanation is an accurate one, otherwise I might have to scold myself. But I am 95% sure on this one. If someone wants to fill in the other 5% feel more than free to.

1. It almost sounds more like he was trying to attack directly and therefore never activated Eggy's effect. But because Scapegoat caused a replay, he's wondering if when Eggy attacks again if he can choose to activate his effect at that time...

To which I say, yes. The replay occurs and causes Eggy's battle step to restart, and also allowing the controller the option of activating his effect?

Am I right?

I guess what it comes down to is whether or not the Battle Step for a monster "restarts" when a replay occurs. If "yes", then you can choose to activate the effect again, or simply not activate it. Or if "no", then the effect would have already been active and the user not be able to take it back... or the effect wasn't activated and not be able to be activated anyway.

There's probably a "yes... but" that I'm missing, lol

:ninja: When the replay occurs, you have the option of declaring the attack again or not attacking, which should also allow you to declare you are going to activate his effect also.

I don't see why he shouldnt be able to do so. :ninja:

What portion of gameplay are you in when a replay occurs? The Damge Step? Nope. Your in your declartion portion of your Battle Phase. So that means you've gone back to the begging of your Battle Step.

There is nothing in the card text to indicate that activation conditions require them to be only when you've first entered your Battle Step. It doesn't even say you can only activate this effect once per turn. . Consider if an Equip Card was granting the monster the ability to attack twice. Both attacks would require the opponent to enter his Battle Step. So he could choose to activate the effect for one attack and not for the other.

But the effect will remain active until the End Phase so you would still be a 1400 trampler for attack #2. Now I could see wanting to activate the effect again if you were planning to activate Reverse Trap during that second attack. :)

but like you guys said, you can only activate it once. After that, even if he can attack twice for some reason or a replay occurs, the effect is still active because it has been activated. Therefore, you have no choice. If you activated exarion's effect on the preceding attack (provided he will be attacking again), this condition cannot be changed until the condition expires at the end of the turn.

You can only activate it once, if you only attack once. If you can attack more then once for some reason you can activate the effect again. The "trample" effect obviously cannot be apllied any more than it already has, but the ATK decrease would most certainly be applied again. Not sure why one would do this, but it's important to know that its possible. ;)

That is crazy. I didn't even think about that.....I just wanted to point out the trample effect lingers for the remainder of the turn (as does the ATK decrease) if for some reason those facts even matter.
