Flip questions (book of moon)

[Dr Sin]

I haven't got any clear answer for that and I have some doubts about when can I flip a monster. Confuse situations:

1) I summon a Blade Knight and my opponent book of moon's it immediately. Since it's still my Main Phase, can I still flip him face-up?

2) I declare an attack with a monster that was already on the field (was summoned in a previous turn) and my opponent book of moon's it. Can I flip him face up in my Main Phase 2?

3) I Snatch my opponent monsters and flip it face down with book (to destroy snatch and keep it under my control). Can I flip it this turn?


I know that the japanese rule is: you haven't flip with your hand a monster this turn you can make it once in this turn (if it hasn't been summoned this turn). Does it apply to ocidental game?

Thanks for any answer anyone can give me.

1. No, you can't manually change a monster's position the same turn as it was summoned.
2. No, the effect of Book of Moon uses up the monster's position change (attack -> defense) for the turn.
3. No, the effect of Book of Moon uses up the monster's position change for the turn. The exception to this is if the monster was in face up defense mode when you Snatch Stealed it, as then using Book of Moon doesn't change it's battle position and so you can still flip it back up by changing it to face up attack mode.

You can never change the battle position of a monster manually if it has already been changed that turn (whether manually or by effect.) You can only further change it by a card effect.


Eg. You've book of moon a face up ATK position monster, you cannot change it down.
Eg. You book of moon a face up DEF position monster, you can flip summon it because it hasnt changed BATTLE position yet.
Eg. You flip summon a monster, you can then book of moon it back.

Once your opponent changed your monsters battle position from face-up attack to face-down defense, the only way to change it back is with the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Monster effect. You cannot manually change position again during that turn.

2) I declare an attack with a monster that was already on the field (was summoned in a previous turn) and my opponent book of moon's it. Can I flip him face up in my Main Phase 2?

Once you declared an attack and your opponent activates Book of Moon to flip your monster face-down, you cannot change the battle position of that monster manually during Main Phase 2 as it has already attempted an attack even though it was not successful.

3) I Snatch my opponent monsters and flip it face down with book (to destroy snatch and keep it under my control). Can I flip it this turn?

If the monster you Snatched was in face-up defense position when it changed control, and you flipped it face-down with Book of Moon, then yes, you may flip summon it as the Battle Position was not changed.

I'm assuming that you are asking that if you have a face-down monster on your side of the field that was previously set on a prior turn, can you flip summon it? The answer is yes. If you are asking if you can flip summon a monster that you "just" set on the field during Main Phase 1 or 2 of that turn, then the answer is no. You can only flip a monster set during that turn "face-up" by the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Monster effect.

I hope this works for ya....
