Spirit Ryu and it's effect...

[Tkwiget]

I was wondering about this card lately for a possible Dimensional Dragon type of deck. Just for something to pass the time I was pondering on Spirit Ryu's card text.

It says that you can discard 1 Dragon-Type monster card from your hand to give it 1000 attack and defense during the Battle Step of the Battle Phase. This is where Spell Speed 2 can be activated and Spirit Ryu would fall under that effect speed category I assume. So here is the real question that I have because I am basing this off of the Injection Fairy Lily ruling with the Battle Phase.

Can Spirit Ryu discard multiple Dragon cards during the Battle Step or is this like Lily and can only pump once???

I think I have understood this - wish I had read this yesterday.

So, when my son makes me pick up 7 dragons through his abuse of Cyber Jar, in my turn I get to summon Spririt Ryu, declare an attack and then repeatedly activate Spirit Ryu's effect pumping it to 7000 attack?

o btw it would be pumped up to 8000atk as its original atk is 1000 and by discard 7x dragons it gets a 7000atk boost (so 1000+7000=8000) lol. just thought i would add that pointless bit in here.

Perhaps one of the 7 Dragons he drew was that Spirit Ryu, leaving only 6 Dragons available to discard by Spirit Ryu's effect to give Spirit Ryu a grand total of the aforementioned 7000 ATK.
