Toll paid, then a re-play

Came up at a tournament today and I wasn't certain how it would have worked.

Player B has "Toll" active on the field, a set "Scapegoat", and as it happened, a "Magic Cylinder". No monsters on the field at this time.

Player A has a "Spirit Reaper" face-up in attack. Looking at an open field, Player A pays the 500 lp to declare an attack, targeting Player B's Life Points. In responce to the attack declaration, Player B activates "Scapegoat", the resolution of which causes a replay.

So, does Player A have to pay again for "Toll" since it's a new attack, or does the first payment carry over for the new target ( a Goat token)? In this particular instance it was moot, as Player B decided to simplify things and agree'd to let Player A go with just the one payment since it was his intent to "Magic Clyinder" the attack anyway, but I wanted to know if there were any issued rulings on this.

Couldn't find anything official, but based on what I know, the replay gives your opponent an opportunity to decide if he's going to attack the same monster/directly again or not. That being said, when the replay occurs he has declared an attack once and has to declare the attack to attack again, and Toll forces your opponent to pay for the act of declaration.

A replay goes back to the beginning of the battle step. You don't have to choose the same monster. You select an attacking monster, and can direct the attack to any legal monster on your opponent's side.

Also, since the 500 life points is a cost, once it's paid it won't be refunded, even though the game rewinds. For a another attack, 500 life points would need to be paid again.

And for those that might be wondering, Magic Cylinder targets so it will destroy the Spirit Reaper.

I didn't say you had to choose the same monster, I said you decide if your going to choose the same monster.
