Just to confirm:

Basically, if The Dark Door is on the field, if an attack is negated, your opponent cannot attack with anymore monsters, because it counts as an attack.

The ruling is logical, because the monster itself cannot attack again after its attack was negated for the same reasons.

However, Dark Spirit Of The Silent negates 1 attack, then selects another monster to attack. But because of The Dark Door, the second attack fails!

So basically, does using Dark Spirit Of The Silent while The Dark Door is on the field result in a Negate Attack?

Thanks you for answering.

I think Yes.
But i also have a question>Can my opponet activate normal,continous or ritual spell cards during my Main phase?

Yes the result is a negate attack.

No your opponent can not activate any magic unless it is a quickplay magic card that is set.

On the contrary, "Dark Spirit of the Silent" overrides the effect of "The Dark Door", and the monster would indeed attack.

And no, to GrimReaperZ.

Vegetarian please explain how a monster effect can take presidense over a continious magic card? Thats like saying berserk gorilla can attack threw gravity bind just because it has to attack every turn.

Dark Spirit of the Silent is a funny card. In a way it can cause certain effects to override others. Hence the rulings I posted above...

"Dark Spirit of the Silent" seems to be one of the only cards that overrides attack restrictions, since it doesn't have the monster manually attack, it's attacking through an effect. Obviously it does override "Gravity Bind".

Just to point out something about this............ Dark Spirit is NOT a monster card therefore no monster is overriding an effect a TRAP CARD is overriding the effect of another s/t card.............

ok, interesting ruling from a long time ago in the "Ring of Magnetism" days.

if YOU have a continuous effect, like RoM, place on one of your opponent's monsters, then YOU play a card like Dark Spirt, and target the monster locked down by YOUR RoM, the monster will indeed get to attack.

why, because it is YOUR continuous effect that is locking down the monster, and you have the ability to allow the monster (through another card effect) to attack you despite YOUR continuous effect.

now, your opponent cannot override your continous lockdown effect, but you most certainly can.

now, Ring of Magnestism forces the opponent's to attack a selected equipped monster on your side of the field, but you can always override the effect and force an opponent's monster to attack another of your monsters. this is where the ruling originally came from.

this extrapolates to the Dark Spirit ruling when you lock down your opponent's monster with Spellbinding Circle or Nightmare Wheel, then force the monster to attack with Dark Spirit. yes, it will attack you at that time.

again, if YOU control the Gravity Bind, and a L3 monster declares an attack, then you Dark Spirit a L4 or higher monster to attack you, then yes, they will be forced to attack through your Gravity Bind. but, you would need that initial attack declaration first.

if your opponent controlled the Gravity Bind, you could not force an opponent's L4 monster to attack you then. you may only override your own effects with card effects.

Thank you very much. You have cleared a great deal many things for me, fantasyzz.

Dark Spirit Of The Silent is a lot more interesting now...

On the contrary, it doesn't matter who controls the effect that is stopping the attack.
