Crystal Shield while attacking

If you cast crystal shield on a monster AFTER you declare an attack it can still attack that turn, works during the opponent's defend phase as well.

Still needs ruling as if this a bug/exploit/just how the system works to see if it needs fixing or not.

Until the ruling, should we just not do it?

I'd say it probably counts as bug abuse, seeing as that's a pretty major click war issue, and something tells me that's not an intended use of the card. But no one's going to stop you from using the combo I guess.

It's not a clickwar. You can use the Shield after declaring the attack but before moving to your opponent's defense phase.

Ah, right. Then I don't know. I do something similar with Hyperspace and Ninja Baker all the time.

You mean attacking a monster, then Hyperspacing the Ninja who attacked, and you get a Mellonpan from it?

No, it only works when defending because Ninja Baker's ability doesn't work on offense.

If I had known that, I might have not traded mine away.

You probably shouldn't do it, but you're not going to get warned or penalised for doing so if it's not confirmed that it actually is a bug (although it does sound like it is a bug).

I was aware of that Ninja Baker/Hyperspace combo right from the design stage, and I've no idea whether it's actually a bug or not. It might be? But feel free to do that all you want anyway, it uses counters specifically to avoid that interaction being too silly.

Yeah, I figured that's what the counters were for after the first couple uses of that combo. Though it was a little confusing at first why my Melonpans weren't working right.
