Darkness Approaches

Discard 2 cards from your hand. Select 1 face-up monster and flip it face-down, but do not change its battle position.

This means that this card, which is legal on DN, can flip a monster into face-down attack position. That is utterly ridiculous...
Opinions?

Card is rubbish, it's silly tho

If the card says it. It's true. But, the word 'but' has me off a little... I never noticed the word 'but' before in any YU-Gi-OH! card before....

It's on DN, so it isn't a fake card, but it is the ONLY card that can put a monster in face-down attack.

If it's on DN... It's gotta be real... But it just throws me off...

I will make you believe! Even if you don't wanna...

@DDS DN cannot even put monsters in facedown attack, sooo trolls

Okayyyy.......

The card is very real and one of those cards you get back in the days and put somewhere of "might work for something silly".

It's the only card that does this kind of thing and the only relevance it has comes from dealing with monsters that got a weird buff out of summoning or some other effect that isn't affected by other circumstances (e.g. cards that get power from the grave). This card would, for example, deal with Great Maju Garzett, removing it's attack completely and leaving it open for a direct attack of sorts.

Of course, this card is completely irrelevant because we have book of moon as it's nearest replacement and that just says plenty already.

Since Heat said this... I will believe it even more now.

On a related note: whenever card text and rules are in dispute (like in this case there not being an official ruling for face-down Attack Position), the card text takes precedence. A face-down Attack Position monster behaves like a face-down Defense Position monster, it is unable to attack, you can Flip Summon it to face-up Attack Position (if you haven't changed the battle position or declared an attack with it this turn), and if attacked, it behaves like a face-down Defense Position monster as well except for being in Attack Position before Damage Calculation, Damage is calculated like usually, and the attacking monster can be destroyed in battle just like if it battled any other face-up Attack Position monster.

Irate mentioned something very important that I forgot: the card text takes precedence.

Even if it sounds silly, that's how the effect works and must be applied.
