Card Rules: Rulings powered by The Netrep API. (Pronounced 'egg-zay'.) If you Summon 'Armor Exe' , flip it face-down with 'Book of Moon' and flip it face-up with 'Book of Taiyou' it CAN attack because its non-attack effect was reset and because flipping it face-up with 'Book of Taiyou' was NOT a Flip Summon. If 'Skill Drain' is active and 'Armor Exe' is Summoned or if 'Skill Drain' is activated after 'Armor Exe' is Summoned in both cases 'Armor Exe' CAN attack the same turn it was Summoned. Removing a Spell Counter from 'Armor Exe' is a cost. [Re: Skill Drain] While 'Skill Drain' is active 'maintenance costs' are not negated (see the Advanced Gameplay FAQ) so you still have to pay for 'The Unfriendly Amazon' 'Armor Exe' Archfiends etc. However all other costs are negated so you do not have to pay to attack with 'Dark Elf' or 'Jirai Gumo'.
