Can I activate Trap of Darkness to copy Mirror Force whenever I want, or only when an attack is declared?!
Trap of Darkness is set and Mirror Force is in the GY.
Only when an attack is declared. Trap of Darkness copies the effect, so you must still meet Mirror Force's activation condition.
Bizarre ruling question, can you use trap of darkness targeting rise of the snake diety to summon Vennominaga? I the answer is no because trap of darkenss does not take the name of the trap it copies, just the effect. Is this correct?!
During a duel, several cards are involved, including Rise of the Snake Deity and Trap of Darkness.
I'm sure you can This means you resolve the interaction according to that ruling, and any dependent parts only apply if the required condition or activation is successfully met.
