Wrong. Reflected damage due to attacking a monster with higher ATK/DEF than the attacking monster's ATK still counts as battle damage. Stone Statue of the Aztecs having the effect to "Double any battle damage your opponent takes when they attack this monster" is proof of this.

Yata-Garasu inflicting battle damage through reflected damage (somehow) like this would still trigger its effect to skip the draw phase of the opponent's next turn, since it doesn't specify that it has to inflict damage by attacking. That being said, I'm 99% sure that doing this and having Yata peck the opponent on your own turn doesn't cause the two to stack, so the opponent would still only skip one draw phase.

Im not disagreeing with how the reflected part works. That makes sense. Im just saying in this case Yata says that Yata itself has to deal the damage. Which to my current knowledge the reflected damage isnt coming from Yata the card, so I dont think it would trigger.

Not trying to argue or anything. I like figuring out rulings like this cause they can come back to really help.

Doesnt help Im a bit moody with Yugioh today. When on a 7 game losing streak and dropped from Diamond 2 to 4. People making the most ridiculous boards while I got no interruption.

Also how do you deal with Mathmech? They are becoming my damn nemesis at this point. I just got Punk Kash online to try to have something to throw into the mix when Scareclaw and Lab arent working. Im too slow to play Purrely and pure Kash is boring.
