Goat format ruling: Rare Metalmorph in Damage Step

[LuuBuu125]

Hello everyone,

I have a specific ruling question about "Rare Metalmorph" especially in Goat Format: Can i activate it at the start of the damage step to raise my monster's atk? It is a continous trap, so no, but it's also atk raising, so yes. With researches I found, that this is ruled as a Spell Speed 3, but the ruling is from 2010. Is it the same for Goat format?

Greetings

It isn't a Spell Speed 3.

Only cards that can do one of the following can activate during the damage step.

Increase Attack Power

Negate the activation of a card

(there might be 1 or 2 more instances but meh)

Also by OCG ruling, yes you can activate in the Damage Step
