What if you have a Dragon type monster card in attack position and your opponent activates Capture Jar putting face-up defence plus disables it from attacking?

That's a great question that gets into the nuances of how Capture Jar interacts with monster effects! Here's the breakdown:

* Capture Jar's Effect: Capture Jar forces your opponent's monster into face-down Defense Position and prevents it from attacking. This effect is continuous and lasts as long as Capture Jar remains on the field.

* Dragon-Type Monsters: Dragon-type monsters themselves don't have a special interaction with Capture Jar.

* Monster Effects: The key here is to consider whether your Dragon monster has any specific effects that might be relevant.

Here are the possible scenarios:

Scenario 1: Your Dragon has no relevant effects

* If your Dragon doesn't have any effects that trigger when it's changed to Defense Position or prevented from attacking, Capture Jar will simply do its job. Your Dragon will be stuck in Defense Position and unable to attack.

Scenario 2: Your Dragon has an effect that triggers when it's in Defense Position

* Some Dragon monsters have effects that activate when they are in Defense Position. If your Dragon has such an effect, it will trigger as normal.

Scenario 3: Your Dragon has an effect that triggers when it's prevented from attacking

* A few Dragon monsters have effects that trigger when they are prevented from attacking. If your Dragon has such an effect, it will also trigger as normal.

Important Notes:

* Timing: Capture Jar's effect is a continuous effect that remains in effect as long as Capture Jar is on the field. This means that even if your Dragon's effect would normally require a specific trigger like a battle phase or a turn end, Capture Jar's effect prevents it from attacking, effectively creating that trigger.

* Card-Specific Effects: Be sure to check the specific text of your Dragon's card to see if it has any relevant effects.

Example:

Let's say you have "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" in Attack Position. Capture Jar is activated, forcing Red-Eyes into Defense Position and disabling it from attacking. Since Red-Eyes Black Dragon has no specific effects related to being in Defense Position or being unable to attack, it is simply affected by Capture Jar.

However, if you have "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" in Attack Position, and Capture Jar is activated, Black Luster Soldier's effect would trigger because its effect activates when it's in Defense Position.

Let me know if you have a specific Dragon monster in mind, and I can help you determine how it would interact with Capture Jar!
