If "Ante" is the only card in your hand, you cannot activate it.
Each Player selects 1 card from his/her hand, then looks at the Level of the selected cards. The card with more Levels returns to the hand of the player who selected it. The player who selected the card with fewer Levels takes 1000 Life Points damage and sends the card to the GY. If a non-Monster Card is selected, it is treated as Level 0. If they are the same Level, each player returns his/her card to his/her hand.
If your opponent has no cards in his hand, you cannot activate "Ante".
You select cards at the resolution of "Ante"'s effect, not at "Ante"'s activation.
You cannot chain "Barrel Behind the Door" to "Ante" because you don't know for certain whether you will take damage.
If either player chains "Raigeki Break" or "Last Turn" to "Ante" and then has no cards at resolution of "Ante"'s effect, "Ante"'s effect disappears.
You select cards at the resolution of the effect of "Ante", not at the activation of "Ante".
When "A Legendary Ocean" is active and you activate "Ante", when you check the Level, treat the Levels of WATER monsters in the hand as 1 lower for purposes of "Ante".
If "Cost Down" has successfully resolved before "Ante" resolves, the monster chosen by the player who activated "Cost Down" is reduced by 2 Level Stars as per the effect of "Cost Down."
If either player chains "Raigeki Break" or "Last Turn" to "Ante" and then has no cards at resolution of the effect of "Ante", the effect of "Ante" disappears.
