Can You Activate Call of the Haunted During Your Battle Phase?

You can activate Call of the Haunted during your opponent’s Battle Step, and this will cause a Replay, but you cannot activate it during your own Battle Phase as only effects that are activated “during damage calculation” and effects that negate them can be activated at this time. The activation of Call of the Haunted is a strategic move that can significantly impact the game, especially when used in conjunction with other trap cards or monster effects.
