One thing that Dave didn't mention but that is VERY important in tournament play is that when changing phases both players must "agree" to move to the next phase. More specifically the turn player has the sole right to _attempt_ to move to the next phase; they must declare their intention to move to the next phase, however if their opponent wishes to do something before the phase changes they may activate a card or effect at this time. This stops the phase from changing and the turn player remains in the current phase, and may then attempt to proceed to the next phase again. This _does not_ mean that the opponent can simply refuse to let the phase change for no reason, they must have a card or effect that they wish to activate.
You should do the "how to read a card" video first as otherwise people might have more difficulty understanding anything regarding the use and purpose of cards in future videos.
as true as that is i feel like card effects for the most part are pretty self explanatory, granted it did take me a little bit to get used to the wording
@@deankinsella3579 most high level monsters that you would would WANT to play special summon themselves. The others are bad and it odesn't matter if they take 2 tributes or 100, noone is gonna play them.
Can't thank you enough for taking the time and effort to help others understand this wonderful game. It can be very daunting for new players so this is invaluable.
@@GrantSweatshirt Wow, crazy to think it’s been a whole year! I’ve learned a lot and grown my collection. Have a deck built just waiting for tournaments to open up in my area. Great to hear from you :)
I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but during the End Phase, you also have to send cards from your hand to the GY until you have 6(?) cards in your hand. It doesn't come up often, but it can if you drew a bunch and couldn't pop off.
Awesome video Dav, informative and well-delivered, I would definitely recommend this to my students who are new or returning to Yugioh. Perhaps in a future video, can you explain the minor interactions when it comes to "Before damage Step", "During damage step", and "before/after Damage calculation"
Thank you, man! I really appreciate this a lot. I've literally just got into Yu-Gi-Oh and need all the help I can get 😅 I've played magic and Pokemon TCG and figured how hard can Yu-Gi-Oh be? Turns out it's a little similar, but also a lot different. I'll be watching all these how to videos many times 😄
@@davinator1212 do you have a video on deck building details? Like one that talks about card ratios, and how many copies of a creature you can have in a deck?
Hey Dave, the video is good and informative but I'm going to be "that guy" and point out a minor error that you surely made just out of distraction at 11:55: the players first play the minigame to decide who starts first, then they draw their 5 cards. Back then, I knew some probably new players that actually didn't think this order was important or even required at all, but it's obviously a crucial point as you know so I felt like it would be relevant to say it here
I appreciate the breakdown, but there is SOOOO much more to this game than I imagined. I promised my son I would learn to play, I'm pretty sure this should win me mom of the year!
Alright, easiest way is probably using the app on a phone. Sign in to it, then click my discord link in the description of any video I've posted. It SHOULD accept the invite to the server for you. Once there, a welcome screen should walk you through getting what you need to start talking to people on it. You can always use the "@" and then my channel name in the server to get my attention. Keiran or Aranethon would also be able to help.
One minor thing i can add with "turn playier" im shur dave will go into into more detail later but were turn playier can activate trap and quick plays at will were the other playier when playing their set quick play spells or traps you have to respond to a turn playiers card or a "end of phase" witch is why you want to declare phases in tournament play and why you do it like everything eless strategie
lol yea, you can't just flip traps an'shit whenever, turn player has priority. I actually mentioned this but cut it because I felt it was getting "too much at once".
@@davinator1212 i just thought it was something i could add i get thats its a little much for a bare bones explanation better for a video on chains and such
Kinda nothing but I felt it was important to mention that you can only flip summon every monster once, and if you just normal summoned a monster you cannot flip summon it that same turn. Just in case someone misinterprets what you wrote as "I can set shaddoll hedgrhog and the flip summon it!" or otger hot takes.
Is it possible for Yugioh to have a clock like in chess where you clock out when you want to end a phase and the opponent has to acknowledge by clocking out? Or is this too tedious?
Quick question, I had two cards on the field at the start of my battle phase. One card, I just fusion summond that turn, the other, a monster I normal set in defense position on a previous turn. I attacked with the fusion summoned and the oppenent pulled a trap card which let to a series of set ups for him, once he was done, it was still my battle phase. Was it legal for me to turn my defense position normal monster I set in a previous turn to attack position and attack?
What's happens if for example you play swords of concealing and before it destroys itself you play a card or effect that negates or prevents a card from being destroyed would swords still destroy itself and go to the gy or stay on the field because its destruction effect is negated?
VERY educational video tbh & videos like this should've been on TH-cam besides lectures of a manual that given to you when you buy a Starter or a Structure deck !!! 💪😎😤🔥 13:40 you SHOULD really drop tbh because those symbols on those cards are hard to understand when the time is right and especially when you wanna know on how to play/use the card yourself😥
I have a question, some monster cards state “during the stand by phase you can destroy a card” I wanna know the differences such as is this during mine and opponents turn? Also difference between “during your standby” vs “during your opponents standby” vs “during the/a standby”
@@davinator1212 yes it’s blue eyes alternative dragon. It says “ once per turn: you can target 1 card your opponent controls, destroy it. Is it once on my turn and then once firing opponents turn? Or just mine?
It is just on your turn. If the effect can be used on both the card will state that it can be used on either players turn, or it will have the words "(Quick effect)" to denote that it can be used any time.
Okay guys- hear me out. And disclaimer: I haven't even looked at or participated in this game since literally 2008. So what I'm about to say could be complete bullshit nonsense and make no sense and feel free to tell me to get the Hell outta' here (lol)- but a couple of weeks ago I randomly decided to get back into this game. And in my research of all of these new mechanics I'm realizing that there is an element of simplicity that I can already tell that I miss when it comes to this game. Yes, this game is praised for its complexity and I get that. That's why this isn't necessarily a just-for-kid's game and is very strategic and complex. But things can be complex and simple at the same time- they aren't always mutually exclusive. A game can be complex while utilizing the simplest of principles- and I miss some of the simplicity. Again, y'all are the experts and have been playing a lot longer than me- so please feel free to tell me if you disagree. Or maybe I'll be surprised and some of you agree a little bit? Or maybe some of you love XYZ and hate Pendulums for example. But I guess my main point is that it seems the game has evolved so much to the point that there is somewhat of a power imbalance between what type of mechanics/strategy one player chooses to utilize compared to another player. If Player A has an old school deck with mainly effect monsters they won't have a chance when dueling with Player B who is utilizing XYZ, Link, Pendulum, Synchro monsters. Or am I completely wrong about that?? Are there any advanced players out there who choose to not use some of the newer mechanics altogether? Or do most of you just create different decks using different types and play around to see which ones you ultimately prefer? I guess I'm just hoping that the people who choose to use certain mechanics aren't able to significantly be at an advantage in the game. That would seem unfair. Hopefully I'm not talking out of my ass and I think I am. So I will leave now LMAO. I think I'm just getting confused and frustrated in my research of all this new stuff and it's making me self conscious and I just feel desperate for answers. I feel like I would feel better if I heard an advanced player flat out say "XYZ are shit" or "Pendulums are shit" LOL

When I first started playing Yugioh, I thought Level 10 and up monsters needed 3 tributes.
honestly, I'm not sure whey they don't.
Same but with cards like moisture creature i thought it was lvl 9 and up
@@davinator1212 because it would make 99% of high level monster even more unplayable then they already are

People definitely need to know how to read cards. We need that video.
Can't thank you enough for taking the time and effort to help others understand this wonderful game. It can be very daunting for new players so this is invaluable.
9:18 if you failed to summon in Main phase 1, you can still summon in Main Phase 2.

Yes, both are important. I’m hoping you covered both as I proceed in watching the series. You’re a good teacher 👍🏻
I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but during the End Phase, you also have to send cards from your hand to the GY until you have 6(?) cards in your hand. It doesn't come up often, but it can if you drew a bunch and couldn't pop off.
I know almost nothing about YuGiOh at the moment and this video helped me a lot just learning about the basics so thanks this was very helpful
7:40
In the battle phase exactly what it sounds like, an ambulance in the background ready to carry your butt after this.
Can't wait for the 'How to read a card vid', as a casual Darklord player, i dont really understand whenever Superbia misses timing or not
yeah, if you could read cards, you probably wouldn't play Darklords. *horns* *dabs* *Fortnite dancing*
You said "turn" 52 times this video LOL. I might be off by a couple because you said it A LOT during the intro xD
And remember, if you don't turn the meta who will?
According to the transcript, 65 times.
Awesome video Dav, informative and well-delivered, I would definitely recommend this to my students who are new or returning to Yugioh. Perhaps in a future video, can you explain the minor interactions when it comes to "Before damage Step", "During damage step", and "before/after Damage calculation"
These videos are excellent. Easy to understand and very detailed.
Imma have a shot for each time he said “turn”

52 shots?
Easily one of the best instructive videos available on TH-cam right now! Would love to see even more beyond probably solving text.

what would i do if i had a magic card?
I thought each star after 4 meant that many monsters where needed to play the higher cost.. as in 5 is 1 monster, 6 is 2 monsters and so on
My question about spell cards is, if you lay them on the field can you play them during either turn?
I am lerning yu-gi-o
VERY educational video tbh & videos like this should've been on TH-cam besides lectures of a manual that given to you when you buy a Starter or a Structure deck !!! 💪😎😤🔥
13:40 you SHOULD really drop tbh because those symbols on those cards are hard to understand when the time is right and especially when you wanna know on how to play/use the card yourself😥

Wait 1 pendulum summon 😞 they really hurt em like that
What? You only ever had 1.
I have a question, some monster cards state “during the stand by phase you can destroy a card” I wanna know the differences such as is this during mine and opponents turn?
Also difference between “during your standby” vs “during your opponents standby” vs “during the/a standby”
If it doesn't specify which Standby Phase it can be either.
Is there a specific card you are wondering about?

How many cards are you allowed to play per turn? Including monsters and trap/magic cards
Short answer: yes
You can play as many cards as you can. There is no limit on the number of cards that can be played a turn
As long as its a legal action, there is no limit.
Can you explain all of that while actually having a duel with someone else thank you 😊
Can u attack and eliminate monsters and then have ur remaining attack monsters attack their life points directly?
Yes, that's is normally how you win.
Forgot adjusting hand
wut?
@@davinator1212 at the end phase if you have 7 or more cards, you have to discard till you have 6. You know adjusting hand
