For as much as people complain about Yugioh being complex and "totally a kid's game" This chart is really well made and really explains how things flow. Good job Konami
Keep up the content!! As somebody getting into competitive play I value these videos a lot. Please do a video on the Battle phase/damage step etc I always get stuck with that!
If you are referring to attacking. The first part is called battle step or attack declaration. This is when trigger effects on attack declaration can be played such as borrelsword and mirror force. Also spell speed two cards can be played and spell speed 3. Next it moves to damage step. This is the most complex imo. At this point the only cards that can be played are cards that alter atk and def or spell speed 3 cards or cards that negate activations. Cards that just negate effects cannot be activated. Next is damage calc. Which is inside the damage step. This is where the attack is actually calculated. Then it moves to the end of damage step which is when the monster goes to grave and trigger effects can occur such as hayate. It’s important to note that you can still only activate cards that are mentioned above in the end of damage step. After that the game moves to open game state again
Wait, does that box of both players needing to agree to change phases mean you can declare battle phase, ask the opponent if they want to activate anything in main phase, then decide to continue main phase even if they don’t activate anything?
Hi!!!! great video!!, I have a question if u don't mind... Scenario: I just summon Accescode Talker, and I actived its effect (the boost attack one), my opponent had 3 backrow card, one of them its compulsory evacuation device... I know he cant chain that in this moment.. but could he do that inmediately my effect resolves?? or can I pop the cards without give to him a chance to respond? I know he cant chain to accescode activations, but could he did it when any ot its effects resolves?? That window exist??
It was because of this chart that I always got confused with UCT. Because I thought they couldn't chain to my normal summon because a summon doesn't start a chain, so long as I didnt activate a trigger effect
@@aHumanBeing97 the reason why trap hole still works even though a normal summon doesn’t start a chain is because if turn player doesn’t have a quick effect, they can pass priority to you to use a quick effect or spell speed 2 effect such as a trap.
Awesome vid, you should make a Yugioh Master Class, this game is awesome but there is so much to learn and most info is scattered all over the internet.
So ur example, if my opponent summons lilith, he gets priority to activate his quick effect, but what if i have solemn judgement? Does he still have priority to activate that first? Same situation with solemn judgement to on summon cards like that cyber dragon core? O.O
So if Stellarknight Delteros with xyz materials is on your field and you normal summon a vanilla monster, and no effects were activated, do we skip box c?
Hey great video. I have a question about passing priority. Lets say both players have Torrential Tribute set. I summon a monster, so I should be able to activate torrential before my opponent can do anything. However if I decide to pass priority, and my opponent passes too, can I then activate torrential ("Do both players agree to move to the next step?"), or is it too late?
I think if you’re both trying to agree on who activates what. The timing doesn’t fully matter. Competitive placing: ask a judge. Casual placing: it doesn’t matter you can just decide amongst yourselves. It would probably be a thing with the people I used to play with to send both of them and all monsters to the grave 😂.
How does this work with "on resolution"? I add a card via a card effect and often, after the search goes through and I reveal my search to my opponent *before* I play another card or start a chain people say "on resolution" and activate for example mind crush. How does this work in this context?
Amazing video! Let's say, that you have 7 cards in your hand. You decide to move to your end phase. Can you discard a card by game mechanics before resolving other effects, or does the discard happen at the point when you decide to pass the turn? Also, can you choose the order of effects resolving during the point of passing your turn (like demise's effect that prevents you from special summoning?
Malin Lavrenčič If you have more than 6 cards in your hand, you discard them at the end of your turn, which means the very end of the End Phase. You can activate any effects during the End Phase as long as the last action you do is discarding the cards. If the card has an effect that trigger when you discard it (not by a card effect, because the action is the game mechanics, e.g: Dark World monsters), you can activate it, your opponent responds, etc. If every action has taken place, you proceed to end your turn one more time. That’s what I know.
Whenever they can. Almost every quick play spell card can be activated during your opponents turn. Some continuous. And very few normal. Almost every single trap can be activated during your opponents turn.
Wait, so since a normal summon doesn’t start a chain - how does Torrential Tribute work vs a normal summon? Weren’t the conditions of TT met to wipe the field? Need help!
I just want to get something straight, if i as (priority player) decided to end my main phase and my opponent activates a quick effect and it resolved. I'm allowed to stay in my main phase 1 and keep playing normally or do we have to pass the main phase.?.?
So what would happen if i activate Glow up bloom and want to chain banshee?? Would I be able to chain block or does my opponent get to do something to chain glow up??
After activating glow up bloom priority is passed to your opponent to activate a fast effect. So you cannot chain block with banshee. If there is nothing they wish to activate, you may chain banshee
I’m playing myself. One side have Tyrant RDA blowing board every turn. Turn player have Bunny in hand and can summon lv5. I look up if in MP1 the game state is closed or not. Turned out at beginning of any phase, the game state always ‘Open’ so opposing player can’t just use their quick effect before turn player do something
Now I understand why MD won't let me activate my halquifibrax before my opponent starts a chain! I just wanted my formula synchron to stop missing timing :(
Quick question: if opponent activated effect during my main phase, and has an end of phase resolution; but he wants to activate quick effect on my end phase does previous effect resolve first before a new activation can happen?
Is this different from the OCG / TCG ? Example situation in worlds tournament: Player A playing Sky Striker Player B playing Altergeist. Player A's turn Player A has activated Multirole and resolved its effect. (So player B cannot respond to spells) Player B activated a trap. On resolution. Player B wants to activate faker, but on resolution player A gets priority. Player A activates MST, so player B can't activate effects, player B can no longer activate faker. K thanks! (OCG ruling, at worlds tournament ruled in favour of player A) - ask vlad for more details?
@@terryatobe Im pretty sure they cant as the gheist player had the opportunity to activate on resolution since its an ignition effect. I could be wrong tho, id love a 2nd opinion
If I have both a mandatory eff in the end phase (like to return a monster farfa banished) and a quick eff I wish to activate in the end phase, I can decide whenever to activate my quick eff before my mandatory eff activates right?
After something resolves the turn Player has the priority to activate a fast effect. If doesnt want to then the opponent can activate a fast effect to your resolution of your effect. Am i right?
Many cards can take place that you may wish to activate before your opponent ends their turn, so you must declare that during their end phase you do this instead of saying “before my draw phase”
wow so this why you can d.d. crow ben10 tributed by drytron alpha, because ben10 starts its own chain. meanwhile megalo summon doesnt start a chain so the atlanteans trigger instantly
@@dls1681 That's wrong, declaring an attack isn't the start of a chain. It's an action that can be responded to by a trigger or fast effect. Also the steal effect activates at the start of the damage step, so it wasn't the point of the question. If Borreload activates its trigger effect at that point, the opponent can respond with a fast effect before Borreload can chain its ATK reduction effect.
Chris Stanley in the Standby Phase as well as the draw phase the turn player has priority to use a quick effect before the opponent can. So say you topdeck Super Poly in your draw phase you can use that Priority to activate it before your opponent can activate Epidemic Eradicator Virus for example.
You know maybe they should put this in the rule book they give to new players who buy structure decks so they don’t go to a locals and have all these terms that weren’t explained in the games regular manual to play
Where's the summon negation window? This chart doesn't explain why I can solemn a normal summon, but not an ultimate offering normal summon at chain link 2.
I imagine because the ultimate offering summon is an effect resolution, you have to negate the effect to stop the summon. You cannot activate any effects whilst a chain resolves, even if it's 1 card in the chain.
For as much as people complain about Yugioh being complex and "totally a kid's game"

Damage step is the middle of the Battle phase, and Damage calculation is the middle of Damage step.

Thank you for making this! I had a hard time deciphering this chart, so this really helps!
Im a simple man.
I see a red arrow in a thumbnail.

this is gonna be hard to explain this to yugioh players who are 6+ years old
Could you teach us about all steps of the battle phase? Its the phase I'm most confused about its rulings

Very helpful. Can easily be the difference between losing and winnings games and thus matches 👌
Wait, does that box of both players needing to agree to change phases mean you can declare battle phase, ask the opponent if they want to activate anything in main phase, then decide to continue main phase even if they don’t activate anything?
I think by declaring that you (as the opponent) have nothing to activate, you are also agreeing to move to the next Phase.

Also, can you choose the order of effects resolving during the point of passing your turn (like demise's effect that prevents you from special summoning?
Think of it as a lingering mandatory effect to discard 1 card in ep (that doesnt count as by a card eff) works same way you would expect that to work.
Malin Lavrenčič If you have more than 6 cards in your hand, you discard them at the end of your turn, which means the very end of the End Phase.

I’ve discarded stone of white to be able to pass for turn and still allowed to grab blue eyes from deck to hand before the turn passes!
Would Skystriker Rayes effect trigger, after Accescode Talker destroy a Skystriker link on my Field?
What about trap cards? And quick spells? When can my opponent use them on my turn?
Whenever they can.
Almost every quick play spell card can be activated during your opponents turn. Some continuous. And very few normal.
Almost every single trap can be activated during your opponents turn.

You stay in M1, as per the charte, follow the arrows. Also, you cannot go from M1 straight into M2, it's either Battle Phase ou End Phase.
So what would happen if i activate Glow up bloom and want to chain banshee??
Would I be able to chain block or does my opponent get to do something to chain glow up??
After activating glow up bloom priority is passed to your opponent to activate a fast effect. So you cannot chain block with banshee. If there is nothing they wish to activate, you may chain banshee

(Not a judge) judging by your wording, it seems so.
So does this mean that if my opp. Has a zexal on baord they can activate zexals eff. At the end of my standby phase?
What about situations where a monster "would be" summoned?
Can you activate Lilith before Judgement?
I would assume not, but I'm not sure.
No you can't
Maybe late but you card text always overrides ge mechanics, you NEGATE the actual summon, so its actually never summoned in the first place.
Take a shot everytime he says chart

Example situation in worlds tournament:
Player A playing Sky Striker
Player B playing Altergeist.
Player A's turn

Player B activated a trap.
On resolution. Player B wants to activate faker, but on resolution player A gets priority.

Faker doesn't need to chain to a trap. It's a whole new chain
@@ajaxygo9058 I know. So on the new chain Sky striker player uses MST, and altergeist now can't use multifaker. Which is why I wrote on resolution.
@@terryatobe Im pretty sure they cant as the gheist player had the opportunity to activate on resolution since its an ignition effect. I could be wrong tho, id love a 2nd opinion

Good stuff
After something resolves the turn Player has the priority to activate a fast effect. If doesnt want to then the opponent can activate a fast effect to your resolution of your effect. Am i right?
You got it. As long as nothing in the chain activated a trigger effect
Wait, the chart says that if your opponent wants to end phase, you can say "no" and then they cant
Many cards can take place that you may wish to activate before your opponent ends their turn, so you must declare that during their end phase you do this instead of saying “before my draw phase”
wow so this why you can d.d. crow ben10 tributed by drytron alpha, because ben10 starts its own chain. meanwhile megalo summon doesnt start a chain so the atlanteans trigger instantly
Almost First! Thanks a heap Coder!
Ah, i see u didnt manage to find the last 50 seconds ;) great video though!
8 minute videos now bro. Times have changed old man.
wasted
So if I understood this correctly, you CANT chainblock borreload'a steal effect with it's reduce attack effect
declaring an attack starts a chain so your right that the opponent can respond before borreload activates its quik ef.
@@dls1681 That's wrong, declaring an attack isn't the start of a chain. It's an action that can be responded to by a trigger or fast effect.
Also the steal effect activates at the start of the damage step, so it wasn't the point of the question. If Borreload activates its trigger effect at that point, the opponent can respond with a fast effect before Borreload can chain its ATK reduction effect.
@@Joerisama answering ruling questions even on English video comments!! Pog
I’m what cases can you chain to a special summon?
Whenever someone special summons!
Noice
So who gets priority in standby phase
Chris Stanley in the Standby Phase as well as the draw phase the turn player has priority to use a quick effect before the opponent can. So say you topdeck Super Poly in your draw phase you can use that Priority to activate it before your opponent can activate Epidemic Eradicator Virus for example.
You know maybe they should put this in the rule book they give to new players who buy structure decks so they don’t go to a locals and have all these terms that weren’t explained in the games regular manual to play
They really should. There is so much left to the imagination during casual play, Like MST negating.
Bro just imagine secret rare cyber dragon core ❤🤑
So wait... Priority is back?
Where's the summon negation window? This chart doesn't explain why I can solemn a normal summon, but not an ultimate offering normal summon at chain link 2.
I imagine because the ultimate offering summon is an effect resolution, you have to negate the effect to stop the summon. You cannot activate any effects whilst a chain resolves, even if it's 1 card in the chain.

This ruling is to complicated for children card game :)
