Important mistake: trigger effects can be activated in the dmg step only if they trigger by cards moving locations or battle positions. You can't use faker in the dmg step if you use a counter trap
cadonuno we know faker can’t be used in the damage step because of its clause that says “if you activate a trap except during the damage step” which I think it’s helpful
Hi, If I attack someone with a hero monster and they other say OK then I discard honest neos to add to 2500 to that hero. Was I still in attack step or did we into demage step? And do you have to call out damage step to be in damage step?
Fully watched this video, rewinded it at points. And I still only got 90% of it, I'll probably have to re-watch this again sometime. Man this game is fun
Thanks for the amazing content man. I just took down some notes. Please make more videos like this in the future. I definitely appreciated all this information.
GREAT content! I think it would be amazing to have this info on posters to put up on the walls at locals. Do you already have plans for similar projects?
I might do one to explain SEGOC.... But many people did it before... But I'll do it for the sake of completing then Yu-Gi-Oh ruling Trinity. Battle Phase, Priority, SEGOC...
This was basically what I was trying to get at during the Linkuribou vs borrload dragon vs battle traps vid I hate when people try to advance the phase and not give their the opponent time to react. Fast effects can Happen but, turn player has priority to activate the first one. The annoyance For me because I am a pendulum player is having trickstar reincarnation dropped on me along with a present box too boot. Playing against them it's best to make the first move pray you get a twin twisters set from opening hand or just something to counter those nasty 2 cards or just beat them over fast and try not to run out of life before you pull it off.
Your videos are always really high quality and extremely informative. Thanks for all the effort you put into making these videos not boring and to the point.
Hey quick idea for a video similar to this in the future. Do multiple tabs on the top of the screen in chronological order of what phase is in what step order. Maybe color them different as well and have them highlighted when your discussing them in the video.
At 5:16, I'm confused on why you said only 1 attack declaration monster trigger can activate. I just tried the following interaction in EDOPro: Chain Link 1 Linkuriboh Chain Link 2 Kunquery I dunno when you'd WANT to do that, but apparently you can? Of course, you do have to pass priority to your opponent so you can't automatically chain to yourself, but assuming your opponent passes back to you, my point is that apparently you CAN do Kunquery and Linkuriboh in the same chain link.
I need to be a bit more clear for future references. 2 triggers in the hand cannot activate in to the same trigger. Ie. You cannot use 2 battle faders to the same attack, 2 gorz from the same damage. Etc.
@@MSTTV No, not 2 Kunquery. But 2 different monsters that both trigger from attack declaration, rather. Thank you for going back to this and looking, not a lot of Yugitubers do that!
When should you activate quick effects like Gouki Twistcobra? For example: Your opponent declares an attack on your Suprex. If you activate Twistcobra on declaration/battle step (by tributing Cobra targeting Suprex) they can just choose to not attack. Could you activate Twistcobra's effect in the Damage Step since it modifies attack/defense? And if you do, can they still decide not to attack? Basically, can you activate quick effects in the damage step if they change the board state?
If the effects of Asymmetaphys (x2) are triggered during the battle phase off of Metaphys Decoy Dragon's effect, the opponent's monster switches positions twice: from attack to defense to attack. The opponent can no longer declare an attack even if it has been switched back to attack position, correct?
If there is no attack declaration chain, can you start other chains in the battle step? For example, you declare an attack, your opponent has a set mirror force, you pass priority, they pass back. Can you then activate book of moon on the attack target and they can't chain mirror force?
You can. Mirror Force can only be activated in the initial chain, so if they pass priority once, they can no longer activate it. Reference: yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Mirror_Force
Hi Tom! Really love the video, it really explains In detail the battle phase, I have one quick question though, what if I have a facedown bagooska, attacked by an opponent's monster, let's say Utopia the lightning, when bagooska flips face up its cont. Effect starts applying, in this case neither monster is removed from the filed, but it's already start of damage step, is bagooska destroyed or not? Thank you in advance
What happens if the attack target not longer becomes valid in the Damage Step, like if I used Lost Wind against my opponents directly attacking Hayate at the start of the Damage Step?
You said that continuous effects arent applied in performing damage calc, but prevent destruction, for example, Thunder Dragon Colossus, isn't a continuous effect? You said that can use this effect, I think yes too, but i didn't understand this part that you said continuous effect shouldnt be apply
If i attack a linkuriboh of my opponent. At the attack decklaration Timing chain could i use something like mst on a backrow (since i have turn Player priority) forcing linkuriboh to miss his timing since he has a when effect an needs to be chained directly after the attack decklaration?
Question I am a new player: I have a crystal wing synchro dragon and attack a facedown wall of illusion, can I negate the effect and destroy it or the or will it return crystal wing to the extra deck?
I was always slightly confused by entering battle phase. Like if they enter battle phase am i (as not turn player) then say that i want to activate something at the end of Main phase? Like a conductor or something
Now I know that SS 2 is where you can use attack modifiers like Honest, but my question is even though said the turn player used Honest, could the opposing player use their Honest AFTER the turn player used theirs in which this would result in a new chain?
DOUBT: If I a have a random monster and a set BA and they attack the face-down BA does it leave the field on the step 4(after damage calculation) or before?
So if I attack with a Cyberdark equiped with cyberdark claw and claw sends n'tiss and n'tiss targets my opponents monster that I'm attacking does the monster get destroyed before the battle dammage/destruction of my monster(if it had less attack)
The fact that it took nearly 20 goddamn minutes to explain an integral phase of Yugioh and all of its steps that is essentially required to know is a damn shame.
Elijah Buscho That’s a nice and optimistic way to look at it, but imagine newcomers trying to get into the game and see that there’s all these weird ass rulings and steps that are not made clear by Konami in the rule books that they print out. It’s not like this and other stuff are cool strategies/techniques like “castling” in chess...these are actual rules that you must go through or risk disqualification in an actual event and that’s hella bad on Konamis part
@@P3rks0fLife that's true. I think it's kind of like learning a language. Languages aren't "new player" friendly either, but babies learn languages. They learn by listening and speaking. the New players shouldn't learn all of these details at once. You just learn the basics, and you get a feel for it through playing. Once you get a feel for it, you can start to learn all of the intricacies. Learning a new archetype is like that too. You don't go card by card and learn all of the details about it, you learn about basically how they interact and what they do, and then you learn specific interactions and details that let you advance your play. As for a tournament setting, these details often don't come up, also new players don't compete in high level tournaments where this would matter, and also a more experienced player should have the upper hand. This details are what separate good players from mediocre players. It makes yugioh more skill based than luck based. These are just some of my thoughts after returning to the game after 4 years. What I love about Yu-Gi-Oh are these details that continue to challenge me
Elijah Buscho You have a point, but comparing learning a new language to learning the rules and intricacies of a children’s card game is kind of a stretch 😂. When you consider the audience that Konami wants to attract w/ Yugioh, while how it is may be fine for me and you, it’s not for the people that Konami want to attract and also not fine for how a game should be structured in general and for the sake of Yugioh as a game that I still love, I think Konami needs to do a much better job at clarifying all of the rules of the game.
@@P3rks0fLife that's really true. Learning about rulings and all of that stuff can be a pain. Especially when things change. I have yet to find a consistent way of learning all I need to. As for the language metaphor, I just meant how grammar rules are super intricate like Yu-Gi-Oh, but you don't learn all of those details, you just learn about like nouns and verbs, and you absorb everything else by practicing. It might be the tightest metaphor...
You mention that cards that negate activations can be used during the damage step. However, in the rule book it states that only atk/def modifiers and counter traps can be activated. Is there something I’m missing?
@@xarkangelxygo img.yugioh-card.com/uk/gameplay/rulings/Rules_STOR.pdf From Konami themselves this is a reference from Storm of Ragnarok. Look under Shi En. yugipedia.com/wiki/Damage_Step#Cards_and_effects_that_can_be_activated Check all the reference links, they all go to Konami resources.
@@P90Expert136 Not correct. CDI has an activation negation effect, an effect that directly negates the activation of a card or effect, which is one of the effect types that are allowed in the damage step. It has absolutely nothing to do with spell speed.
In the end of battle phases what happens in this example. My opponent actives evenly match I chained solemn judgement My opponent has a second evenly match in his hand. Can he activate it in a separate chain? Are we still in the end of the battle phase? Or did we enter main phase 2 after solemn judgement resolved?
Since both players need to agree and move forward to the next Step, yes he can still actívate a second or third copy of Evenly Matched uf aplicable. Solemn Judgment will not End the End Step
Now that Tombox mentioned the card: I have a question regarding Mind Crush; Do I have to have a card in my hand to activate it for the case that I call wrong or can I activate it without any cards in my hand?
You need at least 1 card in hand to activate mind crush. Mind crush if you have 2 cards in hand you can activate 2 mind crush in the same chain. If you only have 1 card in hand and 2 mind crush, you can only activate one per chain.
Ya mean Limiter Removal? if so, it's because your friend probably activated it during the Damage Step and Ring of Destruction cannot be activated during that step
So i can activate a malacoda (the ba ritual) in damage step, in damage calc. So i activate him discard farfa to lower the atk of something, but when does my discarded farfa resolv.
Malacoda could only be used as late as Substep 2 (Before Damage Calc). After that resolves, Farfa will activate in a new chain in the same Substep (Before Damage Calc). Since BA monsters trigger if they are sent to the graveyard, the phase won't change until you use them or choose not to use them.
Can i attack with 3 monsters on my field and afterwards link summon a 3-link by using those 3 monsters, then attack with the link summon? Or lets say you have fusion material monsters on the field, you attack with them individually first, then do fusion, and then attack again with the fusion monster. This confuses me.
You can't do either of those. Normal spell cards like Polymerization and Invocation cannot be activated during the Battle Phase. Most types of Summoning (Normal, Tribute, Pendulum, Xyz, Ritual, Synchro, Link, and some other types of Special Summoning) can also not be done during the BP. Monster effects that are considered Quick effects, Traps, and Quick-play spells like Mask Change, De-Fusion, and Super Polymerization work though
So in regards to Honest (during damage step), can I chain it to a card such as Score the Melodious Diva (during damage calc.)so that Honest resolves first, boosting my atk then Score resolves reducing their atk to 0?
No, Honest says "During the Damage Step", really meaning "In the damage step, but not during damage calculation". A card must state "During Damage Calculation" to be activatable in Damage Calculation, such as Bujingi Crane or Witchcrafter Madame Verre. So, if you're using Honest, you then pass priority to your opponent, then they use Score the Melodious Diva in Damage Calculation, and then your monster, which was boosted by Honest, goes down to 0 ATK.
@@TheDakotaCruiser No worries, I knew what you meant, I just gave a different chain link example it seems. No, they must go in different chain links because they function in different substeps of the Damage Step.
So ur saying that if I give my opponent opportunity to respond at beginning and they say No, then I declare an attack and my opponent activates excavation device, they can't do that?
yes, for example your monster declare an attack to a opponent monster meanwhile they control linkuriboh, linkuriboh effect activate so that its longer the field, and the battle restart
@@YeahTheDuckweed I'm talking about if the person who attacked has the number of monsters changed on their side of the field. Is there a reselection of atk target?
Please Help: Let's say I have Amazoness Princess on the field and Amazoness Baby Tiger in the Grave. I declare an attack with Princess and activate her effect to special summon a Amazoness monster from deck. The Special Summon is successful. When can I use the trigger effect of the Baby Tiger, which says: _If an 'Amazoness' monster is special summoned..._ Will the attack go on and my Baby Tiger summons after the Damage Step or will he trigger right after the special summon and after his effect, the attack of the Princess continues?
Based on that wording, baby tiger will trigger when the monster summoned by princess is successful, so it's still before you leave the battle step, but don't quote me on it as I HAVE NOT looked up the card text.
Well yah battle phase is split into 3 steps. Start Step (when you enter) Battle step (damage step which if you choose to battle and go down that ) and end step (where evenly match occurs), but to Guarantee you can have that timing. You may need to interupt your opponent before they play the card. And your opponent will need to declare end of battle phase.
Your locals isn't wrong: IN the main Phase, the turn player gets first move in the open game state then you follow the fast effect timing chart. If the game state is open then the turn player gets to do the first action. In the battle phase however: there is the Start Step: Which the turn player gets first quick effect action, then if they don't then it goes to the OPP. If nothing. Then we move on to the battle step: Which is the timing where the attacks are declared. At that timing the turn player can declare an attack and the opposing player can choose to respond. If the turn player attempts to move on to the end step both players must agree to move forward, other wise a SS2 effect can be used at this point. Then the end step. But it is true Turn player gets the first action. But that doesnt mean they can skip any of the steps inbetween.
Yochiro91 as long as meluseek is destroyed by battle (triggering her search effect at the end of the damage step) your opponent cannot use ash blossom on said effect, as ash blossom only negates the effect, not the activation. Should you however just use meluseek as link /synchro/fusion/tribute fodder and trigger her effect then your opponent has the opportunity to ash it
Replays do Not cause a redeclaration... Replays are just attack reselection... This is something I had to look up, to confirm... No attack redeclaration no Linkuriboh 0 atk effect.
@@MSTTV ah didn't know there's a difference between redeclaration of Atk and reselection. Lol don't think anyone knows this. I've seen the scenerio come up in feature matches and they all use the linkuriboh to negate after it was ss from the grave.
I have a question, do I get to activate things once my opponent is in battle phase and if I do can my opponent go back to main phase? I've been in this dilema constantly where we're already in battle phase and whenever I activate something in the battle phase my opponent comes back to main phase
@@MSTTV So once they enter Battle Phase, they have priority for effects and then priority is passed to me for effects right? Then if I have nothing to respond with, he can attack?
@@MSTTV can you please reply to this? I had an issue today again in a tournament where my opponent said I can't activate anything in the battle phase unless he performs an action like attacking me first or he can go back to main phase one if I do thay and Judges keep telling me that's how it works.
@@mintychan4883 Correct, There is a start step in a battle phase where both players can activate fast effects before any attacks can be declared. Your judges are probably misinformed too, because they are blindly interpreting the Battle Phase like a main phase.... Main Phase turn player get an immediate open game state., battle phase, you are not in the open until you hit the battle step.
@@mintychan4883 Well the judges are wrong, and they need to look up the start step, battle step and END step of the battle phase. its on the Official yugioh website too... img.yugioh-card.com/en/rulebook/SD_RuleBook_EN_10.pdf on Page 21 of the PDF or (37 on the booklet) ALSO, it is REFERRENCE in the official yugioh article. yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=7219 Your local "judges" need to brush up on their rules.
I think so. They still have effects they can activate since it is still the end of the Battle Phase, and it's just like resolving effects on and off chains during the End Phase I imagine (like Breakthrough vs. Lightsworns or something). This surely seems debatable though because...well, you don't get a *second* end of Battle Phase, do you? But I don't believe resolving chains has any effect on mechanically ending phases.
Both players stay in a phase unless they agree to move on. After an evenly matched has been negated, it is possible to activate another copy in a new chain in the same sub phase.
Monster attack Raye then Raye eff (quick eff) to special summon..(summon sky striker kaina) then eff to neg attack but opponent say no attack goes through 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
Source? You can use the rule book that comes in every structure deck for a simplified version OR Actually Damage step rules: Yugioh-card.com/uk/gameplay/damage.shtml So no I don't think Konami disagrees with me at all.

At 5:16, I'm confused on why you said only 1 attack declaration monster trigger can activate. I just tried the following interaction in EDOPro:
Chain Link 1 Linkuriboh
Chain Link 2 Kunquery

@@MSTTV No, not 2 Kunquery. But 2 different monsters that both trigger from attack declaration, rather. Thank you for going back to this and looking, not a lot of Yugitubers do that!
Gonna keep this video bookmarked for the shaddoll invoked matchup
Yes but at which step are monsters considered to have “battled”? Is that at the start of damage step?
When should you activate quick effects like Gouki Twistcobra? For example:
Your opponent declares an attack on your Suprex. If you activate Twistcobra on declaration/battle step (by tributing Cobra targeting Suprex) they can just choose to not attack.
Could you activate Twistcobra's effect in the Damage Step since it modifies attack/defense? And if you do, can they still decide not to attack?
Basically, can you activate quick effects in the damage step if they change the board state?
I topped OTS and even won some and I still dont fully get this shit.
If the effects of Asymmetaphys (x2) are triggered during the battle phase off of Metaphys Decoy Dragon's effect, the opponent's monster switches positions twice: from attack to defense to attack. The opponent can no longer declare an attack even if it has been switched back to attack position, correct?
Yes, they cannot attack because the atk is canceled the moment it changed to a position it cannot
If there is no attack declaration chain, can you start other chains in the battle step? For example, you declare an attack, your opponent has a set mirror force, you pass priority, they pass back. Can you then activate book of moon on the attack target and they can't chain mirror force?
You can. Mirror Force can only be activated in the initial chain, so if they pass priority once, they can no longer activate it.
Reference: yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Mirror_Force
DAMAGE STEP!!! (may god have mercy on my SOOOUL)
What if you chain " Pathian shot " to " Evenly matched" Does the Effect fizzles out or Resolve even the it is the End phase?
The end of battle phase is just an activation requirement for evenly matched. Even if you shift phases with a card effect it will resolve normally.
Panthian is a counter trap so he wouldn't be able to activate evenly matched in time
@@livingstone1084 in this scenario evenly is CL1
Hi Tom! Really love the video, it really explains In detail the battle phase, I have one quick question though, what if I have a facedown bagooska, attacked by an opponent's monster, let's say Utopia the lightning, when bagooska flips face up its cont. Effect starts applying, in this case neither monster is removed from the filed, but it's already start of damage step, is bagooska destroyed or not? Thank you in advance
Bagooska will be destroyed
What about “if this card battles”, is that phrase considered when said monster is in its damage step? Declaring an attack is before battle correct?
Hey man :)) great vid :)) can I Ask u something, during damage calculation, can atk/def modify trigger spell speed 1 eff be activated ? T4r
Give me a scenario.
What happens if the attack target not longer becomes valid in the Damage Step, like if I used Lost Wind against my opponents directly attacking Hayate at the start of the Damage Step?
Two years late but the atk will still go theough
What about triple burst dragon ? Could he negate the effects of FLIP monsters ?
So which means turn player had priority if both players has effect the activate at the start of the dmg step?
I think turn player does.
Yes, turn player
Dies prioriry mean there card goes off first or that they get to chose?
Good job.. always love too be in your class. Lol
I pause to read that you went to watch that spider man movie... dude that’s awesome! Cuz that movie is awesome as well! Anyways unpause
You said that continuous effects arent applied in performing damage calc, but prevent destruction, for example, Thunder Dragon Colossus, isn't a continuous effect? You said that can use this effect, I think yes too, but i didn't understand this part that you said continuous effect shouldnt be apply
Hey does a weather washer with the 1000 added atk from bow wow bark stop construct add back eff?
The GY effect wont activate because with washer effects can't be activated until the end of the damage step
Do ads count towards the 19 minute total? If so then....I’ve been lied to
So quick effects can only be triggerd during the battle phase? Or anytim
During the battle phase only quick effects, quick like effects and trigger effects (that met their conditions can activate)
Thanks!
Such a good video!
If i attack a linkuriboh of my opponent. At the attack decklaration Timing chain could i use something like mst on a backrow (since i have turn Player priority) forcing linkuriboh to miss his timing since he has a when effect an needs to be chained directly after the attack decklaration?

Question I am a new player: I have a crystal wing synchro dragon and attack a facedown wall of illusion, can I negate the effect and destroy it or the or will it return crystal wing to the extra deck?

Tell your opponent that you want to activate something before they enter the battle phase. (End of main phase)
So does mirrorjades effect destroy bagooska when it gets removed from play
yes it does because Mirrorjade activates in the GY, not from the field

@@MSTTV That's what I thought. Thanks, man.

So can CDI negate effect during the damage step prior to damage calculation? (Ss3)? Eg meluseek eff, honest, limited removal.
So re watching I think I found the answer lol. Answer being no as CDI spell speed is not fast enough.
@@P90Expert136 Not correct. CDI has an activation negation effect, an effect that directly negates the activation of a card or effect, which is one of the effect types that are allowed in the damage step. It has absolutely nothing to do with spell speed.
Ok thank you for the clarification
In the end of battle phases what happens in this example.
My opponent actives evenly match
I chained solemn judgement
My opponent has a second evenly match in his hand.
Can he activate it in a separate chain?
Are we still in the end of the battle phase?
Or did we enter main phase 2 after solemn judgement resolved?
Since both players need to agree and move forward to the next Step, yes he can still actívate a second or third copy of Evenly Matched uf aplicable. Solemn Judgment will not End the End Step
2nd evenly yes
How do I get . Three battle phases ?
I heard you can't ash hayate why is that?
Because Ash Blossom cannot be activated during Damage Calculation as she negates the effect, not the activation
Now that Tombox mentioned the card: I have a question regarding Mind Crush; Do I have to have a card in my hand to activate it for the case that I call wrong or can I activate it without any cards in my hand?
You need at least 1 card in hand to activate mind crush. Mind crush if you have 2 cards in hand you can activate 2 mind crush in the same chain. If you only have 1 card in hand and 2 mind crush, you can only activate one per chain.

we play goat format my friend play double up for machine. i can not activate ring of destruction when he has already double it?
Ya mean Limiter Removal? if so, it's because your friend probably activated it during the Damage Step and Ring of Destruction cannot be activated during that step
So i can activate a malacoda (the ba ritual) in damage step, in damage calc. So i activate him discard farfa to lower the atk of something, but when does my discarded farfa resolv.
...After the battle, I'm guessing.
Malacoda could only be used as late as Substep 2 (Before Damage Calc). After that resolves, Farfa will activate in a new chain in the same Substep (Before Damage Calc). Since BA monsters trigger if they are sent to the graveyard, the phase won't change until you use them or choose not to use them.
Mason Freng thx
Mason Freng so if I do that i can banish a monster in the damage step and no replay occurs?
That is correct. It would be similar to how True Draco Apocolypse works, removing the monster from the field and causing no replay.
Can i attack with 3 monsters on my field and afterwards link summon a 3-link by using those 3 monsters, then attack with the link summon?
Or lets say you have fusion material monsters on the field, you attack with them individually first, then do fusion, and then attack again with the fusion monster.
This confuses me.
You can't do either of those. Normal spell cards like Polymerization and Invocation cannot be activated during the Battle Phase. Most types of Summoning (Normal, Tribute, Pendulum, Xyz, Ritual, Synchro, Link, and some other types of Special Summoning) can also not be done during the BP. Monster effects that are considered Quick effects, Traps, and Quick-play spells like Mask Change, De-Fusion, and Super Polymerization work though
So in regards to Honest (during damage step), can I chain it to a card such as Score the Melodious Diva (during damage calc.)so that Honest resolves first, boosting my atk then Score resolves reducing their atk to 0?
No, Honest says "During the Damage Step", really meaning "In the damage step, but not during damage calculation". A card must state "During Damage Calculation" to be activatable in Damage Calculation, such as Bujingi Crane or Witchcrafter Madame Verre. So, if you're using Honest, you then pass priority to your opponent, then they use Score the Melodious Diva in Damage Calculation, and then your monster, which was boosted by Honest, goes down to 0 ATK.
timaeus22222 sorry I should’ve clarified...if I have both in my hand can I chain them, assuming my opponent can do nothing about it?
@@TheDakotaCruiser No worries, I knew what you meant, I just gave a different chain link example it seems. No, they must go in different chain links because they function in different substeps of the Damage Step.
Can I activate counter traps while performing damage calc?
Yes
So ur saying that if I give my opponent opportunity to respond at beginning and they say No, then I declare an attack and my opponent activates excavation device, they can't do that?
They can, respond. It's just you can declare the attack without being interrupted after they have no response. They can respond after you declare.
For Atk declaration outcomes. What about if the attacking player has the monsters added/subtracted from their field? Does that cause a reselection?
It does not. You just get run over if you attack and they pump up the attack target.
yes, for example your monster declare an attack to a opponent monster meanwhile they control linkuriboh, linkuriboh effect activate so that its longer the field, and the battle restart
Oh, if we're talking affecting what monsters they control (which is not adding/subtracting like ATK/DEF points) then yeah, for sure.
@@YeahTheDuckweed I'm talking about if the person who attacked has the number of monsters changed on their side of the field. Is there a reselection of atk target?
Yeah, Asyam's right.
Than you Rush Duel it way easier wich is cool
Please Help:
Let's say I have Amazoness Princess on the field and Amazoness Baby Tiger in the Grave.
I declare an attack with Princess and activate her effect to special summon a Amazoness monster from deck. The Special Summon is successful. When can I use the trigger effect of the Baby Tiger, which says: _If an 'Amazoness' monster is special summoned..._
Will the attack go on and my Baby Tiger summons after the Damage Step or will he trigger right after the special summon and after his effect, the attack of the Princess continues?
Based on that wording, baby tiger will trigger when the monster summoned by princess is successful, so it's still before you leave the battle step, but don't quote me on it as I HAVE NOT looked up the card text.
@@MSTTV I'm thanking you very much for your fast response! :)
Okay, that's exactly what I was thinking.
So can I activate a second mirror force if my opponent negates my first mirror force with shi en in the same attack declaration?
Yes
hi on the bp u can activate something at the start of bp on bp before getting evenly match?
Well yah battle phase is split into 3 steps. Start Step (when you enter) Battle step (damage step which if you choose to battle and go down that ) and end step (where evenly match occurs), but to Guarantee you can have that timing. You may need to interupt your opponent before they play the card. And your opponent will need to declare end of battle phase.
@@MSTTV thabks the thing is that people on my locals say that u cant play a card before your oponent on the main phase and on the bp
Your locals isn't wrong:
IN the main Phase, the turn player gets first move in the open game state then you follow the fast effect timing chart. If the game state is open then the turn player gets to do the first action.
In the battle phase however: there is the Start Step: Which the turn player gets first quick effect action, then if they don't then it goes to the OPP. If nothing. Then we move on to the battle step: Which is the timing where the attacks are declared. At that timing the turn player can declare an attack and the opposing player can choose to respond. If the turn player attempts to move on to the end step both players must agree to move forward, other wise a SS2 effect can be used at this point. Then the end step. But it is true Turn player gets the first action. But that doesnt mean they can skip any of the steps inbetween.
to Move on from a phase Both players must agree to it. so yah... Open game state turn player gets first action.
@@MSTTV thanks bro the bp is different from that aspect i know
Is lilybell/meluseek during after damage calculation?
Flame King might be a bit late but they both activate the during the damage step (at the end to be more precise)
@@navious9100 that means my oppenent cant negate the search of meluseek with ash blossom?
Yochiro91 as long as meluseek is destroyed by battle (triggering her search effect at the end of the damage step) your opponent cannot use ash blossom on said effect, as ash blossom only negates the effect, not the activation.
Should you however just use meluseek as link /synchro/fusion/tribute fodder and trigger her effect then your opponent has the opportunity to ash it
I am so confused lol
why did he say linkuriboh in grave can't negate the atk? Isn't there a declaration of atk since the monster left?
Replays do Not cause a redeclaration... Replays are just attack reselection... This is something I had to look up, to confirm... No attack redeclaration no Linkuriboh 0 atk effect.
@@MSTTV ah didn't know there's a difference between redeclaration of Atk and reselection. Lol don't think anyone knows this. I've seen the scenerio come up in feature matches and they all use the linkuriboh to negate after it was ss from the grave.
When can you bypass MP2?
If u don't got into battle phase
source?
I have a question, do I get to activate things once my opponent is in battle phase and if I do can my opponent go back to main phase? I've been in this dilema constantly where we're already in battle phase and whenever I activate something in the battle phase my opponent comes back to main phase
If youre in the battle phase then no they cannot go back to main phase 1. They can choose to go to MP2..
@@MSTTV So once they enter Battle Phase, they have priority for effects and then priority is passed to me for effects right? Then if I have nothing to respond with, he can attack?
@@MSTTV can you please reply to this? I had an issue today again in a tournament where my opponent said I can't activate anything in the battle phase unless he performs an action like attacking me first or he can go back to main phase one if I do thay and Judges keep telling me that's how it works.
@@mintychan4883 Correct, There is a start step in a battle phase where both players can activate fast effects before any attacks can be declared.
Your judges are probably misinformed too, because they are blindly interpreting the Battle Phase like a main phase.... Main Phase turn player get an immediate open game state., battle phase, you are not in the open until you hit the battle step.
@@mintychan4883 Well the judges are wrong, and they need to look up the start step, battle step and END step of the battle phase. its on the Official yugioh website too... img.yugioh-card.com/en/rulebook/SD_RuleBook_EN_10.pdf on Page 21 of the PDF or (37 on the booklet)
ALSO, it is REFERRENCE in the official yugioh article. yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=7219
Your local "judges" need to brush up on their rules.
If my opponent activates evenly matched and I negate it, is there a window where they can activate another evenly matched?
I think so. They still have effects they can activate since it is still the end of the Battle Phase, and it's just like resolving effects on and off chains during the End Phase I imagine (like Breakthrough vs. Lightsworns or something).
This surely seems debatable though because...well, you don't get a *second* end of Battle Phase, do you? But I don't believe resolving chains has any effect on mechanically ending phases.
Negate activation or negate effect?
What happens if one or the other?
Both players stay in a phase unless they agree to move on. After an evenly matched has been negated, it is possible to activate another copy in a new chain in the same sub phase.
I see you are a man of good tastes, my fellow traveler :) #baubax
Monster attack Raye then Raye eff (quick eff) to special summon..(summon sky striker kaina) then eff to neg attack but opponent say no attack goes through 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
can you make a profile for pen magicians? especialy the combos its a rly hard deck to learn and some help would be rly cool :)
Tombox if I have respect play or ceremonial Bell on field can my opponent use the danger monsters effects?
They cannot as they reveal as cost and if it can not achieved it can not even activate in hand in danger's case
I have a question, can I activate the effect of Destiny HERO - Dangerous during the damage step?
yes, Before Damage Calculation
Sure, why not?
A local's owner and another player told me I couldn't since the attack gain was a secondary part of the effect.
Sure, but it's still an effect that affects Damage Step.
