Phases

Our / opponent’s turn consists of 6 game phases, which we will discuss.

• Draw Phase, which is the phase of drawing a card. Immediately after drawing a card, you move on to the next phase.

• Standby Phase, which is the break phase. Some cards may activate their effects during this phase. You then move on to the next phase.

• Main Phase 1 is the phase in which you have control of the playing field. During this phase you can summon monsters, activate spell cards or set traps.

• Battle Phase is the phase of battle. It is in this phase that the monster battles take place. During the battle phase you can use Quick-Play Spell cards, which are specially marked Spells and Trap cards (but only after waiting 1 turn). If the number of monsters on the field changes, you can cancel the monster attack.

• Main Phase 2 is the last phase, you can do the same as in Main Phase 1. You can summon the monster in Main Phase 2 if we did not do it in the previous Main Phase.

• End Phase. Some cards can activate their effects in this phase. Then you move on to the next turn.
