As of Power of the Duelist, UDE began simplifying many of the previously standardized effect descriptions.
- Inflict X points of damage to your opponent's Life Points ➨ Inflict X damage to your opponent.
- Increase your Life Points by X points ➨ Gain X Life Points ➨ Gain X LP.
- Attack your opponent's Life Points directly ➨ Attack your opponent directly.
- A card with "X" in its card name ➨ A/An "X" card.
- You can only activate this card when ➨ Activate only when.
- On your side of the field ➨ you control
- Tribute 1 monster on your side of the field ➨ Tribute 1 monster
- Special Summon "X" to your side of the field ➨ Special Summon
After UDE
The concept of simplified effect text was expanded upon when UDE were forced to hand over control of the TCG back to Konami. Konami introduced Problem-Solving Card Text, to further help players understand card effects with a lesser need to rely on card rulings.
