Chaining to your own Cards

You can chain to your own cards (example: chain "Backup Soldier" to "Backup Soldier") even if your opponent doesn't have any "intermediate" steps.

Example #1:

• Player A attacks.
• Player B activates "Enchanted Javelin".
• Player A does not respond.
• Player B chains another "Enchanted Javelin".

Example #2:

• Player A attacks.
• Player B activates "Gravity Bind".
• Player A does not respond.
• Player B chains "Enchanted Javelin".

Example #3:

• Player A attacks.
• Player B activates "Mirror Force".
• Player A does not respond.
• Player B chains "Magic Cylinder".

Example #4:

• Player A Summons a monster.
• Player B activates "Trap Hole".
• Player A does not respond.
• Player B chains "Chain Destruction" to "Trap Hole".

Example #5:

• Player A activates "Ring of Destruction".
• Player B does not respond.
• Player A chains "Barrel Behind the Door" to "Ring of Destruction".

These are all legal moves.

Remember that a Counter Trap can only be chained to negate the step immediately preceding its activation.

Example #6:

• Player A activates "Ring of Destruction".
• Player B chains "Waboku".
• Player A cannot chain "Barrel Behind the Door" to "Ring of Destruction" because "Ring of Destruction" was not the immediately preceding step of the chain.
