Order of a turn.

After the Battle Phase, the Turn Player enters Main Phase 2 (メインフェイズ２ Meinfeizu Ni; Chinese: 主要階段２). In this Phase, any action that could normally be performed in Main Phase 1 can occur, as long as the requirements are met (i.e. no more than 1 Normal Summon or Set).

In Main Phase 2, the Turn Player may:

• Normal Summon, Tribute Summon, or Set a monster if you have not already done so in Main Phase 1.
• Special Summon a monster(s).
• Manually change the Battle Position of a monster, provided that monster did not declare an attack during the Battle Phase, and provided that it was not Set, Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned this turn.
• Perform a Flip Summon on a Monster Card, provided it was not Set or Summoned in Main Phase 1.
• Activate effects, such as those of "Barrel Dragon" or "Blowback Dragon" if they have not been activated in Main Phase 1.
• Activate effects like "Cannon Soldier's" effect that can only be activated during the Main Phase, but can be used more than once per turn.
• Activate or Set Spell and/or Trap Cards of any speed. Quick-Play Spell Cards and Trap Cards cannot be activated in the turn they are Set.

If a particular monster wasn't Summoned this turn, the Turn Player can flip it face-down using its effect (such as with "Guardian Sphinx" or "Swarm of Scarabs"), and then perform a manual Flip Summon on it, since the rules state that one manual Battle Position change may be performed per turn.

The only cards available to skip this phase are "Flashbang", "Terminal World" and "Cardcar D".
