Characteristics[edit]
Spell Cards are played in the Spell & Trap Zones, with the exception of the Field Spell Card, which is played in the Field Zone.
Spell Cards can be activated or set from the hand, and, excluding Quick-Play Spell Cards, can be activated in the same turn they are set. Spell Cards, except Quick-Play Spell Cards, can only be activated during their possessor's Main Phase. Quick-Play Spell Cards can be activated during either player's turn while set on the field.
The activation of Spell Cards are Spell Speed 1, with the exception of Quick-Play Spell Cards, which are Spell Speed 2.
At the resolution of its activation, a Spell Card resolves the "primary effect" written as the first sentence of its card text, if it has any.
After activation and resolution, Spell Cards are sent to the Graveyard, with the exception of Continuous, Equip, and Field Spell Cards, which remain face-up on the field.
Secondary effects[edit]
Spell Cards may describe effects that do not apply once on the card's activation, and instead follow their own activation and application parameters.
These effects can be informally categorized based on classifications of monster effects:
- Continuous-like Effect: An effect that continuously applies while the Spell Card is face-up on the field.
- Ignition-like Effect: A Spell Speed 1 activated effect that the player can freely activate in their Main Phase; the activation is Spell Speed 1 even for Quick-Play Spell Cards.
- Trigger-like Effect: A Spell Speed 1 activated effect that the player can activate after certain actions have occurred.
- Unclassified effect
