To '''pay''' (Japanese: {{ruby|払|はら}}う ''Harau'') is to give up [[Life Point|LP]] for a [[card effect]] or [[cost]]. Typically, paying LP is a cost, although some cards involve [[Pays Life Points for effect|paying LP for an effect]].

To '''pay''' (Japanese: {{ruby|払|はら}}う ''Harau''; Chinese: 支付 ''Zhīfù'') is to give up [[Life Point]]s for a [[card effect]] or [[cost]]. In most cases, paying Life Points is a cost; however, "[[Gishki Photomirror]]" and "[[Number 44: Sky Pegasus]]" causes the player and allows the opponent to [[Pays Life Points for effect|pay Life Points for an effect]], respectively.
  
A player cannot pay more LP than they have left. If paying LP is a requirement to activate a card or effect and the player cannot, that card or effect cannot be activated. If paying LP is part of a [[maintenance cost]] and the player cannot, that card is destroyed (even if the payment is mandatory).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C |title=Individual Card Rulings [A-C&#93;  |publisher=UDE  |at=Archfiends |accessdate=26 January 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090217182013/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C  |archivedate=17 February 2009}}</ref> "[[Destructive Draw]]" is the only exception to this rule, which states in its [[card text]] that if its [[control]]ler cannot pay its maintenance cost, instead that player's Life Points become 0.
+
"[[Spell Economics]]" allows the player to activate [[Spell Card]]s that normally require Life Points to be [[Pays Life Points for cost|paid as a cost]], such as "[[Dimension Fusion]]" and "[[Brain Control]]", without paying those Life Points.
  
In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]'', a player can pay LP equal to their current LP.<ref>{{cite book  |author=Konami  |title=Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game - Perfect Rulebook 2015 |url=https://ygorganization.com/perfectrulebook/ |page=39}}</ref> As such, if a mandatory maintenance cost (such as that of "[[Terrorking Archfiend]]") requires the player to pay the exact amount of LP they have remaining, that cost must be paid and that player loses the Duel.
+
Paying Life Points is distinct from taking [[damage]]. Whereas if a player takes damage that reduces their Life Points to 0 they lose the duel, if paying Life Points would reduce their Life Points to 0, they instead cannot perform the action that requires that payment.
  
"[[Spell Economics]]" allows the player to activate [[Spell Card]]s that normally require Life Points to be [[Pays Life Points for cost|paid as a cost]], such as "[[Dimension Fusion]]" and "[[Brain Control]]", without paying those Life Points.
+
If a player cannot or does not pay for the [[maintenance cost]] of a card, such as "[[Terrorking Archfiend]]", then that card is [[destroy]]ed (but not by a [[card effect]]); if a card forces the opponent to also pay a maintenance cost, such as "[[Battle-Scarred]]", if the opponent cannot pay the Maintenance Cost and the [[control]]ler of the target can, the opponent's Life Points remain unchanged, but the controller has to pay and it is not destroyed.
 +
 
 +
"[[Destructive Draw]]" is the exception to both the aforementioned rules. If its controller cannot pay its maintenance cost, instead that player's Life Points become 0.
