A '''One Turn Kill''' (OTK) (Japanese: {{Ruby|ＯＴＫ|ワンターンキル}} ''WantānkiruWantān Kiru'') is achieved when a player wins a [[Duel]] in the space of a single [[turn]]

In one turn, all of the opponent's [[Life PointsLP]], which is normally assumed to be no less than 8000, must be depleted, or an alternate [[victory condition]] must be fulfilled. This is usually done when the player has the appropriate cards in their [[hand]]/[[Graveyard]] and has [[control]] over the duel.

[[Traditional Format|Traditional]] and [[Advanced Format]]s will have very different OTK styles, owing to the allowable [[Card Poolcard pool]]s. The Advanced Format banlist is updated every six months to reduce the viability of OTKs.
