| − | A '''Chain''' is what happens when several card effects are trying to happen at the same time. By building a chain, you can more easily determine how the effects resolve.
| + | #REDIRECT [[Chain]] |
| − | | |
| − | '''Activation''' is when you declare an intent to use a card: [[flip]]ping a [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] [[face-up]], announcing that you are using a [[Monster Cards|monster]]'s effect, [[flip]]ping a [[face-down]] [[Spell Cards|Spell Card]], and playing a [[Spell Cards|Spell Card]] from your [[hand]] are all examples of activation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Resolution''' is when you carry out the effects of a card.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When you chain multiple [[Spell Cards|Spell]]/[[Trap Cards]] together, their activation (intent to use the card) is declared, one after the other. But no cards have resolution until nobody wishes to chain (activate) more [[Spell Cards|Spell]]/[[Trap Cards]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | A simple 2-card chain works like this:
| |
| − | * Step 1 is activated ([[Spell Cards|Spell Card]] played, [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] [[flip]]ped [[face-up]], etc.).
| |
| − | * Step 2 is chained to Step 1 (activated).
| |
| − | (neither player wishes to chain additional cards)
| |
| − | (resolve in reverse order)
| |
| − | * Step 2 Resolves.
| |
| − | * Step 1 Resolves.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In a 3-card chain:
| |
| − | * Step 1 is activated.
| |
| − | * Step 2 is activated.
| |
| − | * Step 3 is activated.
| |
| − | (neither player wishes to chain additional cards)
| |
| − | (resolve in reverse order)
| |
| − | * Step 3 resolves.
| |
| − | * Step 2 resolves.
| |
| − | * Step 1 resolves.

| − | Note on terminology: Some [[Continuous Trap Cards]] have effects that can be re-used, such as "[[Ultimate Offering]]", "[[Skull Lair]]", etc. To "activate" these [[Trap Cards]] is to [[flip]] the [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] from [[face-down]] to [[face-up]], just like with any other [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]]. Once the card is activated, you may "use" the card, or "use its effect", or "activate the effect." These are all synonymous terms but are different from activation of the card (which still means [[flip]]ping the [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] [[face-up]]). The "use" of a [[Continuous Trap Cards|Continuous Trap Card]]'s effect (which has a [[Spell Speed 2|Spell Speed of 2]]) can be chained and can be chained to. You CAN activate ([[flip]] [[face-up]]) a [[Continuous Trap Cards|Continuous Trap Card]] and also use its effect in the same chain.<ref>[http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/gameplay/faqs/advancedgameplay/ UDE FAQ]: Game Play</ref>

| − | IMPORTANT: When resolving a chain, as the cards resolve they are NOT sent to the [[Graveyard]] until the entire chain has resolved, or a card specifically [[destroy]]s them. This is important for cards such as "[[Princess of Tsurugi]]" and "[[Secret Barrel]]" where the effect depends on the number of [[Spell Cards|Spell]] & [[Trap Cards]] on the [[Playing Field|field]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Example #1:
| |
| − | ** Step 1: Player A [[Flip Summon]]s "[[Princess of Tsurugi]]."
| |
| − | ** Step 2: Player B chains "[[Barrel Behind the Door]]" to the effect.
| |
| − | Because "[[Barrel Behind the Door]]" remains on the [[Playing Field|field]] until the chain resolves, Player A takes 500 points of [[damage]] (1 [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] on the opponent's side of the [[Playing Field|field]]) from "[[Princess of Tsurugi]]'s" [[Flip Effect Monsters|Flip Effect]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Example #2:
| |
| − | ** Step 1: Player A [[Flip Summon]]s "[[Princess of Tsurugi]]."
| |
| − | ** Step 2: Player B chains "[[Barrel Behind the Door]]" to the effect.
| |
| − | ** Step 3: Player A chains "[[Seven Tools of the Bandit]]" to "[[Barrel Behind the Door]]."
| |
| − | "[[Seven Tools of the Bandit]]" resolves first, and destroys "[[Barrel Behind the Door]]", which is sent to the [[Graveyard]] immediately. "[[Princess of Tsurugi]]" does zero [[damage]] to Player B because Player B has no [[Spell Cards|Spell]] or [[Trap Cards]] remaining on the [[Playing Field|field]] since "[[Barrel Behind the Door]]" was [[destroy]]ed and sent to the [[Graveyard]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Example #3:
| |
| − | ** Step 1: Player A activates "[[Secret Barrel]]."
| |
| − | ** Step 2: Player B chains "[[Ring of Destruction]]", her only card on the [[Playing Field|field]] or in her [[hand]].
| |
| − | Even though "[[Ring of Destruction]]" resolves first, "[[Secret Barrel]]" still does 200 [[damage]] to Player B because "[[Ring of Destruction]]" is on the [[Playing Field|field]] when "[[Secret Barrel]]" resolves.
