''See the article on [[Hand Size Limit]] for more information on the maximum number of cards a player can have in their hand during the End Phase.''
During your [[Draw Phase]] after you [[Draw a card|draw a card]] it is added to your hand. The ''hand size limit'' is six, so during your [[End Phase]] if you have more than six cards in your hand, you must [[discard]] cards until you have six cards left. [[Hieroglyph Lithograph]] extends the hand limit to seven cards, while [[Infinite Cards]] removes this limit for both players. There is also no minimum hand size limit. You are not required to hold cards as part of your Hand but are still considered to have a hand.
Certain cards can interact with cards in either yours, your opponents, or both sets of hands. [[Spirit Reaper]] can discard 1 card from your hand as part of it's effect, and [[Exchange]] allows you to swap one card from your hand with one card in your opponent's hand.Some cards such as [[Raigeki Break]] require you to have at least one card in your hand to pay the cost of activation.
