Targeting
When using a card that targets, you must declare the target(s) before players are allowed to chain to the effect. The target's locations is always specified. It can be the field, Graveyard, or the Banished Zone. There are no cards that would target a card(s) in the hand, Main Deck, or Extra Deck.
There are also cards that generally use the term "card(s)", and cards that specify if the card in question is a Monster, Spell or Trap, as well as cards that specify more what the Type of the Monster, Spell or Trap card is.
If the card's text says "target", then the effect almost always targets. If the card's text says "select", or "designate" then the effect usually targets, although there are some exceptions. When in doubt, check the card's rulings to see whether or not it targets. The introduction of Problem-Solving Card Text made all card effects that target, except Equip Spell Cards, specifically use the word "target" in their card text.
- Example: Player A activates "Raigeki Break" and targets Player B's "Number 39: Utopia". No card is chained, thus Utopia is destroyed and its Xyz Materials (if any) are sent to the Graveyard, and then "Rageki Break" is sent to the Graveyard.
While targeting usually allows the player to make choices, some cards that do target do so without the player's input. Such cards include "Magic Cylinder", "Sakuretsu Armor", and "Dimensional Prison".
- Example: Player A controls "Darkness Neosphere" and "Dark Highlander", and attacks Player B directly with "Darkness Neosphere". Player B activates "Magic Cylinder". At this time, "Magic Cylinder" automatically targets "Darkness Neosphere" and the Player B doesn't have to say what card he/she targets.
Cards like "Dark Hole", "Mirror Force", "Lightning Vortex" and "Raigeki" do target but massively so cards like Kozmo ships and other cards like that can't be destroyed.
