Forum:Once per turn

Can I use once per turn effect if my opponent use bottomless to my monster???Daredevil^^ 13:28, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Yes..if your monster is summoned in your turn..--Leonhartzz 14:15, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

During your Main Phase, after you successfully Summon a monster, you (the Turn Player) can respond to the Summon before your opponent can. So, you can activate your monster's effect before the opponent can activate his card. Your opponent can't do anything until you either activate something, or pass.

If your opponent activates his card without giving you the chance to {activate something/pass}, then he's playing improperly. You "rewind" the Duel (he puts his card back face-down), and you get the chance to do {activate something/pass} now.

you can only use once per turn effects on your turn like sea koala can only be used on your turn — This unsigned comment was made by 99.247.153.236 (talk • contribs)

Once per turn can also include in your opponent's turn, unless if it specifies what turn you can activate the card's effect. — This unsigned comment was made by 98.154.24.162 (talk • contribs) 18:48, May 12, 2010

unless it's a continuous effect or it specifically says you can use it on your opponent's turn, you can only use "once per turn" effects on your turn. Thorn of RosenYubel 20:01, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

In reply to Deus Ex Machina

Does the turn priority include things such as trap hole? Such as I normal summon Dark Red Enchanter, can I then activate his effect to remove the two tokens he gets from being summoned and have him discard a card before trap hole destroys it or does this only work for monsters already out? Also, similar to once per turn, if I summoned a Breaker The Magical Warrior, could I activate its effect after normal summoning if my opponent was using trap hole on it? I assume the above work against compulsory evacuation device as the card does not work on the summon but at choice of the user but I'd like to know if it actually would.

Priority ensures that the Turn Player gets to activate his/her effect as Chain Link 1. However, if there is an effect that is triggered, that effect must be the only effect on Chain Link 1. If the monster that you summoned has additional effects, you would have to wait for the initial chain to resolve before activating any other effects.

For example, Dark Red Enchanter has the effect "When this card is Summoned, place 2 Spell Counters on it.". Let's say you summon it an your opponent chains Trap Hole. Since you, the Turn Player have priority, you get to ensure that the effect of Dark Red Enchanter is Chain Link 1. However, the aforementioned effect is a mandatory trigger effect that activates as soon as it is summoned, this will be the effect at Chain Link 1. The chain will be formed:

Chain Link 1: The "When this card is Summoned, place 2 Spell Counters on it." effect of Dark Red Enchanter activates.

Chain Link 2: Trap Hole is activated in response to the summon.

Resolve the chain in reverse:

Chain Link 2: Trap Hole destroys Dark Red Enchanter .

Chain Link 1: Dark Red Enchanter is already destroyed so it resolve without effect.

This scenario is also the same for when Breaker the Magical Warrior is summoned.

Furthermore, there is no difference if you swap Trap Hole for Compulsory Evacuation Device--Hide Head Turtle 04:45, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Is once per turn anytime during the turn or only in the main phase? and would any of BRD's effects work if endless was played on it?--The Black Rose Rider 17:53, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

If it is an Ignition effect, then you can only use it in the Main Phase unless the card says something else.Jensc (talk • contribs) 18:12, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Wait, so if I Summon a The Six Samurai - Kamon while having another Six Samurai monster on my side of the field, I can activate Kamon's effect, and then my opponent chains it to Bottomless?--99.189.199.164 (talk) 18:20, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you as the Turn Player can use Priority to activate the Ignition effect of Kamon and ensure that it is Chain Link 1 in the Chain. Then your opponent is free to chain Bottomless Trap Hole.-- HHTurtle  (Talk) 03:22, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

when I summon a monster, can I active another once per turn effect monster first before opponent use bottomless??Daredevil^^ (talk • contribs) 05:17, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

No. the "once per turn" is an ignition effect so it's spell speed one so it will have to be a new chain when the first one was a chain to the summoning and bottomless is of that chain--The Black Rose Rider 06:14, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you can do that. Monsters don't have Priority. Turn Players do. Priority means that the Turn Player is always able to activate his/her effect as Chain Link 1. It doesn't have to be the monster that is summoned. Let's say you just summoned Black Rose Dragon. You can activate the effect of another monster like Card Trooper instead of BRDragon's. Then you pass Priority to the opponent and he/she chains Bottomless Trap Hole.-- HHTurtle  (Talk) 07:05, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Note: That is, assuming you choose not to nuke the field with BRD. Falzar FZ (talk • contribs) 07:11, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

I already said that.-- HHTurtle  (Talk) 07:23, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

On first glance, I thought you were referring to activating BRDs Ignition Effect. ok then. Falzar FZ (talk • contribs) 07:27, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

So if Isummon BRD and i wanna nuke the field and my opponent activates endless. does BRD go out of the game abd the field still goes or what?--The Black Rose Rider 07:30, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

If you mean Bottomless when you say Endless, then Yes. Bottomless will Resolve first, then Black Rose Dragon will 'nuke' what's left of the field. Falzar FZ (talk • contribs) 07:33, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Wait, so I can activate Kamon's "once per turn" effect when it's Summoned, or only after both players pass on activating cards countering to its Summon?--Yugioh DED (talk • contribs) 00:20, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

when it is summoned. Of course you can also wait but if your opponent activates (bottomless) trap hohle it is too late for you to activate the effect. -dest- (talk • contribs) 02:37, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

opponents once per turn monsters

can your opponent use his/her once per turn monsters effect on your turn?

Unless the card says otherwise, Once per turn means "Once per turn, during the controlling players Main phase 1 or 2."-Resk (talk • contribs)

My turn

So can my opponent use gale's effect to half my creature's attack on my turn? Or like chaos sorcerer or maybe scrap dragon. Cause it did not specify on who's turn. I get confuse coz some people say can some say cannot

Ignition Monster Effect. Read and answer yourself, nothing other is all of their effects. -dest- (talk • contribs) 17:01, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

As said uh... 3. Lines. Above. "Unless the card says otherwise, Once per turn means "Once per turn, during the controlling players Main phase 1 or 2.""-Resk (Talk) 10:03, March 15, 2011 (UTC)
