Hand
,What happens in Draw and End Phases
A Hand in Duel Monsters is the pool of cards, quite literally, in your hand, either during your turn, or during your opponent's.
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.
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.
