* '''Hard counter'''{{anchor|Hard counter}} - Cards or theme that were capable of of stopping specific strategy that would leave the opponent at a severe disadvantage or stop any of their possible play entirely. For example, various [[Pendulum Summon]]ing-related strategy can be countered with the card "[[Anti-Spell Fragrance]]" which prevents any [[Pendulum Scale]] from being placed in the [[Pendulum Zone]] and thus shut down the strategy entirely.
* '''Hard draw'''{{anchor|Hard draw}} - Cards that cannot be searched from the deck and are thus reliant on the player drawing into it to be in the hand.
* '''Hard once per turn'''{{anchor|Hard once per turn}} - A card effect(s) that can be used specified as being usable "[[Only once per turn|only once per turn]] shared " for "[effect] of [card name]", i.e. once among these cards with the same original name controlled by all copies of that card in the player's possession. For example, if player has two copies of "[[Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring]]" on their hand, only one of these can be used in a single turn due to the effect's condition.** '''Soft once per turn'''{{anchor|Soft once per turn}} - A card effect(s) that can be used specified as being usable "[[Only once Once per turn|only once per turn]] ", i.e. once per each copies face-up copy of that face up card on the player's side of the field. For example, if player has two copies of "[[Baronne de Fleur]]" on the field, they can active the destruction effect of "Baronne" once per turn per each face up copies on the field, but they can only activate the negation effect of a single copy of "Baronne" once per turn due to the "hard once per turn" restriction.
* '''Hard summon'''{{anchor|Hard summon}} - Summoning a monster from the extra deck (usually [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]] or [[Xyz Monster]]) using the default summoning requirements instead of an alternate and usually easier requirements listed on the card. For example, player summoned "[[Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder]]" using two [[Level 12 Monster Cards|Level 12]] Monsters as a material instead of its alternate summoning condition that requires any Xyz monster player control as a material after any Xyz monster battled that turn.
* '''Highlander clause'''{{anchor|Highlander clause|Highlander Clause}} - A card that [[Field-Unique|prevents the player controlling more than 1 copy of it]], or that [[Control only one|prevents either player controlling more than one copy]] of it. The term references the film [[wikipedia:Highlander (film)|Highlander]] and its tagline, ''There can be only one''.
