* '''[[Hand trap]]s'''{{anchor|Hand trap}} - Cards (usually monsters) with effects that can be activated from the hand on the opponent's turn. Some famous hand traps in the metagame's history include "[[Effect Veiler]]", "[[D.D. Crow]]", "[[Maxx "C"]]", "[[Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring]]", and "[[Nibiru, the Primal Being]]".

* '''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.

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.
