* '''Extender'''{{anchor|Extender}} - Cards that can be combined with others in order to further extend the player's combos, usually allowing the Summoning of more and/or better monsters. However, they tend to lack the ability to achieve much if used without other cards. An example of an extender is "[[Parallel eXceed]]", which does nothing to start combos, but after a Link Summon, it can Special Summon itself from the hand, as well as another copy of itself from the Deck, to continue Link-based plays or be used for a Rank 4 Xyz Summon (as a "Parallel eXceed" Summoned by either of its effects becomes Level 4).
* '''Filter'''{{anchor|Filter}} - In ''Rush Duel'', cards that make the player send 1 card (typically a monster of a specific Type) from their hand to the Graveyard to draw 1 card from their Deck.
* '''Fizzle'''{{anchor|Fizzle}} - [[Resolve|Resolving]] without effect. For example, if "[[Monster Reborn]]" is activated, but the targeted monster is subsequently removed from the Graveyard before resolution, the effect resolves with no effect.
** '''Dodge'''{{anchor|Dodge}} - Player intentionally remove their own card on the field to avoid opponent's activated effects (typically a negation effect which [[Target]] the player's card on the field), so that their own card's effect would resolve properly. For example, if opponent activates the negation effect of "[[D/D/D Cursed King Siegfried]]" in response to the player's non-Continuous Spell/Trap activation, player can [[Chain]] "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" to destroy the targeted card to cause the negation effect to resolve with no effect.
* '''Floater'''{{anchor|Floater}} - A monster with an effect that replaces itself when it leaves the field. For example, "[[Denglong, First of the Yang Zing]]" Special Summons a monster when it leaves the field (no field advantage is lost).
** '''Float'''{{anchor|Float}} - Special Summoning another monster with the effect of a floater.
* '''Floodgate'''{{anchor|Floodgate}} - A card with a continuous effect that restricts one or both players from performing certain actions. For example, "[[Summon Limit]]" prevents both players from Summoning for the rest of the turn they have already summoned two times that turn.
** '''Monkeflip'''{{anchor|Monkeflip}} - A derogatory nickname given to floodgate cards (usually one-sided ones with lingering effects) that are relatively easy to setup in its Deck, and can completely lock the opponent from doing anything unless they managed to immediately find an out to it or prevent its activation in the first place.
* '''Fodder'''{{anchor|Fodder}} - A card that is used solely as a [[Tribute]], [[material]] or for [[cost]]s.
* '''Foolish'''{{anchor|Foolish}} / '''Dump'''{{anchor|Dump}} - A card that sends a specific card from the Deck to the Graveyard, in reference to "[[Foolish Burial]]".
