This article lists a variety of '''unofficial terms''' used by players to describe game mechanics and gameplay situations in ''Yu-Gi-Oh!''.
__TOC__
==Terms==
; 3-of
: A card that is considered good to the point where 3 copies of it is always run for that Deck.
; {{anchor|Chain blocking}} Chain blocking
: When multiple [[Spell Speed]] 1 effects [[Simultaneous Effects|simultaneously]] meet their activation conditions, such that they could all be activated during the same [[Chain]], deliberately placing more desirable effects at a lower Chain Link so that the opponent cannot activate other cards in [[response]] to them. (For example, if both "[[Reeshaddoll Wendi]]" and another "Shaddoll" monster activate their effects due to being sent to the Graveyard as [[Fusion Material]], placing "Reeshaddoll Wendi" as Chain Link 1 and the other "Shaddoll" as Chain Link 2 will prevent the opponent from responding to the effect of "Reeshaddoll Wendi" with "[[Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring]]".)
; {{anchor|Chase card}} Chase card
: A card designed with the intention of being desired by players of multiple existing decks, printed in the scarcest possible rarity with the goal of having the most possible consumers "chase" the card for as long and for as many packs as possible.
; {{anchor|Cheat out}} Cheat out
: Special Summoning a [[Special Summon Monster]] using a method other than its standard Summoning procedure. For example, the Main Deck "[[Tri-Brigade]]" monsters are able to "cheat out" Link Monsters by banishing a number of monsters from the Graveyard equal to that Link Monster's Link Rating.
:; {{anchor|Locked into}} Locked into / {{anchor|Xeno-lock}} Xeno-lock
:: Becoming affected by card effects or conditions that prevent the player from using/Summoning cards outside of a specific category. Common restrictions including being unable to summon monsters of all but one type/attribute, or being unable to summon monsters outside of an archetype.
