Alright. Myroc made a MTG Thread, and I've been meaning to do this for a while.
So...Here! Yu-Gi-Oh Thread
F.A.Q. Goes Heah!
1. What is Yu-Gi-Oh?Yu-Gi-Oh Is Perhaps the Most Successful trading card game ever. Starting in 1996 as a Manga, Yu-Gi-Oh (Japanese for "King of Games") Is a Highly Intricate card game.
Interesting. How To?Each Player has a deck of 40-60 Cards, and an optional Spare deck Called an "Extra deck", Which Holds XYZ, Synchro, and Fusion Monsters.
Both Players start with 4000-8000 Life points, with the goal being To get the opponent's LP To 0. This is done with The Cards. Each Player starts with a 5 Card hand, and draws a new card each turn.
MonstersMonster cards are either Bright
Yellow or
Orange. The Colors determine What They Are. Also, There are
Blue ritual Monsters, and the Monsters in the Extra deck, White Synchros,
Black XYZs, and
Dark Purple Fusions. Normal Monsters Can be any from the extra deck, or The bright yellow Cards. They are usually high attack, and nothing else. The Effect Monsters, are mostly the same, but The Orange ones. They have special abilities to do different things, Such as damage, self Attack Increase, or Even WIN THE GAME.
Attack and Defence are The Most important things about a monster. A Battle Goes as such.
If Attack>Attack, The Opposing monster is destroyed, and they take Damage to their LP Equal to the Difference.
If Attack=Attack, Both Monsters are destroyed, no one takes damage.
If Attack<Attack, YOUR Monster is destroyed, You take the damage.
If Attack>Defence, The opposing monster is destroyed, No-One Takes Damage
If attack<Defence, You Take Damage, Neither monster is Destroyed.
Summoning monsters comes in 3 Flavors. Normal Summoning, Setting, and Special Summoning. Normal Summoning Can Be Done once per turn. Setting IS the same, But You Cannot Set and normal summon in the same turn, and vice versa. Special summoning is summoning by a Card effect, and can be done as many times as possible per turn. XYZ summoning, Synchro summoning, And fusion summoning all Count as Special Summoning. Fusion summoning is done With Specific cards, Usually "Polymerization", and requires 2 or more Specific monsters. Synchro summoning requires A "Tuner" Monster, Which you can tell by it saying "Tuner" Instead of Effect, and a Non Tuner, With Some exceptions. XYZ Summoning Requires 2 or more of the same level, (The Amount of Stars), Overlayed on each other, instead of being sent to the Graveyard.
Spells And TrapsSpells And Traps are cards that Do Different things, like effect monsters, but more Potent.
Spell Cards Can Be Activated from your hand during your turn, and ONLY Then, (Aside From Quick Play Spells) and Can also be played Face down.
Trap Cards Must Be Set before activated, and Mostly played during your opponent's Turn. There are different kinds of Spells and Traps.
For both of them, There are Normal Spells/Traps, which follow the Normal Rules, and Continuous spells/traps, which Remain on the Field until Manually Destroyed.
For Spells only, There are quick play spells, Which are played face down, or from your hand during Your or your opponents Turn. Field Cards are in their own area, and boost The Attack/Defence of A Specific type of monster, or have other Effects. Equip Cards are applied to a specific monster and Usually Boost it's Attack Or Defence. And Ritual Spells are used to Special Summon Ritual Monsters. For Traps, the only Special Type is the counter Trap, which can not be countered, except by another Counter Trap.
Sets of cards are typically released monstly, With The Most Recent One Being
The Battle Pack: Epic Dawn. If you have any other Questions, Feel Free to ask.
