Card Rarity http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Rarity This is a Spell Speed 1 Spell Card that stays on the field once it is activated. Spell Ruler, previously known as Magic Ruler, was the first TCG Booster Pack that contained Continuous Spell Cards. Continuous Spell Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Continuous_Spell_Card Continuous Traps are Trap Cards that stay on the field after activation. The effect(s) of these cards will remain active until the owner cannot maintain the cost or condition(s) indicated on the card (if any) OR it is destroyed. One example of a Continuous Trap Card is "Spellbinding Circle", which effectively freezes an enemy monster on the field, so it can neither change battle position nor declare an attack. Continuous Trap Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Continuous_Trap_Card Counter Trap Cards are a Spell Speed 3. Only other Counter Trap Cards can be chained to a Counter Trap Card Counter Trap Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Counter_Trap_Card A pile of cards that a Duelist can draw from during play. Each Duelist uses his or her own Main Deck in a Duel. Deck http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Deck A Duel is a single game between 2 opposing players or teams, they Duel each other using a variety of Monster, Spell, and Trap Cards to defeat their opponent and win the game. Duel http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Duel A Duelist or a Player is anyone participating in a Duel. Duelist http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Duelist This is a Spell Card that is a card that is equipped to a face-up monster on the field. Equip Spell Cards are type of Equip Card; Equip Cards can either be Equip Spell Cards or Trap Cards that are treated as Equip Cards. Equip Spell Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Equip_Spell_card Field Spells have the advantage of being able to change the entire state of play for its controller's or for both players' side of the field. They are Spell Speed 1 and are placed on the Field Zone, apart from the Spell & Trap Zones. Field Spell Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Field_Spell_Card A Match is a best-of-three set of Duels. The first Duelist to win two Duels is declared the winner of the Match. If a Duelist loses two Duels, they are considered to have lost the Match. If both Duelists have one loss in a Match and both receive a simultaneous Game Loss penalty, the Match is considered a Double Loss. Match http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Match Classification of Effect Monster Cards. Abilities are listed in the same line as a monster's Type, separated by a slash (but are not the only classification that can be listed this way) Monster Ability http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ability Attributes are essentially the "elemental" groups for each Monster Card. There are different cards made to support each "element", and there are popular monsters of each kind. It is possible for a monster to be considered part of multiple Attributes via a card effect, such the effect of "Elemental Mistress Doriado". Monster Attribute http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Attribute Monster cards represent monsters that players battle against each other or directly against either player during the Battle Phase. Monsters are the main focus of Duel Monsters. Monster Cards are differentiated by their names, Type; Attribute; ATK; DEF; Level (or Rank or Link Rating). Monster Cards can be subdivided into Normal Monsters, Effect Monsters, Ritual Monsters, Fusion Monsters, Synchro Monsters, Xyz Monsters, Pendulum Monsters, Link Monsters and Token Monsters, each with a distinctive colored card frame to differentiate them. Monster Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Monster_Card Monster Cards can be subdivided into Normal Monsters, Effect Monsters, Ritual Monsters, Fusion Monsters, Synchro Monsters, Xyz Monsters, Pendulum Monsters, Link Monsters and Token Monsters, each with a distinctive colored card frame to differentiate them. Monster Category http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Monster_Card This is a characteristic of a Monster Card. All monsters have one Type, such that monsters of the same Type can be grouped together (in a similar way to Attributes) and support cards can grant various effects to a specific Type of monster. Monster Type http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Type This is a Spell Speed 1 Spell Card, so it cannot chain to other effects, even those of other Normal Spell Cards, but can be chained to by Spell Speed 2 or Spell Speed 3 cards. Normal Spell Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Normal_Spell_Card Normal Traps are Spell Speed 2. They can be activated during either player's turn as long as it wasn't set that turn. The effects of certain Normal Trap Cards behave like Equip Cards, but the card is still considered a Normal Trap Card. Normal Trap Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Normal_Trap_Card Quick-play Spells are a type of Spell Card that are Spell Speed 2. The turn player can activate Quick-Play Spell Cards from their hand during any Phase of their turn; either player can activate Set Quick-Play Spell cards during any Phase in either player's turn, except during the turn they are Set. Quick-Play Spell Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Quick-Play_Spell_Card Ritual Spells are a type of Spell Card used to Ritual Summon Ritual Monsters. Ritual Spell Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ritual_Spell_Card Spell cards are cards with green-colored borders that have various effects to alter the play of the game. Often, a Spell Card has a single effect to provide a bonus to the user or a weakness to the opponent. Unlike Trap Cards, Spell Cards have the advantage of being able to be played without having to be Set first. Spell Cards, except Quick-Play Spell Cards, may be activated during the same turn it was Set. Spell Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Spell_Card A Tournament is an event where Duelists of varying skill and ability gather, to determine who ranks the best amongst them. There are two primary levels of Tournaments: Tournament http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Tournament Tourmaments utilize one of these two formats: Traditional Format Advanced Format Tournament Format Tournaments can appear on several levels. usually based on its size and location. Tournament Level Trap cards are cards with purple-colored borders that have various effects. A Trap Card must first be Set and can only be activated after the current turn has finished. After that, it may be activated during either player's turn. Trap Cards are Spell Speed 2, with the exception of Counter Trap Cards, which are Spell Speed 3. Trap Card http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Trap_Card A place at which a tournament is held. Bigger events require bigger Venues. Venue In the TCG, the Advanced Format is the official format used at Regional, National, and World Championship Events. The Advanced Format includes the Forbidden List, the Limited List, and the Semi-Limited List. Advanced Format http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Advanced_Format This card can be used to Ritual Summon any 1 Ritual Monster. You must also send Normal Monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard whose total Levels equal the Level of that Ritual Monster. Advanced Ritual Art Advanced Ritual Art Aqua http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Aqua Beast http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Beast Beast-Warrior http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Beast-Warrior Beta Format, also referred to as Special Format in early descriptions, is a format that was used at some Win-A-Mat events. Introduced at YCS Chicago (April 10-12, 2015), it incorporates the Advanced Format with additional restrictions on Summons. As of January 24, 2016 (at the latest), it is no longer being used at big events due to lack of interest. This format makes a comeback in the 2017 WCQ: European Championship. Beta Format http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Beta_Format 2500 2100 Mage suprême en termes d'attaque et de défense. The ultimate wizard in terms of attack and defense.

It contains 9 Booster Packs of the set, a Beginner's guide, 2 Ultra Rare versions of Common or Rare cards from the set, 1 pack of 50 card sleeves, and 1 of 2 Super Rare preview cards from the next set. All promo cards are Limited Edition. Delux Edition http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Delux_Edition Dinosaur http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Dinosaur Divine http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Divine A Draft Format is where players sit at tables in groups of 4-8, depending on the number participating, with their unopened booster packs on the table. Then when told to by the Tournament Organizer, each player picks up 1 of their booster packs and opens it, then takes 1 of the cards and sets it face-down in front of them to start a pile. After that, they pass the remaining cards to the left or right, dictated by the Tournament organizer. This continues until all 9 cards from each pack has been selected and no more cards are being passed around, then each player opens the next pack and repeats, passing the cards in the opposite direction. Once all packs have been used up, players separate to construct Decks with a minimum of 20 using the cards they've selected. Draft Format http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Draft_Format Duel Terminal Edition cards are dispensed exclusively from "Duel Terminal" arcade machines. They are identified by having "DUEL TERMINAL" printed where the card's edition would be. This indicates that the card is compatible with the "Duel Terminal"; only Duel Terminal Edition cards can be used at "Duel Terminals". Duel Terminal Edition cards also have a nearly invisible QR code printed in the back center of the card. Duel Terminal Edition http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Duel_Terminal_Edition A small tournament held at the local level (town, city, etc.) Duelist League http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Duelist_League Earth http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Earth Effect Monster http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Effect_Monster Fairy http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fairy Fiend http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fiend Fire http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fire Fish http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fish Flip monsters are Effect Monsters with the ability "Flip". They all have a Flip effect, although they may also have other effects in addition to their Flip effect. Flip http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Flip_Monster Fusion Monster http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fusion_Monster Gemini Monsters are Effect Monsters with the ability "Gemini". They have effects, but these effects must be "unlocked" by performing an additional Normal Summon on them while they are face-up on the field; until then, they are treated as Normal Monsters on the field and in the Graveyard (everywhere else they are treated as Effect Monsters) Gemini http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Gemini_Monster Ghost Rare http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ghost_Rare Gold Rare http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Gold_Rare Holofoil Rare http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Holofoil_Rare Holographic Rare http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Holographic_Rare Insect http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Insect Light http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Light Limited Edition is an edition of cards in the TCG, Korean OCG, and Asian-English OCG that is marked by the text "Limited Edition".

Spirit http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Spirit_Monster Standard Edition is an internal description used by the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia to refer to the majority of OCG cards that would ordinarily be called "Unlimited Edition" in the TCG. Because the Japanese, Japanese-Asian, and Chinese OCG do not have a "1st Edition", we need a way of differentiating these and "Replica" cards. "Standard Edition" cards lack edition information in their filename. Standard Edition http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Standard_Edition Super Parallel Rare http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Parallel_Rare Super Rare http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Rare Super Short Print http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Short_Print Synchro Monster http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Synchro_Monster Thunder http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Thunder Token Monster http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Token_Monster Toon monsters are cartoonized counterparts of existing monsters, having some reliance on the card "Toon World". Toon http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Toon_Monster In the TCG, the Traditional Format was created around October 2004 as a counterpart to the then newly-introduced Advanced Format and its Forbidden list, since some players, especially those that had been playing for longer, still wanted to play with cards that had become Forbidden. The Traditional Format does not have a Forbidden List, instead having only Limited and Semi-Limited Lists, with all of the Forbidden cards from the Advanced Format being placed in Limited instead. The two formats are otherwise identical. Traditional Format http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Traditional_Format Tuner Monsters are monsters with "Tuner" listed on the Type/Ability line. They are required for the Synchro Summon of a Synchro Monster. Normal, Fusion, Effect, Pendulum, and Synchro Monsters themselves can all be Tuner monsters, although some card effects can treat non-Tuner monsters as Tuners. Flip and Union monsters and Special Summon Monsters can also be Tuner monsters. Tuner http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Tuner_Monster Twilight Edition: Light & Dark, also known as simply Twilight Edition, is a set which combines the best LIGHT and DARK monsters from 2008 and 2009. Twilight Edition http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Twilight_Edition Ultimate Rare http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ultimate_Rare Ultra Parallel Rare http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ultra_Parallel_Rare Ultra Rare http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ultra_Rare Ultra Secret Rare http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ultra_Secret_Rare Increase the ATK and DEF of all Fish, Sea Serpent, Thunder, and Aqua-Type monsters by 200 points. Decrease the ATK and DEF of all Machine and Pyro-Type monsters by 200 points. Premature Burial Umi Union monsters are Effect Monsters with the ability "Union". Each Union monster has an effect that allows it to equip itself to a monster as an Equip Spell Card or unequip itself to Special Summon itself to a Monster Zone. Union Ability http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Union_Monster Unlimited Edition is the edition of cards that have no edition text in the TCG, Korean OCG, and Asian-English OCG. In the Japanese, Japanese-Asian, and Chinese OCG, cards are not printed with editions (other than Duel Terminal Edition), so cards lacking edition text are referred to as Standard Edition instead. Unlimited Edition http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Unlimited_Edition Warrior http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Warrior Water http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Water Wind http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Wind Winged Beast http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Winged_Beast A tournament held at the world-wide level.
