This refers to a rarity of a Card. It is classified on to several rarities.
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 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:

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
