Lesson 18: Spell/Trap Effects [Activate and Spell Speed]

Activate and Resolve

Again a Negate and Resolve Lesson. Yet this time, it's about Spell and Trap cards, instead of Monsters. As tricky as the Monsters may be, Spell and Traps have some difficulty as well.

Spell Effects

Spell Cards are, obviously, the effects of Spell Cards. There are quite some Spell Cards, so here's a little list of the ones we have.

- Normal
- Quick-Play
- Equip
- Continuous
- Field
- Ritual

Each of these Spell Cards have their own little Symbol at the card, at the right, under the name. Exception is Normal Spell. Those don't have a Symbol.

Normal Spell Cards.

Normal Spell cards can only be used in your own Main Phase 1 or 2. They go to the Grave as soon as their effects have resolved.

Quick-Play Spell Cards.

Quic-Play Spell have a special thing that no other Spell can do. They can be used in your opponents turn. This is often explained as "can be used as a Trap Card". And as such, it also has the drawback from a Trap, that it cannot be used the turn it was Set. Basically, you can either use a Quick-Play Spell Card in any Phase of your own turn, or you can Set it, and after that it's the same story.

What some people mistake with Quick-Play Spells, is that you can use it in your opponents turn from your hand. For it to be able to be used in your oipponent's turn, it has to be Set first. That way, it works like a Trap.

Equip Spell Cards.

Equip Spells are spells that can be activated by attaching them to a monster. This card then becomes equiped to that monster, and when the monster goes either face-down or leaves the field, the equip is destroyed. As long as they aren't destroyed by other cards, or the monster isn;t removed from the field or flipped face-down, then the Equip stays on the field.

Continuous Spell Cards.

Continuous Spells, like Normal and Equip Spells, can only be used in your Main Phase 1 or 2. Unlike normal or Quick-Plays, these cards do not leave the field after they've resolved. And what's more, even while they're lying on the field, they can still activate effects. Some of which are Trigger effects which could be activated in Battle Phases or Draw Phases, like Heart of the Underdog or Wind-Up Factory.

Field Spell Cards.

Like with Continuous Spells, Field Spells also stay on the field after resolving. They have effects that affect the whole field as well, or at times also effects that only affect the controller. Like Dragon Ravine does. Field Spells have their own Zone, at the upper left corner of the field.

Ritual Spell Cards.

Rituals have only one purpose. They're to Ritual Summon a Ritual Monster. [Bet you didn't guess that] Whenever they're activated, you have to tribute from your hand or field, monsters whose levels equal the level of the Ritual Monster you intend on summoning. There is also a Ritual Spell Card that lets you send Monsters from your Deck ro Grave. However that requires the levels to be precisely the same. Advanced Ritual Art.

Trap Effects

Trap Cards also have some different effects. Unlike the many Spells, Traps only have 3 different types.

- Normal
- Continuous
- Counter

Normal Trap Cards.

Normal Traps, like Normal Spells, have no Symbol. They're color coded purplish pink, and have their own good effects. Commonly, you Set a Trap Card on the field, face-down before you can use it. And the standard rule on Traps is that you cannot use them, at the turn you Set them. Before we had a Spell that allowed you to do that, called Temple of the Kings, but that card is banned. Now the Trap Trix monsters give support to a Trap Based deck.

Continuous Trap Cards.

Like with Continuous Spells, after resolve, they stick on the field and stay active, until they are destroyed. There is more to it then that, however. Like Monster Effects, some continuous Traps also have the "Once per turn" clause in their text. But unlike with Monsters [expect for the fact they state "during either players turn"], these effects with Traps are able to be activated in either players turn. For example, if Player A activates Dark Smog, then he can use that effect in both players turns.

Counter Trap Cards.

Counter Traps are the worst nightmare. They're usually cards you can't stop, and they work like Normal Traps. Just harder to go up against.

Spell Speeds

Here's some added information about Spell Speeds. This is an important thing, and is something you have to know if you ever want to start with competitive dueling. Basically, every card, whether monster, spell or trap, has a Spell Speed. Don't worry, it's not that you have to learn about every single card what spell speed they are. It's way simpler.

Konami's given each type of card a spell speed. Here's the gist of it.

Spell Speed 1:
Ignition Monster Effects, Normal Spells, Continuous Spells, Equip Spells, Field Spells, Ritual Spells. These card effects can only be used in the Main Phase 1 or 2 of your own turn. In case of a Chain, these cards can only appear as Chain Link 1. They cannot chain on other cards.

Spell Speed 2: Quick Monster Effects, Quick-Play Spell Cards, Normal Trap Cards, Continuous Trap Cards. These can be used in either players turn, and in the case of a chain link, they can chain to cards that have the Spell Speed 1 or 2.

Spell Speed 3: Counter Traps. They are used as Traps, but are the fastest cards around. They can chain to right about anything [continuous effects excluded] and themselves, while Spell Speed 1 or 2 can't chain on a Spell Speed 3.

Task

This week, it's gonna be a bit the same as last week. I'm sorry if the above Lesson hasn't been as well constructed as the others, but I've been the only available Teacher the past 3 weeks, so I'm afraid it'll have to do.

What you have to do is, again with a screenshot for each type, explain which cards is what type, and explain what spell speed it is. 20 OD for each.

https://i.imgur.com/B99XGoO.png these are the 8 different type of spells and traps.
normal spell cards are speed 1 which are the slowest( https://i.imgur.com/vG73u3F.png ),
equip spells are also normally speed 1 unless cad text saids otherwise(example the "abyss-scales" equip card is a speed spell 2 due its eff to neg)( https://i.imgur.com/gIWlHCI.png ).
field cards are also normally speed 1 as well unless card text allows its eff to be use on either players turn( https://i.imgur.com/WojZNLd.png ).
continuos spells are almost aways speed 1, I do not kno any that is higher than 1( https://i.imgur.com/QmTZixD.png ).
quick play spell are speed 2 which allows you to use it on either players turn, "note that once u set it, just like a trap It can not be use til the start of ur opponents turn after u set it"( https://i.imgur.com/LvW8rnR.png )
. trap cards in nature are auto speed spell 2 or higher. normal and continuous traps can be use on either player turn after they are set for 1turn( https://i.imgur.com/nRUoRwl.png ).
counter traps are speed and is the highest of speeds( https://i.imgur.com/AAf6wvG.png ).
knowing wat speed each card is is important becuz that allows u to kno wat to chain and how to chai it, a speed 1 cant chain to any other than another 1, a speed to can chain to 1 or another 2, a 3 can chain to a 2 or 1. "side note, that only a 3 can be chain or active during damg step unless the speed 2 has the eff to neg or change the atk/def of a monster(s)
