This is an article to explain the terms used in Yu-Gi-Oh! Some basic some advanced. I'll update if you guys have some I need to include.
Activating a card: Placing a Card from the hand on the Field and asking for a response.
Activating an effect: Selecting a card already in play or banished or in the grave and activating it.
Chain: To activate a card in succession to another Card or Effect Activating. Happens after the opponent asks for a response.
Resolve: Neither players could or want to respond to the last card in play and the Effect listed occurs
Discard, Destroy, and Mill are forms of "Send" to the Graveyard
Send to the Graveyard is not a form of Tribute, Discard, Destroy, or Mill to the Graveyard
Synchro, Fusion, Ritual, and Xyz Summons are Forms of Special Summon
But a Special Summon is not a Synchro, Fusion, Ritual, or Xyz Summon
Normal Summon ≠ Flip Summon
A Flip Summon is a form of a FLIP, but a FLIP is not a form of a Flip Summon
Summon ≠ FLIP (Flipped Face-up)
Targeting: Happens after activation of an effect or card, but before asking a response. Select a Target whether it is from Field or Graveyard or Banish
"SEGOC"
Simultaneous Effect Goes On Chain : The order in which 2 or more Trigger Effects activate at the same time.
Thats just a little sample, my explaining sucks a bit I know, but tell me is this useful? Especially to new players or those who are confused with the wording on cards?
