Is this Allowed IRL?? "Legal CHEATING" w/ Dino Waifus.. Not Advocating it Though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@sharpclawv2]

This is a legal play, you don't have to declare whether you're going to battle phase or end phase, you simply have to say "attempt to end main." That passes priority over to your opponent before you change phases. If your opponent decides to do something, priority passes back to you (turn player) and you can choose to continue the main phase or go to the next phase.

[@coatguy2990]

[@tagcadet7395]

This is actually super common, and completely legal. Idr if it was a regional but there was a tournament being casted where the opponent said, "leaving the main phase" and essentially forced the quaertis to activate (as it is main phase only) or miss out. So, after the quaertis effect went off, the opponent chose to STAY in main phase and continue comboing. You only need to announce you are leaving a phase, not where you GO to. The rule that you were reading was the one you must state when you ENTER a phase. That must also be done. So, when leaving main phase, not only can you bait to go to end turn OR battle phase, you can ALSO stay in the phase if your opponent DOES use an effect. However, if they don't, you are forced to leave, as you said.

[@superkerel9]

That's why unless the card specifically says it only works during the main phase, you would always prefer to wait until end phase to use an effect. It avoids this scenario + it makes certain cards like effect veiler offline.

Alternative title: Tooltips for effectively playing mindgames with your opponent so you can give maximum EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

[@shadowfox87]

IRL, both players agree to move to the next phase. The turn player says, "I would like to move to the next phase". If you are in MP1, that means you are now leaving this phase, so the priority is passed to the opponent. This is the window where the opponent can activate things like Nibiru. Then, once the priority is passed back, it is an open game state. Now the turn player can say "I'm entering the Battle Phase" which is during the Start Step of the battle phase. They do not need to tell you which phase they are entering - BP or EP during MP1.

[@ryanbacker4870]

I see what you did with the title gunz, very funny. That being said, this isn't cheating so much as it is angle shooting, and this specific tactic has been here as long as trap decks have had to go second against quickie pops. It's an angle shot in the sense that it's more of a knowledge check. A more experienced player will just pop your stuff at endstep, but a newer player might try to react if you try to go end of main. TLDR: use your dpe pops on backrow during endstep folks!

[@bruskydu]

If a card says it is only activatable during the main phase then you can actually force your opponent by going to your battle phase. If the opponent uses the main phase effect then after it's resolution, you will be prompted if you would like to continue your main phase or proceed to the next phase that you selected. If they only use quick effects like DPE, and if you're not toggled on, then it will continue to the battle phase/next phase you selected on resolution.

[@NovaCascade]

Either way is correct. If you announce "I'm going to end my main phase", then your opponent has the chance to decide to activate any effects. If you instead announce, "I'm going to the Battle Phase" then its the same result, your opponent gets a chance to activate any effects. However, if you do decide to say or someone says "I'm going to end my main phase" then you should already be aware that they'll either go in to their Battle Phase or their End Phase. Which if you don't respond then it'll go to the End Phase if that was their intention where you can activate DPE and then pop. If not, then you'll simply go in to the Battle Phase and can response at the start of it or you can also wait to the for the end of the Battle Phase, start of MP2 or end of MP2 or at the End Phase. Is it trying to bait a response, sure it is but if you get impatient and respond when the End Phase hasn't been declared then it didn't matter how he said it. If a dude was sketchy like that on paper, I'd be making sure. I'd be like, "No response" and wait till he declares Battle or End Phase. In Master Duel, he sets one and tries to end his Main Phase I'm going to toggle on and wait till I see that it lands on End Phase.

[@benjiboi7127]

I think this is genuinely fine... I mean. It's more applicable in a scenario when they have an effect that can only activate during the main phase for eg. Declaring end of main means they then use the effect prematurely and then you can continue in that main phase because they've performed another action. Similar to bluffing evenly matched too

[@metalmariomega]

All you need to do is declare your intent to leave a phase, and with the reaction toggle set to on, the game will give you a warning when you attempt to do so if you have a card that can be declared in either an open game state or the end of said phase. You can even do this as far as your opponent attempting to pass turn during the end phase, the toggle will declare their attempt to end the turn if you have a card you can play before it happens(i.e. popping cards that were set at the end of their last Main of the turn). Irl you can just go "end of x phase" or "end of turn" to pass priority before the phase or turn changes. If you try to skip, your opponent can attempt to shark you on skipping steps if you attempt to perform ANY action before letting them do so. Additionally, if your opponent DOES make an action after passing priority, the change in game state allows you to continue to make actions in the current phase, similarly to how changing the number of monsters on the field allows you to change targets even after declaring an attack, up to the battle step(after damage step begins though, the monsters are locked in combat and the attacker has forfeited its right to change targets, even if a card like Forbidden Droplet removes the defending monster from the field).

[@Murasane]

The reason this is a legal play is because the game is returning to an open game state after an eff resolves like the dpe set 4 example because the game is returning to an open game state because your declaration of ending your main phase got interrupted by an eff activating and resolving. Afterwards, the state of the game has changed due to the result of an effect therefore the turn player now has a choice to continue to end the main phase or continue because the state of the game and board has changed in some way which is why this is legal irl

[@rifqihermawan1301]

This is still fine, bluffing in master duel is still fine like playing with togle to trick your opponent you had certain hand trap or other response to potentially change how they set their end board is unique to this format, but that adventure stuff is not bluffing is just miss re-present the game

[@kevinplonergan]

[@lucascerbasi4518]

Yup, this is completely legal. You declare you are ending a phase before ending another one, and only declare what phase you are entering after you already entered it. So in end of M1, for example you only have to say "end of M1" , and you opponent only knows if you are entering BP or EP once you already entered it or, if you are on end of BP, your opponent only knows if you are entering M2 or EP once you already entered it.

[@kammerer396]

This is a pretty well-known tcg tooltip, never say things like "attempt to enter the battle phase" always word it as "attempt to leave the main phase". It's just something every player should do similar to shuffling your hand after you draw so that your opponent doesn't know if what you played was off the top or not or always saying "thinking" and pausing for a second if your opponent activates a card or effect whether or not you have a hand trap, because it won't give away if you have interruptions or not. A similar tool is asking your opponent sometimes a clarifying question like "that's summon 4 right?" to act like you have nibieru. The trick is to also do it when you have Nibiru, it's just like bluffing in poker, sometimes you need to have the cards too. None of this is cheating, it's all fair play and it's not considered bad sportsmanship, it's an important part of the game that better players implement to gain advantage over their opponent.

Comedically, the game of yugioh technically does require the consent of both players to proceed. Back in the olden days, we did have effects that proc-ed in the draw/standby phase, but we have significantly more effects that do so now. Unless both players pass priority back to an open game state and proceed through phases, *we are not leaving this phase* Scariest thing someone can do to a man is draw phase, standby phase, M1... *enter battle phase with an empty field* (You're gonna get evenly'd)

If the opponent instead toggled on. even if gunz goes to end phase, he can still use dpe to pop self and backrow. Also, this is safer because gunz cant set cards anymore in end phase. (Note: you really need to toggle on 'cause you will not be prompted of end phase if you didnt.) There are many quick-effects that still activateable in end phase so know your cards. But for cards like pandemonium that is activateable in main phase only, i should've use it then and there (cause i might lose the chance to activate it in opp. turn)

Well I think this is a minor issue with the master duel simulator which needs to be corrected. They need to tell the opponent player in which phase that player wants to enter. That this player here activated his dpe not in the end phase and screwed himself over, was not an illegal play. The Turn player is always allowed to continue the current phase if the opponent activates an effect at the end of that phase. While he could have waited for the end phase for the dpe. He could not do that with his halq thus "baiting" his opponent to use it.

Idk. I’m a pretty experienced player and I could definitely see myself falling for this every once in a while. Some decks and combos are so repetitive that I just zone out while my opponent goes off. Also yugioh players are notorious for not being able to read so they may not actually read the prompts.

[@XKTUSX]

what happened is the opponent on your “end of main phase” summoned another monster so in open game state when a number of monsters changes that’s why the prompt to continue main phase exists but master duel doesn’t always best represent the physical representation of the card game/game state. Also it’s important to not make mistakes like duel links meta did w/ misunderstanding game rules but presenting it as fact, though you have a point would a judge enforce stating phases? Some things like baiting nib are legal but to the former question of a play such as this would be enforced? Well i believe at high level events that would be the case as it’s EXPLICITLY STATED in the rulebook but at locals it’s a case by case basis as not every “judge” has integrity/knowledge comparable to enforce or know ALL the rules. Point is i’m just offering word of caution.

[@alexryu2632]

Not true, you and your opponent only have to consent to the ending of the phase, which you will then follow by announcing whether it is the battle phase or the end phase, as evidenced by how all forms of Yugioh simulators-- Including official Konami ones, such as MD, Legacy of the Duelist, etc-- Merely state that you are ending the main phase when they pass priority to the opponent. This is distinct from the issue with a certain other community member stating that you need not specify which effect of Fateful you are declaring, as both of those effects are distinct, while the act of ending the main phase is identical, regardless of which phase you enter immediately following it. In effect, you must decide which effect of Fateful you are using at activation, due to their different activation legalities, while you do not declare the phase you are entering until after the current phase ends. ("Ending main phase; Response?" -> "Yes, go ahead"/"Before the main phase ends, I activate [Effect]" -> [Turn player can decide to continue MP if the opponent DID declare an activation/effect; Loop back to the first step of this chain if so, or they can simply end the phase] -> "The Battle Phase has begun; Response?"/"The End Phase has begun; Response?")

[@l3wina486]

Dkayed said "You can act like you're using the spell search, but really you use the monster search", which is an illegal play because you did not pass priority, and thus you're not yet able to use the monster search. He also pretty clearly said "You can do this in the TCG and it's okay", which was wrong. What Guns said was "You only need to declare you're ending your main phase, not if you're going to BP or End", which is true and how it works in the TCG. The part in the rulebook where it said you should say "I'm entering my battle phase" was at the start of BP, not on trying to end main.
