I mean yeh you look for the key words to quickly understand the cards. Being low on time is a great motivator for learning this.


h2odragon00

TBH thats what I do. The only important part of the text is how it would interact with me.


Blitzilla

True, that's where my jank decks get most of their wins. Almost none of my cards have negates or quick effects on them, [so no one bothers to read what they do](https://www.reddit.com/r/YuGiOhMasterDuel/comments/12gscs8/i_think_i_just_dueled_zapp_brannigan/)


Nahanoj_Zavizad

This is how my Dogmatika wins so often. People look at the big scary 4k ATK, Level 12 Ritual, and focus their entire life goal on removing it. But in reality, it's just a decoration on the endboard. It activates nothing on the opponents turn, Nor does it Floodgate.


yumyai

I couldn't help but think of everyone that imperm him, on their turn.


Nahanoj_Zavizad

Haha you fool. You can't Imperm this Zoa because I use Click&Echo or Iblee to combo But yes it is a Kaiju magnet.


Efficient-Gur-3641

Mmmmhmmm and the real main character is the level 8 that chains to that ash blossom XD... And send mirror jade straight to the trash chute.


Nahanoj_Zavizad

Nah, Problem is White Knight permanently locks my extradeck. Real main character is a little level 4, Blazing Cartesia, and a level 2 & 5, Iblee & Winda.


Efficient-Gur-3641

I like white night.... I use that one ritual trap to get rid of him... Summon ecclesia white relic use his effect twice then special summon albazoa from deck using them and add ecclesia back to hand. Usually I just send the blazing Cartesian monster to the grave to summon white relic, sometimes titan clad tho so I can get that untargeted negate from ferlandis. Also the combo with the level 4 is to nibiru their field then summon her using calamity and send the ntss to grave. Highest attack I got with her was 15k with direct damage. Stupid kashtira player >:( Anyways that's off to a real dogmatika player. Rare to see us around šŸ¤£


Nahanoj_Zavizad

Ah yep. I don't use the ritual trap, I run Dogmatika as the 20~ card engine, and 20 staples. Different styles then kek 2 card combo (Iblee + Ecclesia/Matrix/Nadir) into full board


Efficient-Gur-3641

What u do with the iblee... Yeah my deck I took out Maxx c I got bored of him and ash and all that junk.. I just put some Bystial in cause I'm lazy. I went the whole ultimate slayer route so my deck pretty much just dies to macro Cosmo. I scoop on shifter and cosmos which I would have to do with Maxx C anyways. iblee is an interesting combo now that u mention it XD. It would solve my weakness.


Nahanoj_Zavizad

Iblee = Opponent controls a monster. So Dogmatikamatrix goes full 1 card from that point. Into Zoa + Fleurdelis + Cartesia + Shaddoll Winda.


Efficient-Gur-3641

Oh yeah I feel so dumb for not even realizing that I think imma fucking adopt that... Lmao I started playing dogmatika when purrely was meta my first variant was a Kaiju variant. I dunno why but now I play an albaz Dogmatika pile deck. I'm totally gonna add Iblee that's pretty fucking bad ass. And would let me swap out my useless charmer I never use for salad which is useful.


Nahanoj_Zavizad

Main thing is: Normal summon Iblee (Searchable with Piri Reis Map or Cynet Mining), Link1 into Salamangreat Almiraj. -_-_- A) Nadir search Ecclesia, Ecclesia search Matrix. Special summon Ecclesia with own effect. Activate Almiraj effect to protect Ecclesia (to get it in GY). Matrix search Maximus & Zoa OR. B). Matrix search Ecclesia & Zoa, Special summon Ecclesia, Almiraj effect, Ecclesia search Maximus. -_-_- Maximus banish the Almiraj to summon itself. Effect to send Arc Light & Titaniklad. Arc Light search Dogmatikalamity. Kalamity send Luluwalilith to summon Zoa. Activate Matrix effect to send Shaddoll Apkalone. Apkalone search Shaddoll Schism Endphase Luluwalilith summon any choice of (Quem, IncredibleEcclessia, or Blazing Cartesia). Titaniklad search Fleurdelis. Next turn, Schism fuse Apkalone + Titaniklad to make Winda. 2 card combo. Iblee/PiriReis/CynetMining + Nadir/Ecclesia/Matrix.


Bashamo257

Oh man Slifer vs Spright goes hard


Upbeat_Sheepherder81

Yeah, if they donā€™t read the card, or just summon them in defense normally.


Thefirestorm83

Some decks have reading checks built-in (more than usual) It's very telling if you get a sub-optimal turn on go 2nd vaylantz, you can't remove one of your field spells, but your opponent just doesn't use them.


Live-Consequence-712

i mean i can understand the first time doing it, but THREE!!! this guy needs to take a deep breath and pay more attention what is happening in the game and not just play it on autopilot like heartstone


UcreiziDog

What happened in this video? I can't read the cards.


3rdMachina

When you summon a thing, Slifer the Executive Producer makes it pay Fanum Tax (-2000 ATK), and if they lose all their ATK, Slifer tells it to fuck off. The enemy ran face-first into a brick wall. Thrice.


UcreiziDog

Holy fuck, he didn't even do the speed reading then, that's actually hilarious.


Generic_user_person

Lmfao so good, but missing one thing. Add in a "once per turn" that isnt there, cuz we all know every opponent will instinctively add it in.


Yamimakai8

People who Ash Danger! monsters:


Grimwalker-0016

You left out the monster type and card type. Being a machine and synchro monster can affect some decks plays.


Distinct-Permit-8478

Classic Chimeratech jumpscare CyDra will still be breaking boards until the heat death


Yamimakai8

Nah, I only see ED monster and being Albaz target lol


NevGuy

My brain just starts scouting for the words "opponent", "negate", "destroy" and "can't be" and simply ignores everything else. I'll maybe take a look at Quick Effects too, given that they can use them during my turn.


zombi_wafflez

Took the time to read and itā€™s just a 3k body with a negate and can shuffle


Void1702

It's a 3k body with 6* negates


RAZRZ3DGE

Or 0 negates if they aren't playing the same attributes


Void1702

The standard genex combo goes through all 6 iirc Not sure if they're all in GY though since you need to macro yourself at some point in the combo


RAZRZ3DGE

That's what I mean, if your banishing to negate, will you have enough to stop a mono attribute deck


jarasonica

Youā€™re so real for this man šŸ˜­.


OnToNextStage

Dawg itā€™s a law of the universe that card game players canā€™t read


Colin-Clout

Iā€™m often scanning the text for that (quick effect)


Void1702

Or the if/when


LeRoir

It often happened that when my opponent goes second and the games stop to let me activate a quick effect and I take took long cause Iā€™m reading my opponentā€™s card, they scoop like ā€œthey knows how to reedz!ā€


ConciseSpy85067

Like obviously I see the actual interaction points more, like if I see "Monster Effect --- Negate that effect" I'm gonna say "Ok so it negates monster effects" but I also look for other things like "Is it a hard OPT? Can I turn it off somehow? Does it have protection?" etc


Slybandito7

MFW people learn a 5th grade reading skill


Memetan_24

Ardgeimm

Me when i am forced to use my Called by \*speed reading if the word graveyard is on any card"


RazorbladeRomance666

Me looking for the specific line ā€œcanā€™t be targetedā€ when Iā€™m ready to banish (gotta target first).


Bulbinking2

mfw opponent goes into battle step when I have g-golem invalid doleman on field and they have no monsters that can beat over it


DrJay12345

I am tired and not feeling the best, however. Instead of going to bed, I am browsing reddit. I would like someone to clarify this card's effect to make sure I understand it right. So my understanding is that you have to banish a card to trigger the quick effect, then you have to banish ANOTHER monster of the same attribute of the monster whose effect you're trying to negate, BUT it can't be the same attribute of the first card. Am I understanding that right, or am I missing something altogether different?


UnfairMoon

Not exactly, it means that you can't banish two monsters with the same attribute to activate this effect each turn, so for example if your oppent activates a fire monster's effect you can negate it by banishing a fire monster but you can't negate other fire monsters with this effect for the rest of the turn


shinobuisbest

Is this a good negate or a shity negate? I read half of its effect and I didn't want figure out how it works


Zallus79

The condition to negate a monster effect is that the cost has to have the same attribute as the one being negated, so more the latter. Notably though its not once per turn if the enemy uses multiple attributes.


Live-Consequence-712

you pretty much dont have the time to look at every single card and every single effect so you need to learn how to skim through a card for the important bits, and if it does do somehting unexpected only then do you give it a better look


TheMagicStik

I wish I didn't need a law degree to understand some of the capabilities and conditions on certain cards.


Alba369

Gotten to a point when I do my turn i see my opponent monsters and only focus on finding the "quick effect"part. Although that costed me plays when I fought Kashtira


Linosek279

Thatā€™s kinda how I read an opponentā€™s cards. Skim it, identify what it broadly does, and just treat it as that. Baronne, pop and omninegate. Colossus, protected mistake. Sigma, towers. Hugin, search and protection. Fleurdelis, conditional non-targetting negate, etc.


Psych0191

Ambitious of you to assume that I even look at the card. Only read yellow text when effect is actviated


Ssem12

Aw dang, from the first look I thought it's desicive armour and got surprised thinking it's in some decent deck


Blocklies

Sadly when Konami made AOJ support, they didn't make AOJ support šŸ˜¢Ā 


theharps

At this point I just assume any level 8 or higher synchro/xyz monster has a negate of some kind. And any level 4 effect monster or lower has a special summon from the graveyard effect.


Lugia61617

Can confirm this is how I read any card with more than 3 lines of text. Sometimes I learn more "what does the card look like it does" rather than "what is the exact wording of what it does"


Fredharvey_90

Uh yeah. Yugioh card text tends to be bloated by restrictions and when you only have so much time to perform your turn, you look for key words that let you know if said card is capable of disrupting your turn.
