regular spell cards can be activated only on your turn, quick play spell cards can be set then activated during your opponents or your turn, and spell cards with the infinity sign are treated like regular spell cards but stay on the field until it is destroyed traps cannot be activated from you hand they must first be set then activated on your next turn or your opponents turn knowing when to activate these spell or trap cards is tricky you have to know when to activate them or they will end up not helping you out at all

Can anybody provide a list of all cards for yugioh dotr?

I have know idea


What was the 3 card combo zigfried always used in yugioh?

Goddess Skuld's Oracle, Goddess Urd's Verdict, and Goddess Verdandi's Guidance Skuld lets him look at the top 3 cards of the opponent's deck and rearrange them however he wants. Verdandi lets him guess what kind of card is on the top of his deck (monster, spell, trap) and if he's right, it is Set in the appropriate zone. Urd lets him pick a face-down card controlled by the opponent, and if he can guess its name, it is banished. So, Zigfried would use Skuld to know what card was on the top of the deck, use Verdandi to have it placed on the field, and Urd to banish it.


Is the creator of light horakhty the most powerfull card in yugioh?

In the show? No. Technically, the creator of light was never used as a card. In the game? Once again, no. As far as I know, the creator of light was never made a card. The strongest card overall in my opinion is Winged Dragon of Ra, however, for "Legal" cards, Either Dragon Master Knight, or Five headed Dragon are strongest single cards in terms of attack points.

How do you used graverobber trap card?

if you activate this card during your opponent's turn you cannot activated or set the spell card, however if you discard the spell card you get from graverobber as a cost to activate an other card example: you discard the card you get from graverobber to activated raigeki break you still take the 2000 point of damage, if your opponent activate card destruction when you have the spell card you got from graverobber you do not take the 2000 points of damage. the spell card you got from graverobber will retun to you opponent graveyard during you opponent end phase in this case.If you activate graverobber during you turn you can activated or set the spell card you got from graverobber however you will only receive the 2000 points of damage for activating the card. the only thing I don't know is it the 2000 points of damage that apply first before the spell card ressolve, or the spell card resolve first before the 2000 point of damage resolve. if you know anything about when the damage of graverobber is apply e-mail me at( nickid_2000@yahoo.ca) if you set a quick-play spell card you got from graverobber you cannot activate the spell card and the spell card return to your opponent graveyard at the end of the turn that graverobber was activated(you do not take the 2000 point of damage) if you activate the spell card you got from graverobber and the spell card activation is negated you still receive the 2000 point of damage. if the card is an continues card, equip card or field spell card or sword of reviling light the card remain on the field until destroyed. During my turn I activated graverobber to get my opponent ookazi spell card and I have 2000 life point left and my opponent has 800 life point left, then in my main phase I activate my opponent ookazi spell that I got from graverobber who win (in the video game yu-gi-oh championship 2007 for the Nintendo Ds stated that I win in this situation after ookazi resolve graverobber show up in the middle of the screen it said that I win with 2000 life points left and my opponent 0 life point, if I had des wombat face-up on the field graverobber would not have showed up in the middle of the screen)if you know anything if the video game is right or wrong e-mail me at nickid_2000@yahoo.ca This answer abouve his out of date: the only 2 think that his wrong his this: " if the activation of the spell you got from graverobber got his activation negated you still take the 2000 points of damage" the correct ruling his this if the activation of the spell you got from graverobber is negated you do not take the 2000 points of damage, however if only the effect of the spell card you got from graverrobber is negated, you still take the 2000 points of damage. If you take ookazy from your opponent's graverobber while you have 2000 life points left, or less, and your opponent's got 800 points left, or less; if you activated ookazi and your opponent cannot negated the effect of that spell card, it his a tie, the damage from graverobber happen at the same time ookazi resolve. If you have any further question about this e-mail me at nickid_2000@yahoo.ca and make sure to mark the subject yugioh card ruling graverobber, if you do not mark this subject on your e-mail, your e-mail will be ignore. You can also ask question about other ruling not just graverobber. The subject example for Appropriate would be: Yugioh card ruling Appropriate.


When I activate the spell card using grave-robber do you know the exact timing for the damage application?

The damage application depends on the situation, if you used the spell card you got from graverobber for a cost to activate another card, you will take the 2000 points of damage before the card resolve in this situation if that cards activation is negated you do not re-gain your 2000 points of damage. If you activated the spell card you got from graverobber you take the 2000 points of damage when that spell card resolve, that is why you do not take the 2000 points of damage if that spell card got his activation negated because in that case it would not resolve. You still take the damage if only the effect of that spell card is negated because the spell card still resolve. If you have question about other ruling e-mail me at nickid_2000@yahoo.ca Make sure to mark the subject, or else it might be ignore.
