Can you activate 'Alector Sovereign of Birds' effect during your opponents turn?

No, Alector has no effects that can be used in the opponent's turn. His summon effect is something that can only be done in your main phases, and his negation effect is an Ignition Effect so again, can only be done in your turn.


In yugioh can magical hats be used for effects trap spell monster effect ie maneater bug or only to be used when your opponant attacks a monster on your side of the field?

Magical hats can only be used during your opponent's battle phase. Seeing as they can't flip their monsters during their battle phase, no. However, if your opponent does activate a spell or trap card during the battle phase, you can use Magical hats and protect your monsters. Overall, yes. You can use magical hats to protect your monsters from targeting effects as long as it's during your opponent's battle phase.


Does an effect activate only once the monster is on the field?

In general, yes. Continuous effects are only applied while the monster is on the field, an activated effects (Ignition, Trigger and Quick) can only activate when the monster is on the field. If they activate in other zones (Honest, while in hand, Zeta Reticulant, while in the graveyard, DD Survivor, while out of play) then it will specifically say so on the card.

How does targeting work in the Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game?

When one or more specific cards a chosen by a card effect, it is considered "targeting". For example, when you activate "Soul Taker", you must target, or choose, the monster you want to use its effect on. When you activate "Sakaretsu Armor", you are targeting the monster who is attacking. That means those card effects won't work if the targeted monster is gone. For example, if you activate "Soul Taker" on a Fusion Monster, and your opponent activates "De-Fusion", the targeted monster is gone so the effect would not activate. If your opponent activates "Book of Moon" to flip their monster face-down when you activated "Sakaretsu Armor", the card's target is technically not there.


Can you activate a umi field card on your opponents turnin yu-gi oh?

You can only activate Quick Effects, Traps, and Quickplay Spells in your opponent's turn, as well as some cards may Trigger automatically when conditions are met. Field Spell Cards are none of the above. You cannot activate them in your opponent's turn.


What can affect 'Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon'?

Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon is only protected from effects that target it, so non-targeted effects work fine. Lightning Vortex, Smashing Ground, DD Warrior Lady, Neospacian Grand Mole, Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute are all examples of non-targeted effects.


Does divine wrath only work for effects that your opponent chooses to activate?

No, you can use Divine Wrath on your own activated monster effects if you wish. Just as long as it is indeed an effect that activates and therefore uses the chain.


In Yu-Gi-Oh when you activate the effect of Demise King of Armageddon can you choose what order cards are destroyed in?

There is no "order" in which the cards on the field are destroyed - it is considered that all cards are destroyed at the same time. When it comes to the order of activation of the effects of cards that came as a result of being destroyed by "Demise", this is the order: # The current turn's player's (the one who activated "Demise"'s effect) mandatory effects. These are effects that must take place and do not ask the player if they would like to activate the effect like "Sangan". If there is more than one, you may choose the order. # The opponent's mandatory effects # The current turn's player's optional effects. Effects like "Mystic Tomato" that ask the player if they would like to activate the card's effect. If there is more than one, they can choose the order. # The opponent's optional effects. The chain would resolve starting with the opponent's optional effects and continue to the current turn's player's effects.


Can your opponent use 'Assault Mode Activate' on your synchro monster?

No, it requires a Tribute. Unless stated otherwise, like on cards such as Soul Exchange, a tribute must be something you control. You cannot tribute an opponent's monster as a cost for your own effects or summons.


Can Painful Choice activate Dark World monster effects in Yu-Gi-Oh?

No because the five cards that are chosen from your deck aren't actually added to your hand they are separate and shown to your opponent and your opponent picks one to add and you discard the remaining cards.


Can you activate cyber dragon while your opponent is attacking?

Cyber Dragon doesn't have any activated effects. Cyber Dragon's special summon can only be performed on your own turn, in your main phases.


Can you use Winged Rhynos effect if it is on your opponents side of the field?

Unless specifically stated otherwise (Royal Oppression, etc), you can only activate the effects of a card you have control of. If 'your' Winged Rhynos is on the opponent's side of the field, then in game terms, it is 'his' monster. He's the only one that can activate the effect.


Which effect activates first if Number 57 Tri-Head Dust Dragon is summoned while an opponent Slifer the Sky Dragon is on the field in Yu-Gi-Oh?

The turn player has "priority" of effects to be activated first, but in the event that two Trigger effects are activated simultaneously, as in this case, they are put on the Chain in the following order: Turn player's mandatory effects, opponent's mandatory effects, turn player's optional effects, opponent's optional effects. So, technically, they activate simultaneously, but when they are put upon the Chain, they resolve in reverse order of when they are put on. In short, Number 57's effect resolves first.


Do flip effects have to work if tributed?

If the face-down monster is tributed, then no, any Flip Effects it has will not activate. Under normal conditions therefore, you should flip the monster first, allow the effect to activate/resolve, then tribute the monster for whatever. But you are out of luck if your face-down Flip Effect monster is tributed by the opponent using Soul Exchange, for example. Because it never 'Flips' (even though it goes to the graveyard face up) the effect will not activate.
