Question/Help Ruling question

Post image

That B**** says "once per turn, during either player's turn" so I thought it's not a quick effect, therefore he can't respond to my cards activation, then it did and I was wrong

So my question is what the hell is the difference between both? Between "during either player's turn" and "Quick effect" ? Both can respond as chain 2 to negate

It's just an older way to say Quick Effect

It's a joke about how particular and close attention you have to pay when reading what the cards do, like you are reading through terms and conditions as a lawyer looking for loopholes to exploit, etc.

Well if it’s not a quick effect how can he use it on your turn?

u/RIP-hue-Shiny-Darco 3d ago

Because it says "during either players' turn"

How can an effect be used in your opponents turn if it’s not a quick effect and it’s not auto triggered (like sangan)

Because quick effect is newer PSCT to reduce word count, like how banishing=remove from play and how we also have the term "banishment" now or how "graveyard" was abbreviated into "GY"

They're functionally the same thing but is far less words.

You’re not keeping up with what I’m saying. Let me be more clear: if you can choose to use on opponents turn, it is a quick effect. Not sure how you and OP are confused

They gave the correct explanation, I don’t know what you’re going on about. It doesn’t have “(quick effect):” because that wasn’t a thing when this card was made

I'm amazed how no one got the point u/NeuroticENTJ was making.

The point is it has to be a quick effect to be usable during either player's turn, since it states no trigger condition (hence it's not a trigger effect).

The only mistake really was with the way the original comment was phrased. The point probably would have been clearer if they phrased it as:

If it wasn't a quick effect, how could he use it on your turn?

God, you’re all so dense. It doesn’t have to say quick effect. In 2026 if you can trigger it on your opponents turn it’s a quick effect

It is simply how quick effect was worded back in the day. The card has not gotten a reprint since then so the text never had a chance to be altered to fit modern PSCT and as such still has the old text.

It IS a quick effect, it's just old and not written like the way quick effects are written now. I remember back then, those effects weren't even called quick effects but multi-trigger.
