chaining

[Buriko]

can you chain to somone entering or exiting a phase of the turn?

 

[slither]

Yes you can activate a "correct timing" card to the entering or exiting of a Phase.

well your not "chaining" to their start or end, you are just starting a chain.

when both players agree to enter a new phase you can start a chain, but as for exiting, u can start a chain before they exit (because exiting a phase, both players have to agree), or wait for the next phase to start a chian.

Mikoal is correct. In that case, the proper term would be "Responding to an event".

That's not how it happens.

1. Draw Phase.
Turn Player must Draw a card, opponent can respond to this event. Both Players may then activate any legal Quick-Play and Trap Cards prior to agreeing to end the Draw Phase.

2. Standby Phase.
Turn Player must resolve effects or has first opportunity to activate Quick-Play or Trap Cards. If he passes priority, then Opponent can activate any legal effects. Same as Draw Phase, both players can activate legal cards prior to exiting Standby Phase.

3. Main Phase 1.
Turn Player has priority with starting chains. Turn Player also has priority with effect monsters summoned from a previous turn that have Ignition Effects that can be activated in either Main Phase, as well as a summoned Effect Monster with a Triggered, or Ignition Effect.

Before leaving any Main Phase, both players must agree that it is over. Prior to that, same rules apply in regards to Quick-Play and Traps, as well as Normal Spells, or Continuous Effect (Spell Speed 2, Non-Quick-Play)

4. Battle Phase.
At the beginning of the Battle Phase, Turn player has priority with the start of any chain in the Battle Step, prior to declaring an attack. After that, once the Attack is declared, the opponent may respond.

End of Damage Step - Battle Phase.
Priority is again established with the Turn Player. If priority is passed, the Opponent is free to initiate a chain with any legal Quick-Play or Traps.

End Step of Battle Phase.
Priority is again established with the Turn Player. Same as above.

5. Main Phase 2.
Same as Main Phase 1, but only if Battle Phase was entered can you have a Main Phase 2.

6. End Phase.
Turn Player has Priority to resolve HIS effects that are either resolving, or activating. If both players have effects that resolve in the End Phase of the same turn, Turn Player may decide which order they would resolve, ie, Ectoplasmer vs Manticore of Darkness.

Turn Player also regains priority of activating Quick-Play and Trap Cards when there are no effects that would otherwise resolve or activate first as mandatory effects.


So, that's how I see it. I could be wrong. But the opponent, or "non-turn player" may not simply disregard the Turn Players priority when entering a Phase, as well as starting a chain. Entering and Exiting a Phase is not an event unto itself. It's what the turn player decides to do, or chooses not do that allows for the opponent to respond or start a chain themselves.

It is indeed an event. Which can be responded to, but not chained to. By both players.

1. Draw Phase.
Turn Player must Draw a card, opponent can respond to this event. Both Players may then activate any legal Quick-Play and Trap Cards prior to agreeing to end the Draw Phase.

BOTH PLAYERS may also respond to the draw, with Turn player getting priority first. And, as always, this applies to ALL events that are non-chainable, not just a draw.

 

[novastar]

Entering/Exiting a Phase/Step is not an event.

Drawing a card in the Draw Phase is an event, declaring an attack is an event, summoning a monster is an event, activating an effect is an event, resolving an effect is an event, and all things that occur inside of that resolution are events...

You get the point...

 

[Raijinili]

When you activate a card during the end of your opponent's phase, that is regular priority. It's not response priority because there is no "last event" to respond to, and it's not chain priority because YOU are starting the chain.

It's the same kind of priority that your opponent would need to activate a Normal Spell card.

When both players pass this priority, only then does the phase end (except through effects).
