n00bie question I can't find the answer too - when can i activate SS2 cards?

[exiledforcefreak]

SS2 of course reffering to spell speed 2 A.K.A. non-counter traps and quick-play magic cards

I've heard some people say that I cannot activate traps during my opponent's draw or standby phase unless it specifically says so on the card text. I have also heard that I cannot simply activate a trap card such as waboku unless I have something to chain to.

First off I would like to say that I know I can activate waboku or any other trap such as ring of destruction or jar of greed during my opponent's turn without having something to chain to. Also, don't go into the stuff about the damage step, I already know about that.

What I want to know is how much, if any, of this is true

don't even go there

Plus on your list of "Damage Step" traps, "Null and Void" was excluded.

In anyevent, this question has long since been asked and answered and is now going *way* off topic on things and only serving to muddle the issue. If you have another question, please feel free to post it in a new thread. Thanks.
