Standby to Main Phase 1 Question..

[uztaryn]

Ok, opponent has Ceasefire and I have a face down Magician of Faith. I draw a card, then go to flip MoF up, and my opponent activates Ceasefire.

The question is, who gets to do what first. What if says Ceasefire before I get a chance to do anything after drawing. I'm sure there is a rule on who can do what first? Maybe he activates Ceasefire during my standby phase??

This comes up quite often on different things... Like I played my wife, and she played RoD, as soon as she did it, I activated Barrel Behind the Door, then she followed it with her Barrel behind the door. She would have activated hers first if I wouldn't have spoke too soon, but how does this work??

Thanks!

i personally use the ring / barrel combo there is a trick to it...

ok it sucks for her

u cannot activate Barrel Behind the Door in response to another
and when she activates Ring of Destruction it is then YOUR chance to respond.
so she has missed her chance to play her barrel

So the person with the stronger personality IRL wins?

 

[ChaosEmperor12]

huh???? irl???

 

[uztaryn]

sorry, played EQ for too long.... In Real Life

 

[ChaosEmperor12]

no its the rules
u get your chance to respond
before them

Although back to Ceasefire. That could have been activated in your Standby Phase, before your Main Phase 1 in which case you take the damage and lose out on her Flip effect.

 

[uztaryn]

So I draw, then he gets a chance to respond?

What if he does not respond right away? How long does he get?

I'm wanting to flip summon my MoF, and I know he has a Ceasefire down(because of a previous Cyber Jar)

Understand?

 

[ChaosEmperor12]

in that situation it is useful to declare when u enter the phases "i enter my standby phase" lol "i enter main phase 1"

 

[densetsu_x]

Your opponent has your entire Draw phase and your entire Standby phase since you cannot leave a phase until both players agree. So he can say "before leaving your standby phase, activate Ceasefire!"

 

[ChaosEmperor12]

if u place ur hand on your Mof to flip it over and they try to activate ceasfire really quick on u. u call them a cheater and continue with your original move

 

[densetsu_x]

That is why it's best to always be clear that you intend on leaving one phase to the next so that if he lets it go, he cannot then change his mind after the fact.

 

[ChaosEmperor12]

exactly i agree

 

[uztaryn]

I guess the bad part is just having to say "I now enter my main phase". Because if you do not say it everytime, it kind of tips your hand as to what you are going to do.

 

[ChaosEmperor12]

well i dont do that
but in that kind of situation i would if u know they have it and all

 

[ChaosEmperor12]

just to avoid confusion

I have got in to the habbit of saying what phase I am going into. Main phase 1,2, battle, and end. This bugs some people but I use it to my advantage.

If I say I am entering main phase one and they say wait then all is well. If I say it and they say nothing for 2-3 seconds then I proceed on. Gives them plenty of time to activate a card. This helps when dueling people who like to sneek things in on you that they couldn't activate otherwise.

Habit? While I agree it's a good one it's also the rules. You cannot enter/leave a phase until both players agree to leave/enter that phase. At each phase the turn player has priority. If you don't do anything, then you've passed to your opponent who may now activate any appropriate effect. This includes activating Ceasefire at your opponents Draw, Standby, Battle or End Phase.
