Spell Speed
- Spell Speed 1
Cards can ordinarily only be played during the turn of the player who controls the card. This is true for Field and Continuous spell cards only when they are initially played. Spell Speed 1 cards cannot be chained to or activated in response to any other card. Spell Speed 1 effects, however, can be chained to other Spell Speed 1 effects. - Spell Speed 2
Cards can be played on either player's turn but must have been set during your turn. Spell Speed 2 cards can be activated in response to any Spell Speed 1 or 2 card or effect. Spell Speed 2 effects are rarer but are usually compulsory to activate. - Spell Speed 3
Cards are only Counter trap cards. They can be activated in response to either Spell Speed 1, 2, or 3.
