The Stack in magic the gathering is pretty similar to chain links. Super informative video. I’ve played magic my whole life but recently started getting into yugioh. Your content is immensely helpful!!
Cali years later, I still think this video is great. I’m getting back into the game because I have not played as much since the pandemic. I was on a rampage with my HEROs.
2 mins and 39 seconds in and you've blown my mind with looking at chain links as a conversation, fantastic way to look at it - I'm new to Yugioh and that gives me a lot of perspective. And subscribed and unpausing Learn me!
👏🏾👍🏾 GREAT JOB explaining how chain links work! I don’t think there’s a video that “dumbs down” chain links as good as that. I know you explain chain links when you do test hands (most times when applicable), but if you can, can you explain some scenarios using today’s meta decks / cards?? 💪🏾💪🏾 Keep up the awesome work!
I'm not gonna lie. Your rule related videos tend to be very basic(which is not a bad thing, they are accesible to newcomers), but this time you went a bit further. Nice work! Love your vibe!
Very true on the comments very helpful my friend got me in to magic loved it but I run on console and since no new version he got me into master duels and I've been watching videos all day trying to understand certain areas and effects you have went into great detail at explaining thank you for the helpful tips keep up the good intel 👍.
Damm Cali iam watching this old video and you are the only person that explained how chain links work ,and it actually resinating with me.apriciate ya big dogg!!
Just getting back into yugioh after 5-6 years of not playing and idk how I used to compete in regionals tournaments and do well without knowing this stuff lmao, I wonder how many times I made a fool of myself😂
mtg works very similarly to this. it has a stack of which spells go onto before resolving. there is only one "instant" speed in mtg but you dont have to respond to the last effect put on the stack you may target any effect on the stack as long as it hasnt resolved yet. so there is no "CHAIN BLOCKING" in mtg. which what confused me most about yugioh. i really like this mechanic though its refreshing lol
Great content! I watch a lot of your videos just found this older one and I really like the content . Should probably do more videos like this . Very informative and to the point.
At the time of this video there was no card game that had similar thing like chaining but now there is actually a very good one, it’s called legends of runeterra made by the league of legends guys. Has many cool mechanics. It’s what I primarily play and I’m just getting back into yugioh after not playing it for like 10 years xD Edit. After watching the video it sounds like the took a lot of inspiration from yugioh for LoR. I just feel they made it a bit more easy to understand and clear while keeping it interesting and complex enough to express skill
7:02 where the video shouldve started lmfao, last effect to be activated is the first one that resolves, yugioh is very vague and specific, and most of the time under very specific circumstances the most you'll see is maybe chain link 6 and guess what if it didn't work out there's this cool red button in the options menu give it a go
Do you interrupt your opponent to let him know you're about to chain link? So lets say he's in the middle of a combo and you want to link a spell, do you ave to like act quickly before he plays the next step in his combo sequence?
Question: What about Monsters (QuickEffect)? Do those Monsters that have (QuickEffect) that can respond to Spells and Trap Card( Spell Speed 3). Which has Speed priority?
Chains takes the same basic concept of 'the stack' in magic the gathering. The main difference being that in magic cards can target other cards on the stack freely, there are no chain blocks like in yugioh.
But what about detaching graff as an xyz material to activate dante, and then barbar and cir are sent to the grave simutaneously. Where does graff fall then
So what cards chainblock ash blossom when discarded by Knightmare Mermaid If dragoons is discarded it's chain link 1 right? If a danger monster is discarded, what chain link is it? If Knightmare Iblee is used for the summon of knightmare iblee, what chain link is it?
@@thecalieffect I know I was referring to when you said " I thought there be z chart but I couldn't find one " unless I misheard you which is possible I'm 50% deaf
@@alexisthetransgenderduelis4211 I've seen people show the chart and players still confused even after seeing it decided to just explain it. Probably still could have included it in the video.
Regarding turn player priority: after a normal summon, turn player has prio to activate a quick eff first right? For example: I normal summon squamata, which has no eff, I can immediatly activate an el shaddoll fusion and then the opponent can respond right? Opponent cannot activate a spell speed 2 or higher effect before me, unless I pass priority?
I got a question, If you have "Sangan" either tribute Summoned or used "Dark Hole" and you have "Horn Of The Unicorn" equipped to a monster. Which effect would go first? Sangan's" or "Horn Of The Unicorn's?" And would it matter if "Horn Of The Unicorn goes to the GY first, Or "Sangan?" So could I chose want Chain Link Speed for both cards?
Can I chain onto my own card? For example, I link summon Nordic Gullveig and then activate the quickplay spellcard hippo carnival from my hand before Gullveig's summon effect activates.
Wait, I thought I couldn’t respond to a normal summon since summoning doesn’t start a chain? I thought an effect needed to activate in order for me to chain a card to it?
This is probably a stupid question but if you have a MST or enemy controller down on the field both quick play spell cards and your opponent activated Raigeki can I activate MST or enemy controller?
Sometimes my videos get recorded well in advance. If you have recently joined (which I think you have) then your name gets called out on the next made video. I'm not 100% sure if I have called your name yet, BUT it will be called and added asap.
Little Scenario: I special summon Dinowrestler Pankratops, Opponent: activiates Evolzar Laggia to negate special summon Can I then, chain link Evolzar laggia's effect with pankratops to destroy evolzar?
Hey man there is a ruling I am confused about If my opponent activated fire formation tenki and I used silver cry to special summon dragon spirit of white would fire formation tenki be banished before searching ?
Question: I was dueling a guy where this happened: I had the XYZ monster that is called Zeus and I activated his quick effect that let me remove two materials to destroy all other cards on the field to the GY, but he activated Branded In Red (may not be the exact name) and said that its effect (Branded's) prevented his cards on his side of the field from being destroyed because he chained Branded In Red to Zeus's quick effect. He got rude about it and started cursing at me, so I just moved on to another duel. I would have loved to have been educated about it, but not with cursing and insults from a dude that smelled like hotdog water lol. It wasn't even a formal duel, just on DuelingBook. Can someone explain to me if the guy was right?
you make a mistake on priority with the normal summoned of injection fairy, your the turn play as the priority to activated torrential tributed in response to your own summoned or any other card that are spell speed 2 not spell speed 3 because spell speed 3 would be negating the summoned and that is the timing before being succesfully summoned and a spell speed 2 card that does not negated the summoned cannot be activated in the negated summoned timing unless another spell speed 2 that does negated the summoned do so. If you do not then you opponent as the oppertunity to activated torrential tributed, or any other card that respond to the summoned that are spell speed 2, or even card that does not respond to the summoned that are spell speed 2. Take a look at this example, your opponent special summoned black luster soldier -envoy of the begining with the summoning condition, when the special summoned his successfull, the turn player past priority because he want to activated nothing, the opponent activated MAXXC from his hand, chain link 1 Max C, after Maxx c resolve you do not draw a card for the special summoned, because that timing is over. Take a look at that rare senario, your opponent Special summoned Black luster soldier-envoy of the begining with the summoning condition, you flip face-up royal oppression, to be a valid play here you are force to pay 800 life points to negated the summoned, because if you refuse it become an invalid activaton since you can't activated spell speed 2 card that does not negated the summoned in the negated the summoned timing, but then you want your MAX C to work since your opponent does not add to the chain you activated Mst that is on your filed and was set for a turn already targeting your own royal oppression, then your opponent does not add to the chain, and you add MAXC, your opponent does not add to the chain and then you don't neither so it move on to resolving the chain MaxC chain link 3, MST chain link 2, Royal oppression Chain link 1 , so the highest number resolve first MaxC resolve you do not draw a card yet, then MST chain link 2 resolve destroying royal oppression, the chain link 1 resolve Royal oppression is a continuous trap card and it is not on the field at resolution so it cannot negated the summoned, on the negated the summoned window they can only be one chain, so when that chain is over it will go to succesfully special summoned, and then you draw a card for MaXC. Edit: However in goat format Royal oppresion would have to be already face-up to work with that same example
Hello! My name is Eduardo, I'm from Brazil and I'm a big fan of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" since the game was released. I play for fun with my friends but we usually have doubts about the rules of the game. My question is: In the OFFICIAL RULEBOOK (Version 10), in page 51 is said: "Actions which cannot be Chained to You can only create a Chain by responding to the activation of a card of effect. Summoning a monster, Tributing, changing a monster's battle position and paying costs are not effect activations and therefore you cannot respond to those actions using a Chain." If my opponent normal summons ou flip sumons a monster. How can I respond to its action with Trap Hole, if "Summoning a monster" does not allow me to respond its action? I did not get it... Is Trap Hole useless? Did I miss sometinhg important when I was reading the rulebook? Thank you!
In yugioh if the card says that it can be activated in a particular condition or moment it can be used even if normal rules do not allow it *as long as you fulfill those conditions* If I normal summon Gem Knight Garnet you can trap hole him even if his summon does not start a chain Another example , evenly matched is a very powerful card that, at the end of a battle phase, will force both players to control the same number of cards, but it is a trap and can only be used after it was set for a turn, but is says that it can be activated from the hand if you control no cards
I don't know if anybody will read this but I'll just give it a shoot. When I played YuGiOh Master Duel I tried to chain Dust Tornado with El Shaddoll Fusion to stop my opponent from summoning a Fiuson Monster but despite the destruction of El Shadoll Fusion it's effect still triggerd in the graveyard. Can anybody tell me why he could still summon a fiuson monster?
I think its because dust tornado just destroys the card but does not negate it. So even if el shaddol is in the graveyard the effect still resolve and he can summon a fusion monster. In this case to stop it you need a card who negates spell/trap cards or something loke that. Just destroying a card after it is acitvated isn‘t enough tho

Opponent: Trickstar Candina effect?
Me:Chain effect
Opponent: What effect?
Me: TheCaliEffect
What is with monster effects that can negate other effects? Spell speed 2 or 3? For example crystal wing or six samurai synchro monster
3:26
Gg?
Sometimes parts of Yu-Gi-Oh like this are hard to understand and teach. Nice job explaining. Even for the more veteran players this still gets tricky.
I'm new to playing i use to only collect cards this stuff is for sure one of the most tricky parts to understand.
The Stack in magic the gathering is pretty similar to chain links. Super informative video. I’ve played magic my whole life but recently started getting into yugioh. Your content is immensely helpful!!
Does yugioh feel like going at light speed to you?
@@sawderf741 Yes
Video on chain blocks and how to dodge hand traps plz
I can honestly say that you did a way better job explaining chains than Tombox MST. Great video and I learned something new!
They both do a good job at explaining.
That sounds like a good video for those spell speeds
This videos is definite series in the making. Spell speed, when to activate card effects and card activation from the graveyard and banish zone.
It literally just clicked in my head how chain blocking works. So clear to me know. Wow. Preciate it Cali man
I need a spell speed video!
This video helped me out so much because before watching this video I didn’t know what a chain link is!
Cali years later, I still think this video is great. I’m getting back into the game because I have not played as much since the pandemic. I was on a rampage with my HEROs.
Do more video of these I need to be Stronk!!!
.....in knowledge
The taped lightswitch on the left side bothered me more than it should.
But it was a great video! Thank you for that
Chances are the switch is attached to the plug his PC is plugged into.
2 mins and 39 seconds in and you've blown my mind with looking at chain links as a conversation, fantastic way to look at it - I'm new to Yugioh and that gives me a lot of perspective.

Seeing how much your setup and channel has grown since this video is awesome.
1:28 - You mean like _Instants_ or cards with _Flash_ in _Magic: The Gathering?_
That’s exactly what I though lmao.
Or ANY activated ability in MTG
I would love a spell speed video! This has helped me a lot! Keep up the great, and educational content!

Awesome video. You could make a video about the difference between When and If
Yes😍
That's actually a very good way to put it. Spell speed that is
I'd like a more advanced version of this video
Awesome conversation analogy
I can think of at least one game that has a VERY similar game play mechanic which is Magic.
This is why I ringed the bell! CONTENT.

It is not.

Final Fantasy tcg uses chain link as well but it’s the only game I’ve game across that uses it other then Yu-Gi-Oh!
Hey yes plz need it Calieffect
Useful video ty!
That Blue Tongue tho! xp

But what about detaching graff as an xyz material to activate dante, and then barbar and cir are sent to the grave simutaneously. Where does graff fall then
MTG has mechanics that are very very similar to chain links. Stacks, responses and whatnot
So what cards chainblock ash blossom when discarded by Knightmare Mermaid
If dragoons is discarded it's chain link 1 right?
If a danger monster is discarded, what chain link is it?
If Knightmare Iblee is used for the summon of knightmare iblee, what chain link is it?
Just so you know there is a chart it's called the fast effect timing chart
And I just thoroughly explained it.

Hello!
My name is Eduardo, I'm from Brazil and I'm a big fan of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" since the game was released.
I play for fun with my friends but we usually have doubts about the rules of the game. My question is:
In the OFFICIAL RULEBOOK (Version 10), in page 51 is said:
"Actions which cannot be Chained to
You can only create a Chain by responding to the activation of a card of effect. Summoning a monster, Tributing, changing a monster's battle position and paying costs are not effect activations and therefore you cannot respond to those actions using a Chain."

Thank you!
In yugioh if the card says that it can be activated in a particular condition or moment it can be used even if normal rules do not allow it *as long as you fulfill those conditions*
If I normal summon Gem Knight Garnet you can trap hole him even if his summon does not start a chain
Another example , evenly matched is a very powerful card that, at the end of a battle phase, will force both players to control the same number of cards, but it is a trap and can only be used after it was set for a turn, but is says that it can be activated from the hand if you control no cards
If i would activate isol to dump cursed bamboo would cursed then protect my isol from being Ash blossomed accoriding to S.E.G.O.C?
