Forum:Targeting Troubles...

Ok, so first I looked at the list of properties page, then I went to pages like Offerings to the Doomed and other cards that obviously do target and couldn't find a property.

So I searched the forums, found a page on monster reborn and a page posted by user 108.5.143.94 who was basically told to f off, anyways.

After no luck searching the forums I looked at the wiki page called target, and to be perfectly honest I think I'm jsut as confused as 108.5.143.94.

The page seemed really vague, words like "usually," "most," "exceptions," and "almost always."

Taken from the discussed page:

"Effects that automatically choose what they are going to affect, like "Drillroid" usually do not target. There are exceptions, however: "Sakuretsu Armor" and "Dimensional Prison" do target, but without input from the player. Most Counter Trap Cards do not target for the same reason - most can only affect the effect directly beneath it in the Chain, so there is no selection, so the effect does not target.

If the card's text says "target", then the effect almost always targets. If the card's text says "select", or "designate" then the effect usually targets, although there are some exceptions. When in doubt, check the card's rulings to see whether or not it targets."

Well I'm not intending on studying Yu-Gi-Oh! like someone at law school studies cases, it's a hobby.

It'd really help if there were a more clear definition/concept of targeting, or at least some sort of compiled list of cards that do target.

So, question: Is there a page on here like that? Thanks in advance.Dragula42 (talk • contribs) 20:51, July 17, 2011 (UTC)Dragula42
