A Condition (called Rule Effect (ルール効果, Rūru Kōka) in the OCG) is an unofficial term for effect requirements for Effect Monsters.

There are two main types of Conditions: Conditions that are not considered to be an effect, which cannot be negated by cards like "Skill Drain"; and "Effects without classification", monster effects that are similar to Continuous Effects, but are applied universally just like the other main type of Conditions, and can be negated by cards like "Skill Drain".

"Conditions that cannot be negated"[]

These are unofficially referred to as "True Conditions" or just "Conditions" and are officially referred to as "This is not an effect" conditions.

"Conditions that can be negated"[]

Officially these are referred to as "This effect has no classification" effects, or simply referred to as Unclassified Effects.

They are similar to Continuous Monster Effects as they do not activate (start a chain) when they are applied, so cards that negate activations like "Divine Wrath" and "Debunk" cannot be used against them. However unlike Continuous Monster Effects they can be applied while the card is not face-up on the field, such as in the hand and Graveyard, or in the case of the "Multiple Tributers", while face-down on the field as well.

If "Dark Ruler Ha Des" destroys "Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World" by battle, "Grapha" cannot use its Special Summoning Procedure to Special Summon itself from the Graveyard.

  • "Summon monster effect" such as "Cyber Dragon", "Machina Fortress", "Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World" and "Familiar-Possessed - Aussa".
  • "Only 1 on field restrictions" (There can only be 1 face-up ___ on the field) such as "Malefic" monsters. Note that even if "Skill Drain" is negating the effect of a face-up "Malefic" monster on the field, you still cannot Summon another because the restriction is still active while the monster is in the hand.
  • "Only 1 per side restrictions" (You can only control 1 ___). Similar to the above restriction, you cannot Summon another copy even if "Skill Drain" is negating the one on the field.
  • "Substitute Effects" such as "Destiny Hero - Departed" (... remove it from play instead) and Union Monsters (... destroy this card instead)
  • "Material Costs":
    • "Multiple Tributers" such as "Kaiser Sea Horse" and "Double Coston"
    • "Ritual Substitutes" such as "Ritual Raven" and "Djinn of Rituals"
  • "Fusion Substitute Monsters" such as "Beastking of the Swamps" and "Mystical Sheep #1"
  • "Multiple Card-Types" such as "Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry" (This card is treated as a Normal Monster while in your hand.) and "Light and Darkness Dragon"
  • "Graveyard Conditions" such as "Phantom Beast Cross-Wing", "Harpie Queen" and "Elemental HERO Necroshade"
  • "Level Treat Effects" such as "Tuningware" and "Road Synchron"
