Using Cards
9-1Using Cards
9-1-1Using a card refers to a rule where an Option card's [Main] effect is activated. When using a card, its color requirements must be met. For details, refer to 4-19 "Color Requirements")
9-1-2If an Option card is used, its [Main] effect will activate. Other effects and rule checks don't interrupt the period between use and activation.
9-1-3When using an Option card, if its [Main] effect has conditions, the effect can be activated when the conditions are met. (Example: If an effect reads "[Main] By trashing 1 card in your hand, delete 1 of your opponent's level 6 or lower Digimon. If this effect trashed a card with the [Seven Great Demon Lords] trait, place this card in the battle area," and you trash a card from your hand after using that Option card, you delete 1 of your opponent's level 6 or lower Digimon.)
9-1-4A used Option card is treated as not being in any area during the period from activation of its 1st [Main] effect until it's been resolved.
9-1-5A used Option card is immediately trashed as pending processing as soon as the timing when its 1st [Main] effect has been resolved, unless that Option card is considered to be placed in an area. Other effects and rule checks don't interrupt the period between [Main] effect activation and trashing. (For details, refer to 18-1 "Pending Processing")
9-1-6Immediate-type effects that trigger when a card would be used will trigger immediately after the card is revealed during the use procedure. (For details, refer to 15-8-5 "Immediate-Type Effects")
9-1-7Cards are used 1 at a time. Multiple cards can't be used at the same time.
9-1-8If a card can no longer be used after revealing it as part of the procedure for using it, the revealed card is returned to its original location. This isn't considered removal from 2 an area. In addition, the memory doesn't move when a card can't be used because its cost can't be paid.
9-1-9The processing for using an Option card is performed using the following procedure.
9-1-9-1The player declares use of a card and reveals the Option card to be used.
9-1-9-2The specified use cost is paid. (For details, refer to 2-7 "Use Costs")
9-1-9-3When use of an Option card is resolved, its 1st [Main] effect is activated.
