Climax Card

Climax cards are special cards that each deck can only have up to 8 of. Climax Cards allow a player to cancel all the damage he would receive from an attack if revealed while taking damage. The turn player can also play it down during the Climax Phase of the turn, however, as a rule, only one Climax Card can be played per turn and when played, must be sent to the Waiting Room during the End Phase of the turn.

When played, Climax Card's effect can be either of type 【Automatic】 or 【Continuous】. If the type is 【Automatic】, the effect is considered invoked and resolved on the spot, and even if the Climax Card were to be removed prematurely in the turn via other card's effect the duration of the Climax Card's effect is not shorten. However, if the type is 【Continuous】, once the source of the effect, in this case the Climax Card, leaves the playing field, the effect is immediately cut and nullified.
