To look at (
After looking at cards, they are returned to their original location and position. If cards in the Graveyard or that are banished are being looked at, their order must not be changed. If the top card of the Main Deck is being looked at due to being face-up (such as with "Convulsion of Nature" or "Pharaoh's Treasure"), it may not be picked up to look at it.
Cards that can be looked at[]
At any time during the Duel, either player may look at cards that are public knowledge, being the following:
- Face-up cards on the field
- Xyz Materials
- A monster that would be Summoned
- Cards in Graveyards
- Face-up banished cards
- Face-up cards in Extra Decks
- A face-up card on the top of either player's Main Deck
- Any card that is currently being revealed
In addition, players may also look at cards in their own hand, face-down cards they control, and all cards in their Extra Deck.
Both player's Main Decks and face-down banished cards may not be looked at unless a card effect allows the player to do so.
Some cards may prevent the player from looking at cards in specific zones. For example, "Question" prevents the opponent from looking at cards in the Graveyard of its controller until it has resolved.
