An Upgrade Spell Card is a unique that is essential for the Upgrade Summoning of Upgrade Monsters. It is a card and is placed in the Upgrade Zone, apart from the. Like and, they remain on the field after activation.

Upgrade Spell Cards are significantly different from regular Spell Cards, aside from the Zone from they can only be activated in. First, they have Alignments, the same indicator for Upgrade Monsters. When Upgrade Summoning an Upgrade Monster, should an Upgrade Spell be used as one of the Upgrade Materials, its Alignment must be the same as the Alignment of the Upgrade Monster to be Upgrade Summoned.

Two other indicators exclusive to Upgrade Spell Cards are the Grade and the Margin, the same indicators exclusive to Upgrade Monsters. Both the Grade and the Margin determine if the Upgrade Spell can be activated alongside the card currently occupying the other Upgrade Zone, based on its, , or. The Margin determines this by calculating the Upgrade Spell’s own Grade and the value of its Margin, which is either Positive, Negative, or Neutral.

If the game state is open, a player can activate an Upgrade Spell in their other Upgrade Zone only if the card in their other Upgrade Zone meets the requirements, based on both the Margin calculation and the Alignment. However, if both of the player's Upgrade Zones are unoccupied, the player can activate an Upgrade Spell, regardless of the Alignment or Margin.

Similar to Pendulum Monsters, some Upgrade Spells have an Upgrade Effect, which is written in a separate text box located above the card description box. In addition to the Upgrade Effect, this box also lists the Upgrade Monster's Alignment and its Margin. The Upgrade Effect determines the additional effect(s) the newly-Summoned Upgrade Monster will receive, if any.

The card description box for regular Spell Cards is reserved if a certain card has to be in the other Upgrade Zone in order to be activated, or will require a condition for the card in the other Upgrade Zone in order to remain active. If neither is the case, the box is left empty.
