Changes: Rule of 3000 ATK and DEF

Revision as of 15:48, 24 August 2012

The Rule of 3000 ATK and DEF is a general rule that few monster cards have an original ATK or DEF of over 3000. Those that do typically have Special Conditions for being Summoned, to limit the cards. This rule is similar to the "Level 4 ATK and DEF Rules", however more flexible.

3000 ATK or more

"Super Conductor Tyranno", one of the few monsters with over 3000 Original ATK and no drawback.

A very small number of monsters with over 3000 ATK can be Normal Summoned without special conditions, and with only one exception ("Super Conductor Tyranno"), they have negative side effects that can hamper their usefulness. There are currently 244 monsters with over 3000 ATK.

Notably, all monsters with 3000 or higher ATK are usually the trump cards of their archetype or series: "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8" for the Horus LV monsters, "Volcanic Doomfire" for the "Volcanic" archetype, "Ancient Gear Golem" for the "Ancient Gear" archetype, "Judgment Dragon" for the "Lightsworn" archetype, "Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon" for the "Cloudian" archetype and "Vampire Genesis" for Zombies (just to name a few).

Monsters with 3000 ATK or more are usually used towards the end of a Duel, as a last resort (such as "Gladiator Beast Heraklinos" in a "Gladiator Beast" Deck), although sometimes the Deck's focus will be on summoning that card (commonly seen with "Valkyrion the Magna Warrior"). "Super Conductor Tyranno" is sometimes included in beatdown Decks, as they have very few ways of stopping extremely high ATK monsters.

"Neo Aqua Madoor" is a 1 Tribute 3000 DEF Normal Monster.

Monsters with 3000 DEF points are plenty, some with very low ATK and 1 Tribute (such as "Labyrinth Wall" and "Millennium Shield"). However, cards with over 3000 DEF points are rare and usually are good for both attacking and defending. There are currently 115 monsters with over 3000 DEF.
