Monster



Monster Cards can be played in either face-up Attack Position or face-down Defense Position.

Monster Cards have two numbers on the bottom that usually matter, ATK and DEF. ATK only applies when in Attack Position, and DEF only applies when in Defense Position during the Battle Phase (except in cases such as Total Defense Shogun), but certain cards may still call upon either of these monster is a monster with "ORK" in its card name.values no matter what position the monster is in. Monsters also have an Attribute, Level, and a Type. Skilled manipulation of these variables will allow you to distort ATK and DEF to your advantage.

When a card's text reads a word or phrase in quotation marks followed by monster, it means a monster with the word or phrase in its name. e.g. a "ORK"
