What happens if a monster's attack drops below zero in Yu-Gi-Oh?

A monster's ATK can never drop below 0. If a card effect would reduce a monster's ATK below 0, it simply becomes 0.


Yu-Gi-Oh card game ATK vs DEF?

Well, a lack of specifics prompts me to tell everything. Each monster has a specific amount of ATK (Attack Points) and DEF (Defense Points), depicted at the bottom of the card. Generally, the points will be multiples of 100, though there are several that end in 50 and a few with other numbers, but those were only released in the early stages of the game; aside from their re-releases, there haven't been any since. Also, no card released has had any basic ATK or DEF below 0 or above 5000.A monster with ATK and DEF of less than 1000 is considered weak; between 1000 and 2000 is average; between 2000 and 3000 is powerful; between 3000 and 4000 is exceptionally powerful; anything higher...well, let's just say you don't want to mess with anything like that if you're not an experienced Duelist, and usually not even then.Generally, monsters with 0 ATK have a strong DEF and/or an effect that can compensate, and likewise, monsters with 0 DEF will have a strong ATK and/or an effect. And for monsters that have 0 ATK and DEF, they ALWAYS have a special effect to help them out. Well, okay, not always, but at last count there were only three exceptions, and their usefulness is revealed when combined with certain cards that they're meant for.Now, in terms of gameplay; first, bear in mind that the following descriptions are the basic rules of the game, but there is at least one exception to almost everything mentioned here by means of a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster card.Monsters can be Normal Summoned in face-up Attack Position or Set in face-down Defense Position. Monsters can change their positions once per turn. Face-down Defense Position monsters are flipped face-up when they switch to Attack Position. Face-up monsters cannot be flipped face-down. Monsters can only attack if they're in Attack Position. Monsters cannot change into Defense Position in the same turn that they attack or the same turn they are Summoned. Monsters in Attack Position are placed vertically, right-side up in the perspective of the card's controller. Monsters in Defense Position are placed horizontally.When a monster attacks another monster in Attack Position, one of three things happens:1. If the attacking monster has greater ATK than the monster it attacks, the attacked monster is destroyed and the controller of that monster loses Life Points equal to the difference between the two monsters' ATK.2. If the attacking monster has less ATK than the monster it attacks, the attacking monster is destroyed and the controller of that monster loses Life Points equal to the difference between the two monsters' ATK.3. If the attacking monster has equal ATK to the monster it attacks, both monsters are destroyed and neither player loses Life Points.When a monster attacks a monster in Defense Position, one of three things happens:1. If the attacking monster has greater ATK than the DEF of the monster it attacks, the attacked monster is destroyed and the controller of that monster loses no Life Points.2. If the attacking monster has less ATK than the DEF of the monster it attacks, neither monster is destroyed and the controller of the attacking monster loses Life Points equal to the difference between the attacking monster's ATK and the attacked monster's DEF.3. If the attacking monster has equal ATK to the DEF of the monster it attacks, neither monster is destroyed and neither player loses Life Points.One last note: if a monster attacks a face-down Defense Position monster, it is flipped face-up, but stays in Defense Position.And that is everything you need to know about ATK and DEF.


Can copycat copy Winded Dragon of Ra's attack and defense?

Copycat copies the chosen monster's Original ATK and DEF. Ra's effect only changes its Current ATK, not Original ATK, so Copycat will end up copying the ?/? only, which will equate to 0/0 if involved in battle, etc.


If hamon lord OS striking thunder is destroyed in defense position does it make all damage decrease to 0?

Unless the effect of a card states otherwise, when anydefense position card is attacked by an attack stronger then your defense, the difference is not subtracted from your life points.

Can you place tokens on face-down monsters and in the case of Venom Swamp Venom monsters do not specify face-up or face-down so how would you be sure when the monster would be destroyed?

Tokens cannot be placed on face-down monsters.When "Venom Swamp" activates all face-up monsters that do not have "Venom" in their card name receive one Venom Counterand for each counter, the monster loses 500 ATK. Once a monster's attack is reduced to 0 by Venom Counters it is automatically destroyed. (For example: 1700 ATK monster with 3 Venom Counters loses 1500 ATK and its ATK is now 200. Once it receives another Venom Counter, it's ATK will be reduced to 0 and it's destroyed.)If a monster's original ATK is 0 and it receives a Venom Counter, since its ATK did not become 0 because it already was, it will not be destroyed by the effects of Venom Counters."Venom" monsters can only place Venom Counters on face-up monsters too.


In the Yugioh trading card game are tokens rare?

nobody knows if there are a token monster card. there r and they have 0 atk and def effect is it has the effect of wat the moster says like dandylion and horseytail

Is the number of monsters you use to summon The Winged Dragon of Ra multiplied by 1000?

Ra's attack and defence is equal to the combined attack and defence of the monsters tributed for its summon. You can also tribute other monsters to increase Ra's attack and defence by that monster. When Ra is summoned from the graveyard (monster reborn etc.) it has 0 attack and defence as no monsters were tributed for it


Worst Yu-Gi-Oh card?

Can you use Magical Hats' effect to set two Wild Tornado's in order to use their effect in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Yes. Cards like Wild Tornado can be Set as a monster by the effect of Magical Hats, and when Magical Hats destroys them at the end of the Battle Phase, their effect will activate.Wild Tornado must be destroyed while Set though. If it is attacked, it will flip into a 0/0 monster and be destroyed while face-up. So a Wild Tornado destroyed that way will not activate.


In yugioh if a monster with 0 atk attacks opponents Lifepoints is that considered battle dmg or no?

For an attack to be considered 'successful', or for any effects that trigger from battle damage to activate, at least 1 point of damage must be dealt.If somehow a Spirit Reaper has had its ATK reduced to 0 (Burden of the Mighty is one way), then it will not make the opponent discard a card when it attacks. Even though it doesn't say it has to deal damage, the direct attack is not a successful one if no damage is dealt.Likewise, 'Mucus Yolk' has an effect that makes it gain 1000ATK when it deals battle damage to the opponent, but has 0 attack initially. It cannot gain the 1000ATK if it attacks with just 0 ATK, you need to boost it first, and then it gains ATK itself, for later turns.


Is copycat a real Yugioh card?

Yes, there is a real card called Copycat. It was originally released as one of four promo cards given away to people who collected three vouchers from Shonen Jump Magazine. It is a Lv1 LIGHT Spellcaster/Effect monster with ATK 0 and DEF 0, and an effect that reads "When this card is Summoned: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; this card's ATK and DEF become equal to that monster's original ATK and DEF."
