I Can't Keep Count Of the Total Count Of All Those Counters
You Have Been Exiled Boy, Turn Away From Me
Wait... It DOES THAT?
400

This card is gonna burn you for each card you control; Ouch! - luckily it didn't get banned for causing ruling nightmares like this card

What is Secret BLast Turn

400

This powerful Synchro monster can negate any Spell or Trap, but make sure you have a WATER monster in GY before you try!

What is Adamcipator Risen - Dragite

400

Putting this counter on my opponents Ryzeal monster can stop them in their tracks. I see you special summoned EXT Ryzeal, too bad that Ice Ryzeal is still level 1.

What is Predator Counter/s

400

Yes, I know you control Chaos Hunter, but I can still activate this card as it makes you banish them, not me. 

What is Evenly Matched

400

Now banned, this summonable Omni negate has a 2nd effect often unused in the Standby Phase to... send itself to GY... weird

What is Baronne De Fleur

800

This card allows me to draw 2 more cards from my deck to my hand! - while this card can make a monster go to 0 ATK and negate it. And, if this monster is destroyed, it'll Dark Hole the board, but watch out, it might be coming back!

What is Pot of Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon

800

Dinh-Kha Bui crushed a YCS with quite the rogue deck that seemed to have the perfect answer to TOSS format, that was, until this monster got banned. 

What is Prank-Kids Meow-Meow-Mu

800

I can remove 4 of this counter to search my Deck or GY for a monster and it isn't once per turn. No wonder they limited that spell. 

What is Bushido Counter/s

800

You shouldn't have used that Ash Blossom. Now I get to use this monster to look at the top 5 cards of your deck and banish 1 face-down.

What is Kashtira Ogre

800

Popularized during Snake-Eye format, this powerful monster was often used to change your opponents monsters' battle position however you liked, but what's this nonsense about battle phase and co-links?

What is Worldsea Dragon Zealantis

1200

Give this card to your opponent by tributing 2 monsters, but no more Normal Summon - which won't impact this card, as it places itself in the backrow, before summoning and searching the field spell

What is Lava Golem that Guards the Millennium Treasures

1200

When you need to Rank down or Rank up to a 3 or 5, this card will do the trick, it might even be used in an OTK strategy

What is Raider's Knight

1200

If I can get 3 of this counter onto my pendulum monster, I can use any monster to make a Link 1! That sounds amazing!

What is Resonance Counter/s

1200

I wonder how many of my hand and/or extra deck I need to lose for this 1 monster... At least 5? Thats crazy

What is Eater of Millions

1200

So if you don't use this monsters 'on Synchro Summon' effect to nuke the entire board, including itself, you're telling me that there is an ignition effect on it, that switches a Defense position monster to attack and makes its' ATK 0... weird. 

What is Black Rose Dragon

1600

This card tried to be Pot of Greed, but just doesn't work... unless you have a teammate - who might be using this card that Special Summons itself from GY if your opponent has more cards in their GY than you do

What is Ancient Leafplace Plaice

1600

Did you just attack me? Well, guess I better burn you for the same damage when this card hits the field. Or should I just gain the life back... decisions

What is Mahaama the Fairy Dragon

1600

DAILY DOUBLE

DAILY DOUBLE

1600

5000 ATK, Unaffected by card effects AND can't be destroyed by battle. Makes sense it has that steep End Phase maintanence cost. 

What is Five-Headed Link Dragon

1600

Aha! I've got you now graveyard deck! Enjoy this floodgate. Wait, what do you mean you can ash this? 

What is Macro Cosmos

2000

While you have no monsters, this card can Summon itself from your hand. Thank God, LVL7's are hard to summon - but be cautious, if my LP are lower than yours and I control a Gate Guardian monster, this spell might be your demise! 

What is Kashtira FenRiryoku Guardian

2000

I see that your monster has less ATK than my XYZ monster, I guess this quick-play spell is about to turn your monster into XYZ material

What is XYZ Import

2000

Everytime your opponent Special Summons a monster, the level 1 BEAST monster you control gets 1 of these counters AND it can remove them to pop a monster your opponent controls! If only it was a Quick Effect. 

What is Nut Counter/s

2000

If this Link monster dies, it can bring itself back as material on an XYZ... neat! And it can tag out a monster, for one from deck with the same name? How good. If only 'tag out' didn't mean 'banish face-down' in this example. 

What is Wind-Up Zenmaintenance

2000

This card specials itself from GY by sending a card from hand to GY, but it'll banish itself after. At least you can use the tuner twice. Wonder why no-one uses the second effect to search for a monster whenever it goes to GY...
