This article is about the type of marker. For the type of Trap Card see Counter Trap Cards

A Counter is a generic way, usually employed on Monster Cards, to note how many times a limited effect has been used.

Here's a list of cards that use Counters:

A-Counter

A-Counter means "Alien Counter". Certain card effects depend on these to exist on opponent's monsters to work, and when an "Alien" monster battles with a monster that has an A-Counter, the monster with the A-Counter loses 300 ATK and DEF during Damage Calculation.

Here's a list of cards that use A-Counters:

Also See: Alien.

Bushido Counter

Chronicle Counter

Clock Counter

A Clock Counter is a specific type of Counter that can only be placed on "Clock Tower Prison". There are only two other cards that can support Clock Counters: "Eternal Dread", and an Anime-only card known as "Destiny Hero - Dread Servant" used by Aster Phoenix in the GX anime.

Crystal Counter

Fog Counter

Fog Counters are counters that are placed on most Cloudian monsters. Fog Counters can be removed from some of them to destroy various cards on the field, but they can be used to do many other effects. You can also destroy them with Diamond-Dust Cyclone to draw a card for each 4 counters destroyed by Diamond-Dust Cyclone.

Here's a list of cards that use Fog Counters:

Ice Counter

An Ice Counter 「アイス・カウンター」 is a counter only released in the OCG. In the manga, monster(s) with 1 or more "Ice Counter"(s) cannot change their Battle Position.

Here's a list of cards that use Ice Counters:

Spell Counter

Spell Counters are represented (the majority of the monsters are Spellcasters) on a card by either a coin, die, or other established method of tracking the counter status.

Cards like Breaker the Magical Warrior get a Spell Counter when Normal Summoned, for example, otherwise Spell Counters are added by a Spell Card resolving, like Mythical Beast Cerberus or Royal Magical Library.

Here's a list of cards that use Spell Counters:

Venom Counter

A card with a Venom Counter on it has its ATK decreased by 500 points ONLY while Venom Swamp is on the field. Venom Counters do nothing without Venom Swamp on the field. If a monster is reduced to 0 ATK points while Venom Swamp is out, it is destroyed (the Venom Counters can come from either Venom Swamp or one of the Venom monsters).

Here's a list of cards that use Venom Counters:
