Mainly used by [[Spellcaster]]sCards that use Spell Counters typically have the Spell Counter symbol somewhere in their artwork (such as on their clothing or accessories). However, some cards (such as "[[Breaker the Magical WarriorOld Vindictive Magician]]", who gets a Spell Counter when [[Normal Summon]]ed, ) feature Spell Counters are often added by in their own artwork but do not have any effects, like how related to them; other cards (such as "[[Mythical Beast CerberusDark Red Enchanter]] or [[Royal Magical Library]] get ") do not feature Spell Counters when [[Spell Cards]] resolvein their artwork despite their effects relying on them.

However, cards use Spell Counters in a wide variety of ways, not just for removing as a cost. Some cards (such as "[[Pitch-Black Power Stone]]") have effects that allow them to place Spell Counters on other cards, with some cards being able to place Spell Counters on other cards despite not being able to have them placed on themselves (such as "[[Magical Plant Mandragola]]"). == Gallery ==<gallery>DuelAcademySpellCounter.png | A Spell Counter as it appears in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!
