It has been suggested that this article be merged with Conventions of 3000 ATK and DEF. (discuss) |
The ATK and DEF of a Level 4 or lower monster tend to be limited by two unwritten conventions: the "2000 ATK convention" and the "2200 DEF convention". These conventions state that for a Level 4 monster to have an ATK or DEF equal to or higher than these values, it must have some kind of negative effect or other restriction (such as being a Nomi monster). For example, "Meklord Emperor Wisel" is a Level 1 Monster Card that has 2500 ATK and DEF; however, it cannot be Normal Summoned or Set.

Convention of 2000 ATK[edit]
By convention, if a Level 4 or lower Normal Summon monster has more than 2000 ATK, it must have some negative effect or other restriction to limit its playability. If it has exactly 2000 ATK, it must either be a Normal Monster or have a negative effect.
For example, "Thunder King Rai-Oh" has 1900 ATK and is thus permitted to have a beneficial card effect. Conversely, "Panther Warrior" and "Zombyra the Dark" have 2000 and 2100 ATK respectively, and thus have the negative effects of requiring a Tribute in order to attack and losing ATK upon attacking, respectively.
Several Level 4 Normal Monsters have 2000 ATK, outclassing monsters with 2000 ATK and negative effects. They all have either 100 or 0 DEF. There are currently 17 such monsters: "Adventurer Token", "Alexandrite Dragon", "Alligator Token", "Bellcat Token", "Gene-Warped Warwolf", "Gunkan Suship Shari", "Jongleur-Ghoul Illusionist", "Leotron", "Lunalight Token", "Megalosmasher X", "Mekk-Knight Avram", "Mystery Shell Dragon", "Phantom Gryphon", "Photon Token", "Security Token", "Shiny Black "C" Squadder", "Zombino".
During the TCG reveal of "Alexandrite Dragon", the second ever such monster, it was described as having "the maximum possible ATK for a Level 4 Normal Monster."[1]
Level 4 or lower monsters can have effects that conditionally causes their ATK to exceed 2000 without needing to have negative effects, as the conditionality of their ATK is effectively a negative effect. For example, "Ghost Bird of Bewitchment" has an original ATK of 1300, but gains 1000 ATK if it is in the leftmost Monster Zone, giving it 2300 ATK without a negative effect.
Level 4 or lower Normal Summon monsters with 2000 ATK or more[edit]
There are currently 72 Level 4 or lower Main Deck monsters with 2000 ATK or more in the TCG/OCG.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Conventions of 1500 ATK and DEF[edit]
In Rush Duel, Level 4 or lower Normal Monsters typically can only have 1500 or less ATK/DEF, while Effect Monsters in the Main Deck can only have 1400 or less ATK/DEF. The only non-Legend Main Deck monsters to break this convention are "Transamu Rainac", "Voidvelgr Pale Rider", "Beta The Magnet Warrior", and "Elemental HERO Sparkman"; the unusually high ATK of "Rainac" is pointed out when it is Summoned in Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!.[2]
Prior to the release of "Cycliptron" in Maximum Ultra Evolution Pack, the highest DEF on a Level 4 or lower Normal Monster was 1400, although "Ichtyosterguard" previously appeared in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime with 1500 DEF. "Elemental HERO Clayman", "Alpha the Magnet Warrior", "Beta The Magnet Warrior" and "Gamma The Magnet Warrior" are the only exceptions. "Clayman" in particular is notable for having a whopping 2000 DEF - equal to the Legend Card "Mystical Elf".
