'''WIND''' ({{Ruby|風|かぜ}} ''Kaze'') monsters are often flying monsters, such as the "[[Harpie Lady|Harpie Ladies]]", perhaps one of the most famous WIND monsters among the game as well as in the anime. This Compared to the other Attributes, this Attribute is greatly under-the least representedamong them, but the most common type associated with it is the [[Winged Beast]]-[[Type]], though [[Insect]], [[Fairy]], [[Dragon]], and [[Psychic]] are not uncommon. Notable Wind monsters include "[[Slate Warrior]]", "[[Raiza the Storm Monarch]]", "[[Raiza the Mega Monarch]]", "[[Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms]]", "[[Windrose the Elemental Lord]]", "[[Stardust Dragon]]", "[[Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack]]" and the "[[Armed Dragon]]" [[LV Monsters|LV]] series. Wind is usually thought of as the opposite of [[EARTH]], though there is no direct advantage other than in certain video games.
The strategy with WIND monsters is difficult to define, and not many players typically run [[Wind Deck]]s, but a common theme with most (in the past) involve the removal of the opponent's [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s, though some are designed to take advantage of an empty back row instead of destroying it, such as "[[Sonic Shooter]]" and "[[Simorgh, Bird of Divinity]]". Generally speaking, WIND monsters usually involve either player's hands, and they can balance and control a player's [[Hand Advantage]] to [[Field Advantage]] ratio. Recently, they also have designed to have swarming capabilities and securing their field presences, along with wide-range of effects. Most of them doesn't have much in terms of ATK power, instead, they relies on their synergy to power-up and support each other.
Also there are many cards for the removal and/or destruction of Spell and Trap Cards that make reference to the Natural Phenomena related to the Wind like "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", "[[Twister]]", "[[Typhoon]]", "[[Tornado]]", "[[Dust Tornado]]", "[[Heavy Storm]]", "[[Cyclone Boomerang]]", "[[Malevolent Catastrophe]]" etc. along with "[[Harpie's Feather Duster]]".
WIND archetypes include: "[[Harpie]]", "[[Mist Valley]]", "[[Mecha Phantom Beast]]", "[[Dragunity]]", "[[Gusto]]", "[[Yosenju]]", "[[Ritual Beast]]s", "[[Speedroid]]s" and "[[Majespecter]]".WIND monsters also have their own Structure Deck, ''[[Structure Deck 8: Lord of the Storm]]'', and also the ''[[Structure Deck: Dragunity Legion]]'' which is comprised of WIND monsters from the aforementioned "Dragunity" archetype.
"[[Majestic Star Dragon]]" and "[[Shooting Star Dragon]]" are currently the two highest attack WIND attribute monsters with 3800 and 3300 ATK respectively.
==Supporting Cards==
It is very likely that Wind WIND monsters have the least number of supporting cards, compared to the other Attributes (except [[DIVINE]]). In terms of Spell and Trap support cards, they come nowhere close to the other Attributes, despite the generally low amount of Attribute-related Spell and Trap cards that exist and the resulting low standards for having a number of these cards devoted to any given Attribute family. But a few of them include: "[[Flying Kamakiri 1|Flying Kamakiri #1]]", "[[Bladefly]]", "[[Silpheed]]", and "[[Garuda the Wind Spirit]]". "[[Rising Air Current]]" is a [[Field Spell Card]] which increases the [[ATK]] of Wind WIND monsters by 500, and "[[MountainDivine Wind of Mist Valley]] is similar in increasing " allows the player to swarm the field with WIND monsters, while "[[Winged BeastShrine of Mist Valley]] types" can replace them when they' re destroyed by card effects. "[[ATK]]s by 200, as well as that Quill Pen of [[DragonGulldos]] and [[Thunder]] types, which also have a fair number of " can recycle WIND monsters. from your Graveyard to return 1 card on the field to the hand, and "[[Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi]]" is another Wind support that aims currently their best disruption card, which able to return its target to take the theme bottom of returning cards a step further, the deck by instead returning them to the Deck and actually costing the opponent representation on the fieldTributing 1 WIND monster.
