Wedge Counter (楔（くさび）カウンター Kusabi Kauntā) is a type of counter used exclusively by the Synchro Monsters "Blackwing Armor Master" and its retrained counterpart "Blackwing Full Armor Master". It debuted in Crimson Crisis with the former, which can place it on an opponent's monster it battled with. Then it can be removed to reduce that monster's ATK and DEF to 0 until the end of the turn. These counters are depicted as sharpened stones with a point at one end.

Duelist Pack: Legend Duelist 3 introduced the following:

• "Blackwing Full Armor Master", which utilies Wedge Counter differently, as it automatically places one on every monster on the opponent's field after it activates an effect, and once per turn it can take control of a monster with a Wedge Counter.
• "Blackwing - Auster the South Wind", which place 1 Wedge Counter on each face-up monster the opponent controls that does not already have one.

There can be only be a maximum of one Wedge Counter on each monster, regardless of which card places it. Wedge Counters were the first counters to be represented by an official card: "Wedge Counter".
