Anti-support
Anti-support is an unofficial term for an interaction in which a card specifically affects cards with a particular property in some way beneficial to the player who possesses the supported card. For example, "System Down" banishes all Machine-Type monsters from the opponent's field and Graveyard, thus it anti-supports Machine-Type monsters.
Anti-support can be applied to archetypes, Attributes, Types, or monsters with a certain Level, Rank, ATK, or DEF, among other groups of cards.
Support is not just limited to card effects; support can also occur in activation requirements, costs, Materials, conditions, and Summoning procedures.
Exclusions, such as the Xyz Materials for "Number F0: Utopic Future" being required not to be "Number" monsters, are not considered anti-support. However, Unclassified Effects that require that there can only be 1 monster with a particular property on the field or a side of the field, such as "Earthbound Immortal" and "Kaiju" monsters, are considered anti-support.
If a card instead affects the possessor of a card(s) with the specified property in a positive way, the interaction is instead referred to as support. For example, "The Warrior Returning Alive" adds 1 Warrior-Type monster from its controller's Graveyard to their hand, thus it supports Warrior-Type monsters.
