{{rename|Level 4 ATK and DEF conventions}}[[File:GeneWarpedWarwolf-BP01-EN-C-1E.png|thumb|170px|"[[Gene-Warped Warwolf]]", one of the very few 2000 ATK Level 4 Normal Monsters to break the "Rule of 2000 ATK".]]
The ATK and DEF of a Level 4 or lower [[Monster Card|monster]] tend to be limited by two unwritten rules: the '''"2000 ATK Rule"''' and the''' "2300 DEF Rule"'''. These rules 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.
