| − | '''WIND''' 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 Attribute is greatly under-represented, but the most common type associated with it is the [[Winged Beast]]-[[Type]], though [[Insect]], [[Fairy]], and [[Dragon]] are not uncommon. Other Wind monsters include "[[Slate Warrior]]", "[[Raiza the Storm Monarch]]", "[[Stardust Dragon]]" 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 involve the removal of the opponent's [[Spell Cards|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. Some also have swarming capabilities. Taking advantage of this effect, however, is usually rendered somewhat difficult by the low [[original ATK]] of most WIND monsters. This disadvantage is somewhat balanced by the common synergy benefits that WIND monsters give each other, such as "[[Harpie Lady 1]]", or "[[Bladefly]]".

| − |
| |
| − | 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]]", "[[Tornado]]", "[[Dust Tornado]]", "[[Heavy Storm]]", "[[Cyclone Boomerang]]", "[[Malevolent Catastrophe]]" etc. along with "[[Harpie's Feather Duster]]".

| − | Some WIND Archetypes include: "[[Harpies]]", "[[Armed Dragon]]", "[[Mist Valley]]", "[[Dragunity]]" and "[[Gusto]]".
| |
| − | 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 monsters have the least number of supporting cards of all Attributes. 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 monsters by 500, and [[Mountain]] is similar in increasing [[Winged Beast]] types' [[ATK]]s by 200, as well as that of [[Dragon]] and [[Thunder]] types, which also have a fair number of WIND monsters. "[[Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi]]" is another Wind support that aims to take the theme of returning cards a step further, by instead returning them to the Deck and actually costing the opponent representation on the field.
