'''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 Attribute is greatly under-represented, 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]]" 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 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. 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.

Effect-wise, WIND monsters are strongly associated with non-destruction removal, such as [[Bounce|bouncing]] or [[spin]]ning. They are also strongly associated with effects that remove Spell and Trap cards.

WIND archetypes include: "[[Harpie]]", "[[Mist Valley]]", "[[Mecha Phantom Beast]]", "[[Dragunity]]", "[[Gusto]]", "[[Yosenju]]" and "[[Spirit Beast]]s".

In some card effects (e.g. "[[Greatfly]]") and in certain video games, the WIND Attribute is positioned as the opposite of the [[EARTH]] Attribute.

==Supporting Cards==

==Examples==
−
It is very likely that 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 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.
