{{Unofficial terminology}}
'''Anti-support''' is an unofficial term for an interaction in which a card specifically affects cards with a particular property used in some way harmful to the player who ''[[possessTCG]]es the anti-supported card; this name is to contrast with '' community for [[support]], which describes effects ing interactions that are beneficial to that card's harm the possessor. For example, "[[System Down]]" [[banish]]es all [[Machine]] monsters from of the opponent's field and Graveyard, thus it anti-supports Machine monsters. Anti-support can be applied to [[archetype]]s, [[Attribute]]s, [[Type]]s, [[Level]]s, [[Rank]]s, [[ATK]], [[DEF]], and other groups of cards. Anti-support is not just limited to [[affected card effect]]s; anti-support can also occur in [[activation requirement]]s (e.g. "[[Ally of Justice Core Destroyer]]"), [[material]]s (e.g. "[[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]]"), [[condition]]s (e.g. "[[Blackwing - Breeze the Zephyr]]"), and [[Summoning procedure]]s (e.g. "[[Ally of Justice Cosmic Gateway]]"). There Because there is no strict definition of what counts as being harmful to a player, as virtually every negative effect could be construed as beneficial or harmful in some circumstance. For example, "System Down" interacts with an opponent's "[[Number C1: Numeron Chaos Gate Sunya]]" in a way that is beneficial to the opponent. Generally, a card is considered anti-support if it can be considered to be harmful under normal circumstances. For example, decreasing ATK/DEF is considered anti-support while increasing ATK/DEF is considered support. A single effect can be considered both support and anti-support if it can be used in both ways (e.g. "[[Chimeratech Fortress Dragon]]" is considered both support and anti-support for [[Machine]] monsters). [[Field-Unique|field-unique]] and [[Control only one|side-unique]] effects (effect that require that there be only 1 monster with a particular property on the field or supports are identified subjectively on a side of the field), such the effects of "[[Earthbound Immortal]]" and "[[Kaiju]]" monsters, are considered anticase-support. Exclusions, such as the [[Xyz Material]]s for "[[Number F0: Utopic Future]]" excluding "[[Number]]" monsters or "[[Ravenous Vendread]]" excluding "[[Vendread Scavenger]]", are not considered anti-support. ==Examples==<!-- this is not by any means meant to be exhaustive; we don't need e.g. one example per Type -->* "[[Goblin Pothole Squad]]" provides anti-support for the "[[Trap Hole (archetype)|Trap Hole]]" archetype.* "[[Ally of Justice]]" monsters provide anti-support for [[LIGHT]] monsters.* "[[Last Day of Witch]]" provides anti-support for [[Spellcaster]]-[[Type]] monsters.* "[[Ritual Sealing]]" provides anti-support for [[Ritual Monster]]s.* "[[White Hole]]" provides anti-support for "[[Dark Hole]]"case basis.
