can it have X000 for ATK and DEF and have a effect like Increase the ATK and DEF of this monster by 1000 for each Light monster card on the field (including this card),

[Tyrant Phoenix]

The max attack and defense you can put on a card is 9999 each. You could also put in the "infinity sign." There are no requirements, but you do must look into other real cards to see what counts as being "Balanced". For instance, making a level 4 monster with 9999 ATK is probably the worse, unbalanced thing you can do.

 

Let me elaborate on an example. Let's say you want a monster who every time it destroys a monster, it discards a card from your opponent's hand. Let's make this balanced now. If you want a level 4 or lower monster, it'll probably have much lower attack, 1500 and no more. And it must destroy a monster by battle and send it to the Graveyard. If you want a level 6 or 5 monster, make it a 2000 ATK or lower. The latter follows. If you desire to add more beneficial effects, you must also counter this with effects or stats that would be a requirement to be met. If you need anymore additional help, please check out the Sticky I posted in this forum.

(P.S You'd either make the attack of the monster 0, have a number higher than 0, or make it a "?". Then state that for this card gains 500 ATK or the likes for each face-up LIGHT monster you control/on the field,

Thanks everyone

The only way to make a balanced card is to give it some sort of balance with pros and cons, Effect-wise.

 

Such as: It can destroy 1 monster on your opponent's field and steal its ATK, but must be removed from play for the rest of the duel.

[Code~Red]

Usually, the max amount of ATK and DEF is 5000. There is only one card with 5000 ATK/DEF. INF only applies to God Cards and ? applies to cards that gain ATK/DEF through a card effect.

 

Hope that helps.

^^ Yeah' date=' if a card has 5000 ATK it has to have a MASSIVE drawback. Like 'During your End Phase, Remove this card from Play'.

I was thinking more like a very hard summoning condition

[PenguinZ]

max attack is 9999 or INF. for it to be balenced get ideas from other cards.

[Code~Red]

No problem.

[Luna Lovegood]

When they say max attack is 9999, that's just because the card maker can only display 4 digits. I recommend never going above 5000, and even then, only for the most powerful cards. Don't try and go as high as possible, then try and balance it out. It doesn't work.

yes.

 

Though just having an ATK of "?" makes more sence IMO
