A-Counters?

[Master Hyperion]

So I bought new cards today and damn those are powerfull.

 

But there's 1 effect of a monster I want to ask about.

That monster is called Alien Psychic.

Its effect is that this monster is changed to into defense position when summoned.

Normal enough right?

But then comes the second effect of this card:

"Monsters with A-Counters cannot declare an attack."

 

...

 

What in the name of god are A-Counters?

I know Spell counters, but A-Counters?

I never heared of them before.

So what is so special about these counters?

Would somebody explain me?

[HORUS]

theyre pretty much the same, but a-counters are from alien monsters.

[Foenix]

Doesn't a monster lose something like 300 ATK for each A counter?

[The Slime Lord]

^ im pretty sure only an alien monster loses 300 ATK if it has an A-Counter on it.

[Shaco]

No, any monster with an A-counter on it that attacks an Alien monster loses 300 Atk for each, not the Alien monster.

[Mr. Best Male 2008]

a-counter diff name for counter if a monster attacks a and it has a a-counter it loses 300 attak if it is attacking a alien and the a-counter can do other things depending on a aliens effect if u have one on the field

A-Counters are a kind of counter, just like Spell Counters. Their immediate effect is that if a monster with an A-Counter battles an Alien monster, the A-Counter'd monster loses 300 ATK and DEF in the damage step only.

 

Of course, just like Spell Counters, there are some Aliens' effects that only trigger when opponents' monsters have A-Counters, and Alien Psychic is one of those.

[Shaco]

Yep, good explanation

[BS]

A counters a dumb.

[Shaco]

Why, I like them, and they have some really good support with them.
