First, let's investigate monsters.

Peaks for both attack and defense points are at (0, 1800 and 2200) points with a slight peak at 4000 points.

Let's find the relation between the attack and defense points.

The trend shows that monsters have nearly equal attack and defense points.

Next, let's take a look at monster levels..

Monsters level ranges from 1-12. It seems that the most common level is 4 and their number gradually decease until it reaches level 12. What does the level can do with attack and defense? Let's find out.

The mean attack and defense points increase with the increase of the level with high variabiity in both attack and defense points with last 4 levels.

Does the Monster type do anything with attack and defense?

First, we'll take a look at the monster races and the most common ones.

Now let's see the relation between the most common 7 monster races and their attack and defense.

Dragon-Type monsters have the highest average attack and defense, while Fiend and Fairy-Type monsters have a larger variaty in attack and defense points.

Finally, We will investigate the monster types and attributes.

I will continue with the top 6 types to explore better further.

We'll take a look at the monster attributes.

Fusion, Synchro and XYZ monsters have higher attacks than the other types, while Tuner monsters have the lowest.

Second, let's investigate the Spell and Trap cards..

Conclusion

The data gave us a brief introduction for the game and their cards. Monsters are the majority of cards, spell and traps cards comes next.

Monsters attack and defense points of a monster are pretty near to each other while defense points tends to decrease with a monster with higher attack points and vice versa.

Limitations

Unfortunately, I couldn't introduce game ruling as the dataset lacks card effects which would have made a drastic change in our analysis and finding more complex relations and game strategies.
