So, for clarification first, I'm talking about _Yu-Gi-Oh!_ cards that gain
attack based on how many cards you have in your hands.

Say if I had 3 "Slifer The Sky Dragon" copies and had a massive draw deck, I'd
have the "Veil of Darkness"x3, "Pot of Greed"x3, a few draw spells, a few
monsters with draw effects, and a bunch of DARK monsters.

Veil of Darkness lets me draw a card if I draw a dark monster in the draw
phase, and is a continuous spell. If I have 3 Veils, I can draw 3 cards for
discarding a single dark monster. If one of those 3 cards are a Pot of Greed,
I can draw 2 more, but then I have an endless draw chain because of my various
Pots and Draw spells.

This means that if my starting hand after summoning Slifer is 5 and I've drawn
21 cards total, I will have had a total of 26000 ATK on Slifer, making almost
any attempts to win very slim.

The chances of my opponent having a set card like Magic Cylinder or some
counter-effect monster are also nearly impossible. This means that a card like
Ascension Sky Dragon are abusable by the same tricks, given that it doesn't
rely on the Nordic Archetype and can easily be supported by Pots and various
Draw cards.

Does anyone have a counter-argument?

Can hand-reliant stat monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! be abusable?
